I'm looking at doing a trip to Sipadan in October. I've managed to find various flight options which are straight through to KLU or HKG - allowing me to avoid any forced overnights mid-travel in Tawau or Kota Kinabulu. (I think one direction I can connect BKI, the other has a KLU/TWU nonstop).
I thought that was optimal, but now I've read some nice trip stories about both Orangutans in Sepilok and a jungle canopy tour (not Sepilok and closer to KK? - there was no location detail in it's trip report).
We're looking for this side trip to be only a couple of days, minimize the travel and connection aspect (most all our time is allocated to Sipadan). We'd stay at the attraction location for a night or two, if accommodations are nice and not too budget/backpacker.
- What is the minimum time required for a nice side trip of such?
- Is there a good plan for combining Sepilok and jungle canopy, or is it two different locations? (Danum Valley?)
- Which city minimizes travel time/difficulty to the attractions? What are the travel options (e.g. taxi, hired car, car rental, bus)?
- Any accommodation recommendations, both at attraction location (or nearby of course) and at the required transit city?
Thanks!
