I had never heard of Danum Valley until my partner mentioned it, and he suggested we should plan a trip there to explore the rainforest. Danum Valley is a protected rainforest reserve about 80km from Lahad Datu. On this trip, we also planned to visit the Turtle Islands Park near Sandakan, known for its green and hawksbill turtles.
