The 15 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. You need to pay 5RM as a camera permission. The view was breathtaking! 100% you will get wet but it definitely made the trip fun so be prepared with another clean clothes.”
