This day tour to Bako National Park was incredibly well organized from start to finish. Everything was taken care of, which made it so relaxing—not having to figure out all the logistics ourselves was a big plus. Our guide was fantastic: knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about the park and its wildlife. The combination of hiking through the jungle and taking a boat ride added a great sense of adventure and variety to the day. We were lucky enough to see all the different types of monkeys that live in Bako, which was such a highlight! Highly recommend this tour if you want to experience the beauty of Bako and learn more about the jungle without the stress of planning it all yourself.

farah watsapp me a day earlier giving info on meeting time (hotel lobby) what to bring & wear. Upon reaching Bako Terminal, we were handed over to our guide, Mr Pujang , a very well informed & experienced guide. He was very focused on spotting silver leaf monkey, proboscis monkey & bearded pig. we were led on a quite challenging Paku trail, which was exciting. Then we got into a speedboat & headed back to HQ for lunch at canteen. Two thumbs up!! 👍👍

On the day of the tour, it was raining heavily on the way to Bako National Park, so I was worried, but it was fine during the tour. We were able to see all five kinds of monkeys. We also saw a beautiful green snake and a bearded boar. Insect repellent and a raincoat are essential.

good trip, guide was soft spoken and you could only hear him if you were in the front. He needed to make an effort to gather the group around.
