Super activity - This is a beautiful place to see. There are animals we have never seen before. The guide was very friendly and very competent. I highly recommend it.

Thanks Edwin , Farrah , Nadia and Bujang- you made my visit unforgettable ! - An experienced guide who knows the land like the back of his hand is crucial . Even then - the nature of these trips are that these are wild animals . They won’t come out because you went there 😀 the knowledge shared by the guide is super interesting and in my case I got lucky - almost everything I set out to see ( or hoping to see ) I got to see .
Additionally, was a great lesson on how the forest is a supermarket and a pharmacy in his own words ( my guide - Bujangh )

Very good trip - The tour operator let us know drop off time prior via WhatsApp. Picked up in AirCon mini bus with 7 other people. We were a group of 4 including 5yo and 7yo. Boat ride was great - nice and cool. We did a couple of trails and our guide found us Macaques, Proboscis Monkeys, Silver Leaf Monkeys, flying lemur, pigs. We took plenty of water and bug spray. Very good day! You could abs diy, but for convenience and hotel pickup/drop off with kids this was great

Review of bako national park and Semenggoh Wildlife Centre - Aloha everyone,
You can take red bus 1 in near electric house to bako national park for 1 myr. And one you arrive at the jetty, it's 100 myr one way or 200 myr roundtrip to the park. If u meet 3 other travelers, then the 100myr is divided into 4 or 25 myr per person. Going back can be tricky since all members have leave at the same time.
You don't need a guide, all trails are clearly marked. Ironically, we only saw pigs, monkeys- black and probiscis near the visitor center.
If you can, spend the night since animals come out early mornings and evenings.
For Semenggoh Wildlife Centre, take bus 103. Download Kuching metro to track bus.
Finally, make sure you visit the tourism visitor center. They will provide you with detailed instructions.

Very nice experience! Very recommended! - Very very nice and interesting experience! And the guide was very expert and insightful! Maybe you should specify that for the boat transfer you could bring with you some sandals (since you have to remove your shoes), but overall a very nice experience!

Beautiful - The short vote ride to the park was very enjoyable. We walked around the beach a little bit and saw very unique rock structures and noticed a few wild bearded pigs walking around. Within the park, we saw a number of different animals like snakes and monitor lizards, I was not fortunate enough to see the proboscis monkey but I believe I will return as I have a few more days here sunblock and mosquito repellent are a must and be prepared for rain which comes and goes there are a number of cool hiking trails and the forest itself is really beautiful with many different trees, some being very unique in that they are covered in spikes. My tour came with lunch, which is a the face style and was pretty good. I'm quite picky and found plenty to enjoy.

Great to see - Fantastic jungle. But the trails Were over crowded and our tour group of 21 meant it was very hard to hear anything from the guide. Guide shared the absolute minimum information so I would not say enriching visit. Good if you want to look but not if you want to learn anything. There is an issue of plastic garbage everywhere, at low tide you can see the plastic caught up in the vegetation, lots around the buildings, and even watched the wild pigs eating it out front of the cafeteria. I wish I brought a bag to collect garbage as i feel tourists should contribute to the solution. Driver was good and company easy to communicate with. Lunch was satisfying.

It's not the time. - To the P.N. Bako leaves to watch the proboscis monkeys, nothing more. In our case we didn't see any and the people in the park knew perfectly well that at this time it was almost impossible to see them. At no time had they prepared food for them to appear. It is not the right time, better to be honest and close the park and not cause disappointment and expense.
