About 80 km from Lahad Datu. Sabah Tourism says you must arrange permission, transport and accommodation before you go, and only registered, permitted vehicles may enter.
What to do
Guided jungle walks, birdwatching, night drives and river tubing.
Walk the canopy walkway, 27 m above the forest floor, and visit Fairy Waterfall.
Look for orangutans, banteng, Bornean pygmy elephants and clouded leopards; a yellow meranti here was measured at 100.8 m, reported as the tallest tropical tree in the world.
The weather here
Heavy rain makes the forest tracks muddy and can raise the river, so river activities and travel in and out may change: leave a day of slack. The forest is hot and humid in the middle of the day; walks are best early.
Good to know
Danum Valley is a 43,892 hectare Class 1 (Protection) Forest Reserve. Two places take the public: Borneo Rainforest Lodge and the Danum Valley Field Centre; book directly with them.
