Wildlife Wonders: From the Sky to the Depths Below
10-Apr-2025
Category: News Stories
The beauty of wildlife isn’t just found on the landscapes we walk upon—it soars through the skies, thrives in dense forests, and even flourishes beneath the ocean’s surface. Across Asia, these diverse ecosystems tell a story of survival, adaptation, and harmony. From flying foxes painting the sky at dusk to orangutans reclaiming their wild instincts and coral reefs being nurtured back to life, every corner of our natural world holds a lesson in resilience.
Read on and discover how your travellers can experience these extraordinary encounters while playing a role in their preservation.
The Sky: Suyac Island – A Sanctuary Where Nature Prevails
Off the coast of Negros Occidental, Suyac Island stands as a beacon of conservation success. Here, towering mangroves stretch their roots deep into crystal waters, safeguarding a fragile ecosystem where 14,000 endangered flying foxes take to the skies at dusk. The island’s commitment to a “low-volume, high-value” tourism model ensures that every visitor becomes a steward of its pristine environment.
Why You’ll Love It: This is conservation in action—an intimate and immersive experience that directly supports the preservation of nature and the livelihoods of the local community.
Blue Horizons General Manager Gregor reflects, “The true magic of travel lies in the mysteries we uncover—those moments when nature, mystery, and culture come together in ways we can’t fully explain but will never forget. The Philippines is filled with such wonder like the Suyac Islands, and we can’t wait to share them with your travellers.”
The Ground: Into the Wild at Semenggoh Orangutan Sanctuary
Deep in the rainforests of Sarawak, Semenggoh Nature Reserve is a living testament to the power of rehabilitation and conservation. This 740-acre sanctuary provides a safe haven for rescued and orphaned orangutans, giving them a second chance at life in the wild. Visitors have the rare opportunity to witness these incredible primates roaming freely, particularly during the twice-daily feeding sessions.
The adventure doesn’t stop there—your explorers can continue their journey through Sri Aman, discovering vibrant native markets, lush rice fields, and historic sites like Fort Alice.
DTH Travel Malaysia General Manager Renee shares, “Semenggoh is more than just a sanctuary—it’s a symbol of resilience. Every visit helps sustain the efforts to protect Borneo’s orangutans, ensuring future generations can experience the wonder of these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat.”
Why Go? A rare chance to see semi-wild orangutans up close while supporting crucial conservation efforts in one of Borneo’s most important wildlife sanctuaries.
