Day 1 Kuching / Bako National Park / Nature Trails Nature lovers, behold. The journey to Sarawak’s oldest national park consists of 2 parts. First, a scenic 45-minute drive to Bako Fishing Village. Second, hop on a 30-minute boat cruise along the coast and the cooling sea breeze to reach Bako National Park. One important note: as you are on the boat cruising through the wild, keep your arms inside the boat at all times as you will cruise by plants covered fully in thorns. You have arrived at Bako National Park. Register and check in to your accommodation. Head to the Park’s Information Centre to get all the necessary details. Get straight on some trails through the mangrove forests, and keep an eye out for mud skippers darting across the waters and bright blue fiddler crabs with their giant pinchers. Keep a keen eye on your wildlife sightings! Shimmy down the trails and spot Proboscis Monkeys, Bearded pigs, silver leaf monkeys and other Borneo primates. Lunch / Dinner Bako National Park Guesthouse (Basic Accommodation)
Day 2 Bako National Park / Kuching Rise and shine! Another new day in the Land of the Hornbills begins. Sarawak is a fascinating place for bird-watching, and that is exactly the agenda for today! With over 150 species recorded here, bird watching in Bako is ideal for both the serious birdwatcher and curious nature lover. Spot other wildlife, such as monitor lizards, squirrels and other animals around the park area. Return to the guesthouse for breakfast. Continue your exploration to the Plateau, home to various botanical delights and several species of carnivorous pitcher plants. You may notice how its vegetation changes from mangrove to rainforest, to Kerangas, and to padang forest. After lunch, depart the National Park and return to Kuching. Breakfast / Lunch End
