WELCOME to the living museum of geological wonders – Bako National Park in Sarawak.
It is Malaysia’s oldest national park and is now 50 years old. Time and natural forces of waves and wind have sculptured bewildering rock formations such as sea stacks and arches as well as caves.
The park has almost every type of vegetation found in Borneo. Covering 2,727 hectares at the tip of the Muara Tebas peninsula, Bako has seven complete eco-systems.
