It's a nice half day trip - great for trekking, picnic and a dip. We drove our rental car to Kubah National Park, located off Jalan Matang about 22 km from Kuching city, in the afternoon. It was not difficult to find. The entrance fee is RM10 per Malaysian adult. Kubah NP’s most famous features are its palms and frogs... More

Kubah is a worthwhile half-day trip/day-trip for some jungle trekking. Take the green K21 bus--4RM one way, about 45 minutes. (The K21 bus departs Kuching four times daily at 8am, 11am, 2pm, and 5pm and leaves Kubah at 9:30am, 12:30pm, and 3:30pm.) Lonely Planet mentions that the bus drops you off 4km from the entrance to Kubah, but this is... More

My husband and I spend the day in Kubah National Park and it was just beautiful. We got a taxi from Kuching (45 ringitt each way) to the park entrance (30-40 minutes) and arranged for the driver to pick us up at 4:00pm (which thankfully he did). The Park Ranger at the entrance was very helpful and explained the colour... More

The walking here is great - we did the Waterfall walk and had the place to ourselves. The waterfall itself isn't spectacular but the getting there was really nice. The usual SE Asian problems of litter and not enough maintenance cropped up a few times though. Some of the walkways have boards missing or broken and need mending. There didn't... More

Some good trekking in the jungle and whilst there isn't much wildlife other than insects, the forest scenery is impressive.

The Raya trail was closed, and has been for more than a year. Just a pity that the web site, photo copy hiking map, mapboards in the park and the nice lady at reception don't mention this. Worse still you won't find the path blocked until you are 1 hour from the park entrance. We also heard from other vistors... More

Unfortunately it was very rainy the day I visited this park. Though it's beautiful. Go for the waterfall. It's a nice walk in this climate. Be careful because it can be quit slippery.

This was my first look at the Borneo countryside after arriving and I loved it. A taxi got me to the park in no time at all, cost me about 50 ringlets but I didn't bother haggling, I'm sure you can get it cheaper. Arrived at the park and had the pleasure of signing into a empty sign in sheet,... More
