Traveler reviews
Very rewarding nature experience
Not to be missed! Excellent guide who knows how to pass on his knowledge of the jungle and who explains the culture of Aboriginal people very well!
Awesome day trip with Sathesh
Sathesh made our Taman Negara day trip truly memorable. He's an awesome driver and guide. He's very knowledgeable, friendly, and went above and beyond the whole day. On the way back he even stopped to get us some local food, which was such a great touch. Visiting Taman Negara was one of the highlights of our entire trip, and having the right guide and driver made all the difference. Would absolutely do this again and highly recommend booking with Sathesh!
Worth the visit
Taman Negara National park was exquisite. We started the morning early with our beautiful driver Sathia. She picked us up from our hotel and immediately made us feel welcome and comfortable. She was informative and gave us a find balance between information and rest during the long journey there. The canopy was closed so we walked to the Birsek tree. This walk was stunning. You are completely enveloped in nature and it is breath-taking. My parents struggled with this due to fitness and health issues, but they made it most of the way with the help of our lovely guide, Hakim. Hakim was informative and taught us lots about the local flora and fauna. He was very accommodating to my parents and gave them plenty of rest when they needed it without making them feel rushed or an inconvenience. I highly recommend him. After this walk we went and visited a local indigenous village. We didn't interact much with them except when they taught us some survival skills and how to use the blow pipe. This was good but by the time we got here we had run out of water and there was no option to buy more. We took 1 litre each and was told this was enough. However I recommend taking at least 2 litres each next time. Lunch was fantastic as we were ravenous and from there we could purchase other cold drinks which we did so. We got back around 6:30pm and Sathia again gave us plenty of opportunity to rest and chat. She also gave us lots of ideas for activities and trips in and around Kuala Lumpur which we will be doing. It was such a pleasure visiting this National park and being shown aroumd by Sathia and Hakim.
Good tour
It was a very wonderful experience. However, the day we booked the tour coincided with the Hari Raya holiday, and we were informed at the last minute by the local company that the tour would be postponed by one day. If we had known this earlier, we could have reconsidered our travel itinerary. It was very confusing me. The driver shared the history of the plantations along the way and showed us how rubber trees and palm trees are harvested, which was very informative.
A great day in the National Park
We had the most amazing day in the National Park. Our guide was so friendly and full of local knowledge, we learnt a lot about the jungle and the local people. Our driver Sathia was a delight and gave us some great tips and ideas for the rest of our time in Malaysia. Thanks for a great day.
