★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 318 reviews · 10 hours · from $173

Full-day Taman Negara trip from Kuala Lumpur with jungle trekking, rainforest boat ride, blowpipe and rapid shooting, plus riverside lunch.

“It was an amazing day! The early start is worth it - we had a full day in Taman Negara and did the hike to the top of the mountain/viewing point as the canopy walkway is still closed. We saw gibbons and elephant tracks - sadly no elephants or malay tigers! The boat cruise and visit to the aboriginal village was the highlight - incredibly interesting to see and understand how the live in these rainforests to this day! The lunch was in a traditional restaurant and was also delicious. Our driver (Mr Veerias) and our tour guide were super - really helpful and fonts of knowledge!”

10.Taman Negara National Park Teras Waterfall

★★★★★★★★★★3.8 · 4 reviews · from $194

Kuala Lumpur day trip to Taman Negara: 550 m canopy bridge, Teras Waterfall trek, Orang Asli visit, river cruise, rapid shooting.

“The experience was very enjoyable, but objectively speaking, the description should specify that the tracking is quite challenging. Furthermore, the price included entry to the park, but I had to pay for it again on site. It wasn't a problem because the cost was really negligible, but perhaps the management should be reviewed a little. It was really tough, but the contact with nature and the descent down the river were fantastic!”
