The best of Borneo wildlife National Park and a wonderful wildlife reserve to spend the day in search of proboscis monkey, wild boar, exotic bird and snake. Bako National Park is famed for being the oldest National Park in Sarawak. It’s relatively easy access provides  a golden opportunity to discover and explore Sarawakian rainforests and wildlife. This is where adventure takes place which involves basic to advanced trekking within the rainforest.

Pick up from the hotel and drive 40 minutes to the scenic jetty of Kampong Bako. From the jetty, the national park guide will arrange for the boat and life jackets before taking a  25-minute boat ride to the national park headquarter situated in Bako peninsula.  Bako is one of the best places in Sarawak to see wildlife in natural surroundings, including Borneo's signature long-nose proboscis monkeys, long-tailed macaques, wild boars (bearded pig), snakes, monitor lizards, and can all be seen in close but safe proximity under the guidance of our expert park guide. 

There are several trails inside the park depending on level of fitness and interest. The 16 square kilometers of primary forests is home to seven distinct ecosystems including beach vegetation, mangrove and peat swamp forest. Constant erosion over millions of years has turned the Bako coastline into a stunning geographical landmark with spectacular cliffs, sea stacks and pristine sandy beaches that dot the area.

This small-group tour includes a local lunch which is served at the national park canteen before the return boat trip back to the mainland. The boat trip offers more opportunity for wildlife spotting including estuary crocodile and shore birds. Transfer back to your city hotel after reaching Kampong Bako jetty.
