Walking Trails
Sepilok's walking trails are a reminder that, although SORC is on the outskirts of the city, it's at the edge of the rainforest. Trails range from 250m to 4km, and different paths are open at different times of year. Register at the visitor reception centre to use them. Guided night walks may be arranged through the centre or some lodges.
For any walk, carry plenty of water, and cover as much skin as you can bear in the heat to fend off the opportunistic leeches and mosquitoes.

The Silau Silau Trail is an easy 940m, 30-minute trail through centre of the HQ area, along Silau Silau creek. It's mostly flat and easy to walk, making it suitable for most people, including children. It's makes a nice before- or after-dinner stroll.

Canopy Walkway
There's a 41m-high canopy walkway, a short but sweaty walk into the forest above the pools. Unfortunately, the walkway was partially closed at the time of writing and it seems likely to remain so.
