- Moka Ridge Viewpoint: a short but steep climb that rewards you with sweeping views over the rainforest canopy down to the Gulf of Guinea — magical at sunrise when mist peels off the valleys.
- Primary Lowland Rainforest Trails: old-growth forest with towering trees, buttressed roots and thick understory — great for hikers who want quiet, biodiversity and the chance to spot mammals and forest-floor life up close.
- Hidden Waterfalls & Natural Pools: scattered cascades tucked into narrow ravines; perfect for a cooling dip after a sweaty hike and for photography when the light hits the spray just right.

- Birding Along the Rivers: river edges and flooded flats attract a big mix of birds — kingfishers, hornbill-like species, colorful sunbirds and migrants — dawn here is an especially loud and rewarding time.
- Cloud-Forest Groves: higher, mossy sections full of epiphytes, orchids and ferns; cooler air and dripping branches give the place an otherworldly feel and different wildlife than the lowlands.
- Night Walks & Frog Choruses: the park comes alive after dark — tree frogs, owls and nocturnal insects dominate; short guided night walks are the best way to catch this side of the forest safely.
