Guided Walks
Bako has a total of 17 trails ranging from short walks around park headquarters to strenuous day treks to the end of the peninsula. Guides are available, but it's easy to find your way around because all trails are colour-coded and clearly marked with splashes of paint. Plan your route before starting out on longer walks, and aim to be back at Telok Assam before dark (about 18:45). Some trails may be closed for maintenance after the wet season - check at the park office before setting out.
If you have only one day in Bako, try to get here early and attempt the Lintang Trail (5.25km, 4 to 5 hours). The longest trail is the Telok Limau, a 12km walk that's impossible to do a…

Walking Trails
Other than just relaxing on the beach, the main highlight of Simalajau are its walking trails. All the trails start just north of park headquarters, on the far side of the Likau River. Trails are clear and a guide isn't necessary; a simple trail map is available from park headquarters. Be sure to bring plenty of water as there is no drinking water en route and keep in mind that distances seem much greater in the tropics than they do back home.
As soon as you cross the bridge over the Likau, you'll see a plank walk off to your right, following the river upstream. This 600m Education Trail leads straight through the riverside mangroves and it's brilliant - if you've never b…

Tours, Daniel's Corner
While visiting a longhouse independently can be great, there's a limit to what you can arrange on your own, and the highlight for most visitors in Belaga is taking a longhouse tour. A good package should include jungle trekking, visits to a number of communities, night walks and seasonal activities such as hunting, cooking, land clearing and fruit harvesting.
The most prominent guide operating out of Belaga these days is Daniel Levoh at Daniel's Corner. A Kayan former teacher, Daniel is friendly and knowledgeable and gets good reviews from travellers. He has good connections with several Kayan/Kenyah longhouses between Belaga and the Bakun Dam, as well as the newly-settle…

Mulu Canopy Skywalk
One of the real highlights of the park is its brilliant new Mulu Canopy Skywalk, easily the best in Southeast Asia. The park requires that you traverse it as part of a guided walk. Despite the relatively steep cost, we urge you not to skip this attraction - every bit of the 480m length is unforgettable.
Climbing to the canopy is really the only way to see what a tropical rainforest is all about, since most of the action happens in the canopy, not on the ground. Contact Park Headquarters (HQ) for more details or to arrange a guide.

Wind Cave
About 3km southwest of Bau, the Wind Cave is a network of underground streams on the banks of the Batang Kayan. Slippery, unlit boardwalks run through the caves, allowing you to wander along three main passages with chittering bats swooping over your head. Don’t be tempted to leave the boardwalk if you see steps in the rock – this is probably the exit to a subterranean adventure-caving trail.
