The experience
The walk starts at the Park Office at dusk and runs 1.5km in, then back out the same route. You move slowly through the Borneo rainforest with a headlamp, listening for frog calls and scanning foliage and the forest floor. More than 50 frog species breed in the creeks and pools here, and the guide points out tree frogs clinging to leaves as well as camouflaged ground-dwellers buried in fallen leaves. Spiders, lizards, geckos, snakes and insects also inhabit the park, though what you encounter depends on the night and the season.
The small group size, maximum six people, means you move at a pace that lets everyone stop and look, and the guide can adjust the route based on where sounds are coming from. A headlamp is provided, and the vehicle collects you from your hotel and returns you there after the walk. The whole outing takes about four hours from pickup to drop-off.
Is this one for you?Book this walk if you want to move slowly through the rainforest at night and listen for frog calls rather than rush through a daytime trail: the small group and the pace let you stop whenever the guide hears something worth investigating.
