Highlights

Established in 1957, it is the oldest national park in Sarawak. It covers an area of 27.27 square kilometers (10.53 sq mi) at the tip of the Muara Tebas peninsula at the mouth of the Bako and
Kuching Rivers. It is approximately 40 kilometers (25 mi) by road from Kuching. With its
rainforest, abundant wildlife, jungle streams, waterfalls, unique flora and fauna, secluded beaches, and

trekking trails, Bako National Park offers visitors an excellent introduction to the rainforest of Borneo. While Bako may not have an instantly recognizable star attraction, it is undeniable that
there are very few places in the world that pack so much natural beauty into such a limited area, all just 37 km away from Kuching. Its accessibility and sheer range of attractions and activities
have made Bako one of the most popular parks in Sarawak.
