A walk down the hour-long Palmetum trail reveals more than 100 different types of palm trees, while other short walks such as the Belian Trail amble past exotic flora including giant mushrooms, figs, durian, and rambutan.
Explore the park—without having to worry about getting lost—on a hiking tour, which typically leads to waterfalls and bathing pools, and focuses on flora such as orchids and pitcher plants. Spot different animal species on a night tour, which reveals nocturnal wildlife such as mouse deer, black hornbills, and more than 60 different species of frog. Tours typically include hotel pickup and drop-off, to save making your way back after dark.
Kubah National Park is a must-visit for nature lovers and travelers looking to go jungle trekking.
There are several accommodation options within walking distance of the park—advance booking is recommended.
If you plan to spend the day hiking, be sure to bring comfortable shoes, insect repellent, a rain jacket, and plenty of water.
The park is accessible by the number 11 bus from Saujana Car Park in Kuching. You can also take a taxi or drive along Jalan Akses, which takes about 45 minutes depending on the traffic.
Kubah National Park and the Matang Wildlife Centre are open daily from morning to early evening. The rainy season in Borneo spans the months of November to March, making May to September the best time to visit for clear skies and dry weather.
Matang Wildlife Centre is Sabah’s main center for wildlife rehabilitation, and a visit here is typically included on day trips to Kubah National Park. At this conservation center, where wild animals are cared for and trained for release back into the wild, visitors can observe orangutans, sun bears, and civets, a cat-like mammal with similarities to a mongoose or otter.
