Semengoh NP for Orangutans
Bako NP Proboscis monkeys, silvir langurs, monitors and wild pigs, mangroves and pitcher plants
Fairy and Wind caves at Bau - bats & bird nests
Santubong mountain, good walk to summitRaflessia
Further out of town is Gunung Gading NP famed for its Raflessia and Tajung Datu NP which is the smallest park on the most western tip near the town of Sematan.
All NP's have basic accomodation and are worth a few nights to explore.
