Coisas para fazer em Bako National Park

Our guide, Din (spelling questionable) was outstanding and really helped us have the best experience possible. He was so knowledgeable and well prepared in every facet of the tour. We saw a great variety of flora and fauna as well as learned about the environment and culture of the local people. The accommodations and food at the park are not fancy but they are comfortable and adequate. The park should screen in the back bathroom area of the cabins. Our trip to Bako was the pinnacle of our experience in Sarawak.

Departing from Kuching city center at 7 AM, a 30-40 minute drive will take you to the jetty for Bako National Park. From the jetty, a 10-15 minute small boat ride will bring you to Bako National Park. Inside the park, you can see wild animals such as monkeys, wild boars, and venomous snakes up close. The tour starts at 7 AM and runs until 2 PM. The walking time in the mountains is quite long, so it might be challenging for the elderly or infirm. It is recommended to get plenty of rest the day before participating in the tour. The tour guide provides very professional explanations and gives sufficient safety precautions to ensure a safe wildlife observation tour, so you can participate with peace of mind. While many visitors to Kuching also go to the Sarawak Cultural Village or Semenggoh Wildlife Centre, the highlight of Kuching is truly Bako National Park. Although the price is not cheap, it is an experience you absolutely must have. Lastly, make sure to bring mosquito repellent to avoid mosquito bites.
