Bako National Park is located on the coast of the Muara Tebas peninsula on the island of Borneo, and although it is quite small – only about 16 square miles – it is an incredibly beautiful and diverse piece of land. In Bako National Park, there are swamps, forests, cliffs, and coastal lands like beaches and coves. Visitors can find a variety of hiking trails that range from short walks to long hikes that will take an entire day. Macaque monkeys and silver leaf monkeys are very common in this park, and most visitors will be able to spot these members of the ecosystem as well as the occasional wild boar, monitor lizard, or even a rare proboscis monkey, which dwells in the mangrove trees and is most often spotted early in the morning or late in the afternoon.
