The 12 Best Taman Negara Rainforest Trips

12 reviewed

Taman Negara has been forest for something like 130 million years, and it still takes a longboat to get properly inside. Start with these: canopy walkway and rapid-shooting day tours from Kuala Lumpur, Orang Asli village visits, overnight options, and an honest note on what the drive costs you in hours.

1.Taman Negara National Park Trek Day Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 395 reviews · 15 hours · from $177Best overall

A 15-hour Taman Negara day tour from Kuala Lumpur with rainforest trekking, Orang Asli culture, and Tembeling River rapids.

“A great active day out of the city. The long trip and early morning start is absolutely fine with the comfortable bus (3 big seats per row). I had an extra service for special pick-up - thanks team for organizing. The jungle tour was rather a hike - be prepared for some steps to climb to enjoy the views. Interesting stop with some activities at the tribal village to add the local culture flavour. Absolute highlight was the boat trips - fun and refreshing, soaked to the bone. The guides were really friendly and supportive.”

This allowed us to get really close to the elephants, to pet them & feed them…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 59 reviews · from $170

Early start from Kuala Lumpur for Taman Negara rainforest trekking, Orang Asli village demos, rapids boat ride, plus Batu Caves steps.

“Amazing, the best part of our trip to Malaysia. But be careful of the walkway bridge, there is a section with a ladder. It takes patience and calm to walk on. There is an option to avoid the bridge. The boat ride is amazing. Make sure you take a change of clothes and make sure you change, you will fall ill otherwise. The Batu caves are amazing, but maybe do that on the way back.”
