Labuk Bay Proboscis Monkey Sanctuary, located near Sandakan in Sabah, offers a rare chance to see Borneo’s iconic proboscis monkeys up close. Set within a private mangrove forest, the sanctuary has feeding platforms where these unique long-nosed monkeys gather daily, often joined by silvered leaf monkeys and hornbills.

Visitors can watch the animals from raised decks and learn about conservation efforts protecting their shrinking habitat. Entry fees help maintain the sanctuary, and it’s best to visit during scheduled feeding times for the most activity.
