Sandakan Wildlife Prices 2026: RM5 for Sepilok on a MyKad, RM30 Without One, and the Camera Fee Nobody Mentions
Sandakan is the cheapest wildlife day in Malaysia if you are Malaysian, and one of the dearest if you are not. We read the published 2026 rates for eight Sandakan sites on 18 September 2026. A Malaysian family of four does Sepilok, the sun bear centre and the Rainforest Discovery Centre for RM64 in a single day. The same family on foreign passports pays RM340 for the identical three tickets. Sepilok and Labuk Bay both charge a separate camera fee, the three Sepilok sites sit within walking distance of each other, and their feeding times collide in ways a day plan has to work around.
8 Things to Do in Sandakan, Sabah 2026 — and What Each One Costs on a MyKad
A foreign visitor pays RM30 to watch the orangutans at Sepilok. A Malaysian pays RM5. That gap runs through almost every gate in Sandakan, and almost no travel guide written for the Malaysian market says so. We checked eight Sandakan attractions against Sabah Tourism Board, the Sabah Museum and each centre's own site this week, and set out both rates, the real opening hours — including the shorter Friday sessions — and the feeding times worth planning a day around.
