Great wildlife encounters but the trash situation is a thorn in the eye and a real problem
Beautiful mangrove, sandstone formations and varied ecosystems. We went with Borneo Adventure and going to this park with a knowledgeable guide really makes the difference as guides know where to spot different types of wildlife at different moments of the days. Amongst others we had 3 different encounters with the rare proboscis monkeys, a close encounter with a large troop of silver leaf monkeys, two pit vipers and wild pigs and learnt a lot from our guide Lemon about the vegetation. The logistics to and from the park (from Kuching by van and then boat) were all arranged by Borneo Adventure and super smooth and we would rate the company 5 stars. However, and that explains the 3 stars only, is the presence of huge amounts of trash. Plastic just floats everywhere and is a thorn in the eye and an environmental disaster. The boardwalks should be better maintained as well by the Sarawak Forestry, something we have noticed in all the National Parks of Sarawak.
