Nestled away in the rainforests of northern Borneo, Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre is home to a conservation programme established to help captive or displaced orangutans to learn to fend for themselves in the wild.
Groups will be able to explore the local habitat and attend feeding time to learn more about the ‘man of the forest’. There is a network of platforms and trails where students can get close to and photograph these magical creatures.
There is arguably nowhere else in the world that can offer such clear sightings of these brilliant great apes, as other locations are usually obscured by incredibly dense foliage.
Borneo offers a perfect location for biology studies. The third largest island in the world, it has a fascinating range of habitats to discover and a vast array of plant and animal species to study.
On this expedition to Borneo, pupils will explore rainforests, see amazing wildlife, witness conservation in action, take part in a community project and snorkel along coral reefs full of incredible marine life.
This marine and rainforest field trip allows pupils to complete their PADI Open Water course, learn about marine conservation, visit an orangutan rehabilitation centre and stay in a jungle camp.
