Just get a taxi from your hotel and then get them to wait for you. Your hotel desk can make the arragements and the taxis are happy to wait. The moon bear sanctuary is not at all close to the proboscis monkeys as it is right across the road from the orangutang rehabilitation centre, but that is a good 30 minute or so taxi ride from the monkeys.

Didn’t know there were two platforms! we were part of a tour that arrived at Platform A for the 11.30 feeding time and had an amazing visit staying for 30/40 mins. You really do get up very close and personal. Once would have been sufficient for me. We did the orangutans, monkeys and sun bears on the same tour.

As I know the management is doing very good, well maintain and keep clean of the area. For feeding time 11:30am and 4:30pm at platform B is much comfortable and safe for tourists to visit. Some more tourists can walk around and walk-in to walk way to the forest area. For B platform you can see the Silver Leaf Monkey, Proboscis monkey and Hornbill bird. If platform A, you can’t see them. You only can see Proboscis monkey. For me, I do prefer platform B and not so hot at this point. Even can get closer for viewing. Those workers feeding bread without sugar and green cumber to Proboscis monkey. As for Silver Leaf monkey, they eat green long beans only. Some times you might see the monitor Lizard walk pass by at the area. That is a canteen (cafe)at the platform B.

Nope , they dont receive credit card as payment , all done by cash , for adult its rm60 , happy holidays

This area is very safe. You can go with tour guide if your concerns are language barriers. Generally people speaks english. Crime rate is very low in the area too.

All our travel while in Sandakan area was done with our guide Christopher, so sorry cannot help. But could it be that nobody else had booked for today & shuttle service is minimum of 2 people.

Nonsense only a handful are kept and its a tiny amount of forest ( have seen bigger gardens). All the monkeys (7-10) stay outside the office\shop.Local tourists pulling at them and taking ridiculous selfies with no respect for animals. not wild nor natural. Cats everywhere for petes sake. It's a Petting zoo ( in a back garden) for the ignorant who are too lazy to see real deal and just want to take the picture for those at home. Hypocrisy if I ever saw it. Go if you want to see them but don't pretend you contribute to conservation
