Situated in the western corner of Sarawak on the island of Borneo the Bako National
Park is a pristine slice of Malaysia's natural beauty nestled in the glittering waters of
the South China Sea.
The twenty minute boat ride from Kampang Bako to Bako National Park winds its way through
the lush countryside where fishing villages line the shore and boats of every description
speed locals across the waters.
The landscape of Bako National Park is a riot of colours, sounds and smells being home to
a tremendous variety of tropical plant and animal life indigenous to the area.
The stark sandstone cliffs rise from the shore in a kaleidoscopic show of colours while the
dense tropical jungle provides a haven for the playful monkeys that cavort through the
treetops and gambol on the beach.
There is a great range of hiking paths catering to every level of fitness from verdant jungle
trails to man-made boardwalks over the salty marshlands.
Bako National Park - where jungle meets the ocean - offers visitors a taste of Malaysia's
natural splendor.
