Rainforest Discovery Centre
Rainforest Discovery Centre (RDC)
A rainforest education center in Sepilok Forest Reserve, with a canopy walkway about 350 m long and observation towers 25 m high. A great place to see Borneo's birds.
The Rainforest Discovery Centre is managed by the Sabah Forestry Department and lies on the edge of the Sepilok Forest Reserve. Its centerpiece is a canopy walkway about 350 m long, linking several observation towers over 25 m high. From there you can look at the rainforest canopy at eye level and often see hornbills, banded pittas, flying lizards and Prevost's squirrels. On the ground are a lakeside trail, a botanical garden and a rainforest exhibition hall. Early morning is the best time for birdwatching. Admission for foreigners is about RM 20. It's about a 15-minute walk to the Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre, so you can schedule your visit between feeding times.
