- Canopy walkways — A network of suspension bridges and platforms that let you walk up in the trees and watch the rainforest from the canopy level. Great for panoramic views, birdwatching, and seeing epiphytes and insects you’ll miss from the forest floor.
- Longboat river journey — The ride up the Temburong River to the park is part of the experience: mangroves, river bends, and village life glide by before you hit the wilderness. It’s scenic, atmospheric, and the only practical way in — don’t skip it.
- Primary lowland dipterocarp forest — Old-growth rainforest with huge, multi-layered trees, thick vines, and a real feeling of being in an ancient ecosystem. It’s among the best-preserved lowland forest left in Borneo, and the sheer scale and quiet are memorable.
- Waterfalls and swimming holes

- Waterfalls and swimming holes — Small cascades and clear pools tucked into the jungle where hikers can cool off. They’re not flashy tourist attractions, but they’re peaceful, photogenic, and perfect for a sweaty-day reward.
- Wildlife and birdwatching — Expect hornbills, gibbons and various monkeys, plus a huge diversity of insects, frogs, orchids and pitcher plants. Wildlife encounters are best with a guide who knows where to listen and look.
- Night walks — Guided nighttime hikes open up a different world: tree frogs, nocturnal insects, and sometimes elusive mammals. The forest comes alive in ways you won’t see during daylight — bring a good torch and patience.
- Belalong Field Studies & interpretation trails — The park’s research/education facilities and nearby interpretive trails let you learn about ecology, conservation efforts, and the species that live there. It’s the best place to get context for what you’re seeing on the hikes.
