3D2N Bilit Sandakan Package
Overview of Tour
Sandakan is a city and port located in eastern Sabah, East Malaysia, and northeastern Borneo. It is situated on the strongly indented east coast of the Sulu Sea, at the mouth of the Kinabatangan River. It was the capital of British North Borneo (now Sabah) until 1947 and is the state's commercial centre. The Kinabatangan River is the longest in northeastern East Malaysia (North Borneo). It begins its 350-mile (563-kilometer) northeasterly route in the eastern Witti Range. The river flows through a broad, heavily forested plain for the most part before ending in a wide delta at the Sulu Sea between Sandakan and Kampong Tambisan. The Kinabatangan is navigable upstream for about 200 miles (320 km). The Kuamut and Lokan rivers are its tributaries.
