Early morning, after hotel breakfast, we try catch the bus (8am) to Jetty, and transfer by boat to Bako National Park.

You can overnight at Bako if you love quiet and peaceful nights working on your own stuffs.

Many categories of trail route available for beginners to expert.

Waiting to board the boat. The weather was amazing great that day!

The picturesque journey to Bako Park was just as great

Bako National Park is the oldest National Park (also the smallest 2727 Hectares) since 1957. Understand that it the most well-maintained nature trails (short strolls to serious full day hikes) and most interesting, as it contains almost every type of vegetation (swamp forest, mangrove forest, delicate cliff, dipterocarp forest, and more) found in Borneo.

She was finding the best angle to capture that friendly Wild Boar.

Can you anticipate how huge this boar is? I have never seen one this size.

Number 1 Park in Borneo. That's the distinguished landmark (Sea Stack).

Some said it looked like a Cobra, how about you?

Walking up to Sea Stack (point 6) and repetitive route back could be boring, so

we chartered a boat (RM35) there and trail back to save time for our other activities. The other

route to see Proboscis Monkey we skip as not necessary will get to meet one as they are shy.

A great choice to chartered a boat.

Price is reasonable, faster to finish similar route, and easier for photo-taking of Sea stack.

Another tourist attraction - Mountain Santubong. It 35km away from Kuching capital.

Because of heavy rain washing down from the mountain, it gave the sea another

beautiful color which i love.

Finally i am up here

On the way back to jetty at Bako, we saw a Proboscis Monkey with his super long tail.
If you wonder how it looks like, i have google one for your convenient.
Cute right? Can run super fast!

Look like a lovely couple cuddle together.

Requested the Red bus driver for us to alight when we saw many street foods (Jalan Padungan).

It's after the bus turn in to the Iconic Big White Cat Statue (right of picture)

It just 11 mins walk back to hotel.

Another Cat statue landmark

After a long day walking and hiking, evening foot massage session is awarding.

The street will be quite dark if you plan to walk back.

(Map above) TopSpot foodcourt is near to hotel as well. MUST visit this place if you plan for seafood meal. You be spoil for choice. The place is huge but crowded. Everywhere is quiet but not here at night.
