The 6 Best Taman Negara Tours from Kuala Lumpur

1.Taman Negara National Park Trek Day Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 395 reviews · 15 hours · from $177Our pick

Spend 15 hours reaching Taman Negara from Kuala Lumpur, then hike rainforest trails toward Teresek Hill, eat lunch at a floating restaurant, visit a Bateq village, and ride the Tembeling River rapids. English-speaking guides such as Mushroom or Kopi explain the forest and local culture. The trek is humid and stair-heavy, and the boat ride will likely soak you.

“My best activity in Malaysia so far!! The tour guide was very friendly, our driver was super cool. The guide had a lot of information to share about the place.

He provided so much great info about Kuala Lumpur and Malaysia on our drive to and from Taman Negara. The drive was smooth and enjoyable. Once we got to Taman Negara, the nature guide took over. We started with the hike, which was quite challenging! Lots of steps. We saw a gibbon, a flying lemur, bats and many cool plants. The walking canopy was closed (as we had been informed before booking). After the hike, we took a boat ride to the Orang Asli (aborigine) village and learned how to…”
