At 7am, depart for Taman Negara, a 130-million-year-old tropical rainforest that is home to endangered tigers, elephants, tapirs, and more.

Day 03

Taman Negara Rainforest Adventure

At 8am, set out on a jungle trek with your Nature Guide to a viewpoint for a stunning view of Gunung Tahan, Malaysia's highest mountain. Then catch a boat as the boatman negotiates the gushing waters to reach an aborigine village. Watch fire-making and blowpipe demonstrations done the native way, and you may also take part in the activities. The aborigines are naive people, and the rainforest is their supermarket. You can interact with them through your Nature Guide. Their colonies are scattered all over Taman Negara and may soon be no more due to rehabilitation. Your Nature Guide will share facts and taboos of Taman Negara as he leads you to a rainforest waterfall for a cool dip, a therapeutic stress reliever. Return to the hotel. Free and easy.
