मुख्य आकर्षण और अनुभव

Sarawak's Oldest Park

Gazetted in 1957, Bako packs rainforest, heath (kerangas), cliff vegetation, mangrove and near-deserted beaches into 27.27 km² on the Muara Tebas peninsula. Wildlife is the draw: proboscis monkeys at dusk near HQ, silvered langurs, bearded pigs wandering the grounds, and monitor lizards on the trails.

Boat-Only Access and the Sea Stack

There is no road into the park: the 20-minute boat from Kampung Bako jetty lands at the HQ beach. Trails range from the easy Telok Paku loop to full-day routes to Telok Limau. The iconic cobra-head sea stack at Telok Assam partially collapsed in February 2024 — the arch is visibly changed.

पहुँचने का तरीका

From Kuching: ~40 km / 45 min by road (bus 1 to Kampung Bako area) then 20-minute boat from Kampung Bako jetty to Park HQ beach.
Park entry RM20 foreign adult / RM7 foreign child / RM10 MY adult / RM3 MY child; boat return RM40 foreign / RM30 MY (official operator); conflict listing RM47/RM97

भ्रमण का सर्वोत्तम समय

Year-round; March-October drier trails; boats suspended in rough seas
