The Experience

Before You Go

Wear closed-toe shoes

Sturdy sneakers with grip protect feet on the 20-minute walk and give confidence on platforms; sandals are not allowed.

Expect mud and roots

The access trail is uneven—bring ankle-support shoes and watch your step after rain.

Secure loose items

Phones and sunglasses can fly; use a tether or leave valuables in your taxi.

Hydrate and time it right

Choose morning slots to avoid midday heat and bring water—humidity makes short efforts feel harder.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Short viewpoint trail near the park entrance that overlooks inland forest ridges
  • Nearby rubber plantation paths that are quiet for a post-zipline walk and birding

Wildlife

  • White-handed gibbon (vocal in early morning)
  • Long-tailed macaque (keep distance; they’re curious)

Conservation Note

Guides follow strict anchoring techniques to protect trees and the operator supports local reforestation; visitors are asked not to feed wildlife or carve into bark.

The park occupies rewilded inland plots where rubber and fruit plantations once dominated—today eco-adventure operators highlight reforestation and low-impact structures.
