The walking stick

Charles_D, May 2025

Wow, this was one of the most incredible tours I have ever been on. The jungle you trek through is beyond ancient, and literally could have looked like what a dinosaur may have seen. The trail is pretty crazy, but truly beautiful as you wind your way through the jungle. When you get to the waterfall it is gorgeous and the water is so refreshing and the air so nice and cool. There were not nearly as many bugs as I thought there would be, and the ones that were there were practically harmless and dare I say friendly. The tour guide Chen is one of the coolest people I met on my Malaysia holiday. I bet he's hiked this trail hundreds of times, but even then is still enthusiastic about it and having just as much fun as everyone else. Definitely listen to Chen and take the walking stick, it is clutch, and 100% bring a towel and change of clothes. The exertion from the hike combined with the heat and humidity is hardcore. The food provided on the tour was actually pretty good. Flavor wise I enjoyed the breakfast the most, but eating at the waterfall surrounded by the jungle was kind of magical. It is probably a once in a lifetime experience for most people. I highly encourage you to go for it if you're thinking about it. Peace

Fabulous Experience!

What a wonderful day we spent with Chen! It was all so perfectly planned, starting with a prompt pick-up from the hotel and then on for a typical Malaysian breakfast, which was so authentic and delicious. The jungle trek itself was a beautiful experience, the path was deserted so it was just us and the noises of the wilderness which was such a special experience. The waterfall and river swim were very refreshing and the perfect spot for our picnic lunch, again consisting of authentic Malaysian cuisine. After the return trek, Chen drove us to his b&b retreat where we were able to shower and change - and then it was off to a local Malaysian Chinese restaurant for dinner before heading back to our hotel in Kuala Lumpur. I could not fault this tour - we felt we experienced so much and learned so much about Malaysia too. Thoroughly recommend!

HIGHLY recommend

The most amazing and memorable day! This tour will be a highlight of our trip in Malaysia. Chen is an excellent guide, his knowledge and care for the jungle was amazing! The waterfall was absolutely stunning after the hike. You do need to be fit for the hike! Chen was very accommodating and generous, allowing us to shower at his BnB after the hike. The food was also amazing! HIGHLY recommend this tour! Thank you Chen!

Jungle Trek

Michael_D, Apr 2024

The whole trip from beginning to end was superb. The trip is planned perfectly by Chen. I really can't advise you more to do this trip. You get to taste lots of traditional food and walk through proper jungle to a beautiful water fall. My only advice is it is a tough day and you need to be above average fitness as some of the terrain is pretty tough but it is so worth it. Probably the best tour we have done as a family. Thanks Chen.

A Magical Trek along the Magic River

Rachel_J, Jan 2024

Chen was amazing; he guided us on this jungle hike and told us information about the jungle, history, and customs. He let us go at our own pace and would wait for us a key areas to make sure we did not get lost. While I agree that this hike was moderate there were areas that were difficult, especially given the frequency of rain (it is a rainforest!). I think the tour lists close toed shoes as recommended, I would say this is a must. You want a shoe with above good traction (again, it is a rainforest) and good ankle support. While I did this in Chocos I would NOT recommend this. Bring water because you will sweat! Chen also provided walking sticks which I would also 10/10 recommend you opt to use as they were a life saver. The waterfall is well worth the hike; Chen will allow you to frolick for an hour or two or less depending g on demand. While the main purpose was the hike, we also had three local meals. Breakfast and dinner were exceptional! After the hike, Chen brought us to his local B&B and allowed us to shower.
