After 74 years, you can walk the Sandakan Death March track in the footsteps of those heroes.With Sandakan Spirit as your trekking company, you’ll be participating in both a personal discovery experience and an historic Borneo adventure.

The most acclaimed authority on the Sandakan Death March and Sandakan POW camp is Don Wall.
Don Wall is a Veteran of WW11, volunteering for service with the AIF, serving with the 2/20 Battalion 8 Division. After the fall of Singapore Don then became a POW.
Don had the full co-operation during his research of Sandakan Death March survivors Keith Botterill, Owen Campbell and Nelson Short. These in-depth discussions covered all aspects of the events of prisoner of war life in Sandakan.
Don wrote his first book Kill the Prisoners way back in 1988 and his revised fourth edition in 1995.
Don also had full access and permission to use the private records of Lt. Col. H.W.S Jackson, MBE (Ret.) in particular records of the recovery of remains, his first hand knowledge of the people of Borneo, those that witnessed the prisoners on the marches and those who saved the lives of the six survivors.
The other prominent authority and author on Sandakan and the Sandakan Death March is Kevin Smith.
Do not be deceived in believing that there has only been one book written about Sandakan and the Sandakan Death March.
Don and Kevin have researched and written excellent books.
We also base our treks on the reports compiled by Veterans of Borneo, Major R.E. Steele, WO W. Wallace and SGT R.J. Kennedy.

Wild Spirit has an office in Kota Kinabalu that is run by our experienced and reputable local partner. This office deals with administration and logistics once clients are in Sabah Borneo. Our Head Office is on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland.
Wild Spirit is dedicated to showing and telling the story of the POWs along the infamous Sandakan Death March Route to our trekkers. It is a story that every Australian should know about.
Our guides are passionate about the history and will share their detailed knowledge of the route and its history with you. We are also dedicated to looking after the villagers and village people along the Sandakan Death March track. Our Sabah Dusan Guides and Porters will share their history and culture with you.
Our Sabah Dusan guides are the best; they discovered and uncovered sections of the forgotten war time track. Our guides will show you all the historic and cultural sites across the Sandakan track.
Our treks are generally led by our experienced Local Guides, however, we can negotiate an Australian Guide for some treks.
Managing Director Wayne Wetherall has spent years researching the history of the Track and has GPS’ed the entire length of the track, to create an up to date profile of the track.
After you pass through Malaysian Immigration and collect your luggage, you will go through Customs.
If you are arriving the day before your trek or the day of trek, you will be met at the airport by a representative from our local partners office. You will then be transported to the hotel where you will be checked in.
If you are arriving earlier than the day before your trek, you will need to arrange with the hotel for airport transfers. I would suggest when booking your extra night accommodation that you request with the hotel for airport transfers.
Our preferred Hotel in Sandakan is the 4 star, Four Points Hotel by Sheraton. In Kota Kinabalu, the 5 star Le Meridian. If no availability we will source a similar quality Hotel.
If you hold an Australian Passport No Visa is required.
Travel tip
Wear your boots on the plane and bring essential items in your carryon luggage. Bags do go missing; bags can be left back in Australia. If you have got your boots, medical supplies and some personal items with you and your bag goes missing, then you still have your basic requirements to trek.
On the Death March you need to take local currency (Malaysian Ringgit). We recommend a daily allowance of 20 – 30 ringgit. You can organise to buy Malaysian currency through your local bank before you leave Australia or at the money exchanger at the International Airports. I would highly recommend that you have Malaysian currency before leaving Australia. There are shops near our accommodation where you can buy food and drinks to top up your stocks or for a treat.
Our Sandakan Death March treks we have a maximum group size of 16, with an average size of 12.
Group sizes will vary for Anzac groups, Sandakan Day groups as well as private/special occasion groups.
The hiring of a personal porter is not necessary; you will only need to carry a light day pack.
Malaysia is a non-tipping society, so tipping your guides, cooks and driver is not necessary but is appreciated and considered a ‘free will’ gesture. You may want to reward a job well done, so RM200 is a good tip. Any of your excess clothes or caps, t-shirts etc would be very much appreciated.
Gaiters are a personal choice; I just use the light weight cotton “gardening/mowing” style to prevent sticks rocks etc from getting into my boots. Refer to our website for your gear list requirements.
Wild Spirit has a comprehensive trekking gear list to help you with your essential items. Refer to our website for your gear list requirements.
You will need a 30/40 litre pack for your day pack.
Water/Electrolytes
You will need to carry a minimum of 3 litres of water on you. You will be given bottles of water each morning which you can pour into your water bladder if you prefer, otherwise you can just use the bottles.
It is essential that you take electrolytes with you. Yes, electrolytes are essential. We have our own specifically blended electrolytes for trekking Kokoda which can be purchased from Kokoda Spirit at http://www.kokodaspirit.com.au/booknow/trek-fuel/
Put in your water, every 3rd litre, it prevents dehydration due to high perspiration losses due to exertion and high humidity. Dehydration, overheating and hyponatremia can become major issues on the track. It is very important to keep drinking fluids and utilising salt and electrolyte replacements on the Track. Because of the higher level of activity, temperature and humidity you will tend to sweat more. With the increased fluid intake and sweating you also tend to flush out of your system essential minerals, salts etc. This is why it is important to use electrolytes, salt replacements and glucose type products.
Water purifying tablets should be taken along as a precaution.
With the different environments, conditions, food and water, upset stomachs, vomiting and diarrhoea can occur. Please ensure you bring adequate medication.
Wild Spirit needs to be advised when booking if there are any particular dietary requirements. We do our best to manage your requirements, but accept no responsibility due to availability.
Supplements may be implemented.
We can generally provide Gluten Free and Vegetarian menus on request, we do need to be advised at least 6 weeks prior to trek departure.
Below is a general outline of meals whilst on the trek.
Dinners are at a local restaurant and will be either, Malaysian, Indian or Chinese.
PEANUTS – when cooking our meals some of our sauces have peanut traces. Our porters and trekkers do eat peanuts, muesli bars, biscuits which may contain peanuts. Upon booking it is the trekker’s responsibility to advise Sandakan Spirit should they have an allergy to Peanuts.
Yes you can. This has not been an issue before. You must declare your food and advise customs that it is for trekking.
The facilities on the Sandakan Death March track are very basic at best.
However, our hotel accommodation has showers toilets and basic washing facilities.
The Sandakan Death March track can be trekked all year round, but the conditions on the track vary due to the changes in the season. The seasons are broken up into the dry season and the wet season. These seasons also have sub seasons which fringe the wet and dry season.
The dry season is normally from late May to late October. Good conditions can still be expected in April and November. It is possible to get rain and consequently mud on the Track during any season or month. Late November, December, January, February and March can be wet and muddy.
The temperature will range from 24-28 degrees under the canopy and up to 36 degrees out in the open areas. The night time temperature will range from 18-24 degrees. Humidity will range between 80% – 95%
Wild Spirit does not trek at night. Our itineraries are designed to ensure you are at your accommodation well before night fall.
Wild Spirit has an emergency evacuation plan which is implemented. On receiving call for assistance we activate our plan and organise medical, travel insurance and evacuation plans. Contact us if you required more details.
Villages
Whilst in the villages we recommend you do not give money to anyone, as this does create problems between the village people. They live as a community and money needs to be shared between all in the village.
If you would like to take something to the villages, a gift that they can share is more appropriate, clothes, ball games, colouring in items books reading and writing.
First aid items are also very much needed (and appreciated) e.g. Band-Aids, antiseptic lotions, strapping etc.
Please refer to our sustainable Ecotourism strategy policy on the website. This will give you an insight into our philosophy and policy.
Our accommodation along the track is clean, safe and basic and in forestry lodges, motel style rooms and longhouses.
Walking poles are essential and are a very good aide for trekking. They are used as a support and breaking system for the steep downhill sections. You can buy walking poles through our office or from camping stores. It is a good idea to train with the poles. Some people find one pole sufficient, but it is your choice.
Yes, you do need travel insurance, it is very important. You are responsible to organise your own Travel/Medical insurance.
You will need coverage for medical evacuation; medical, theft, loss etc. Travel Insurance MUST include Medical Evacuation (anywhere in Malaysia) and medical expenses including hospital coverage in Malaysia and Australia. It can be a very costly experience for you if you do not have your Travel Insurance! **
We require a copy of your personal, Travel and Medical Insurance no later than 4 weeks before departure. Failure to have travel and medical insurance will prevent you from trekking.
Yes. Approximately 3 months prior to your trek Wild Spirit will email a letter that you need to take to your doctor.
We ask that this original Drs Letter be scanned and emailed to our Wild Spirit office no later than 4 weeks before departure.
It is Wild Spirit’s requirements that every trekker must obtain medical clearance from their doctor. If we do not receive the original Wild Spirit Drs letter, unfortunately your trek will be cancelled.
Sandakan Spirit has a “no alcohol/no drugs” policy while trekking on the Sandakan track. It is however possible in our accommodation to buy local beer to be consumed with your meal, as this is not on the track itself but in a motel style facility.
We were part of the committee that developed the draft policy. We will continue to support the Code of Conduct to ensure the long term protection of the track.
It is very important that we all take good care of the Track. Whilst trekking, please put your own rubbish in your backpack until you can dispose of at end of the day. If you see rubbish on the Track, pick it up and put it in our rubbish bags.
Our web site has a complete list of gear required to trek Sandakan or contact us and we will send the list out to you. We can also supply a range of cost effective gear to suit your requirements.
Yes, absolutely. It is essential that you have an appropriate, personal, first aid kit for the conditions.
It is not essential to wear boots across the Sandakan track but I highly recommend good quality comfortable footwear. My boots are 100% water proof. (At least they are until the water comes over the top) They are also a light weight Gortex construction for quick drying. They have an aggressive Vibram flexible grip and sole for better traction on the track. Companies will push their own brands and preferences and attempt to convince you of the benefits. My suggestions are that the boots must be comfortable, be at least one size bigger than you would normally wear. This will prevent you from getting sore toes on the declines; your feet can also swell causing discomfort. They should also be light weight quick drying and have a good flexible and aggressive grip. The track is harsh on boots so do not risk old or suspect boots. I have found Aku and Scarpa boots to be the best for me.
No, we do not have exclusive use of the lodges along the Sandakan Death March Track. It is quite possible that some lodges will be shared by other trekkers.
Yes we do walk the real Sandakan Track. You will walk in the footsteps of the POWs.
The best way to minimise risk on the Sandakan Track is to trek with a professional trekking company like Wild Spirit. Wild Spirit has a comprehensive risk management plan and safety procedures.
Our guides are first aid trained for wilderness situations.
It is important that you get yourself a full medical check before training. Wild Spirit requires a full medical clearance from your doctor before trekking with us. Proper preparation and training before your trek is absolutely essential. It is also essential to ensure you take precautions to prevent, dehydration, hyponatremia and overheating.
While you do not need to be an Olympic athlete, you still need to be in great physical condition, with good endurance and stamina. You need to be able to walk up to 9 hours per day in hot and humid conditions. The terrain over the Sandakan Track is tough and can be steep in parts. You need a strong heart, lungs, quads, calves and a strong and positive attitude. A dedicated training program is required.
Contact your fitness professional or check out our training program on the website. We recommend you consult your medical practitioner before undertaking any new training program.
Please Note: All trekkers need to be aware that being well above your healthy weight range seriously impacts on your ability to complete the Track. Should you fall into this category we highly recommend that you concentrate your training on an intensive weight loss/fitness program. You may like to consider hiring a personal trainer to assist you with your fitness goals. Once again we recommend you consult your medical practitioner before undertaking any new training program.
Our training program is on our website alternatively if you would like a copy we can email this to you upon request.
A Wild Spirit shirt will be posted to each trekker. With large groups the shirts are posted to the person who has organised the trek. Completion certificate will be handed out to trekkers on the completion of their trek.
