Mutiara Taman Negara is a great place to relax and is so close the forest. After viewing the video at night, I only knew Taman Negara is about 250 millions years old!! It is one of the oldest rainforest in the world!! I am so proud of Malaysia!! I stayed at the challet just behind the forest, we were so... More

I just did a self guided solo trip to Taman Negara and had a good experience. This review is going to be very long because I am going to include my entire experience (with transportation, lodging, food, exploration, etc). I found it hard to get such details on the internet, so figure I should go ahead and document it here.... More

Enjoyed our visit despite the rain which were lucky to (mostly) avoid. You can do most of the guided walks here on a boardwalk but we strongly advise you skip the guide and do your own thing at least once. We got to the canopy walk an hour before the tour groups and had the entire walkway to ourselves for... More

We travelled with NKS for the 'package' and where verry dissapointed!! To say the least. The package is way to expensive for the overall outcome. Drivers of NKS where ryding like David Hamilton which resulted in more unneeded waiting. On the way back we where tplaced in a minivan with empty fueldrums, so the windows has to be opened to...

Thanks John (of John's Adventures) and your team for the wonderful experience! Our guide was amazing- no one left behind and so encouraging, and the helpers were all very sweet. Would definitely recommend them to whomever is thinking about Rinjani Our group of 7 purchased the 3 day/2 night hike (I think the amount of time was perfect, any longer... More

Taman Negara park is very well organized and it is one of the few real jungles that can be explored by yourself without guides. The lodges inside the park are very expensive, but you can stay at the hostel in village outside for much cheaper. At the entrance, take a map of the paths, rent sleeping bag, buy food and... More

The national park is beautiful and the canopy walk makes your heart race but offers spectacular views. Saw a family of wild boar and various wildlife. Did get bitten by leeches though so take a lighter or vinegar so remove them - don't pull them off leaving teeth in and risking infection.

Taman Negara the national park deserves 5 stars. The vast majority of people running tours, the sour faced people charging a fortune for disgusting food and accomodation deserve less than one star. I first went to Taman Negara 10 years ago, and went again last week. I booked a ticket with local travel desk ( I think NKS Travel) to... More
