Your adventure begins with a pick-up at your Sandakan hotel or the airport. The journey itself is a taste of the untamed wilderness for half a day from Sandakan to Telupid, into the base of the Kinbabatangan at a different point. We'll welcome the guests and then give a quick rundown of Kinabatangan's history and local culture. Next, hop into a tough 4WD for an exciting ride along the logging roads right into the heart of the Imbak Canyon conservation area. The gravel road to the Imbak Canyon Studies Centre can get a bit bumpy and slick when it’s wet, and pretty dusty when it’s dry.

When arrive to the Imbak Canyon Studies Centre (ICSC), settle into your cosy, eco-friendly lodge or camping depending on your options and be briefed on the wonders that await. Once the afternoon heat cools down a bit, take a quick stroll around the headquarters giving a sneak peek at the amazing birdlife and maybe even some of the local mammals. Check in and rest.

Dinner will be served buffet-style in the Bambangan Dining Hall. Our guests will enjoy native Malaysian cuisine. After dinner, head over to the Conference Room for a video presentation from the ICCA team and a chat about Imbak Canyon Conservation Area. Guests can check out the stunning scenery at the Bornean Majestic Refugium. Time to turn off the lights, overnight at Imbak Canyon Studies Centre
