Adventures For The Eco-Enthusiast
Explorers will make their way through the jungle, trekking through the deep limestone hill forests of the Lost World of Tambun. They can witness and explore the unique flora and fauna and experience the beauty of its waterfalls and mysterious caves. Or visitors can delve deeper into the caves for an exploration of the Gua Datok, a cave dating back 400 million years. For those seeking an adrenaline rush, there is a three-hour cave exploration experience at the Six Mile Tunnel. Eco-enthusiasts are guided by experienced guides through the 765-yard-long cave tunnel, walking through knee-deep mud, swimming across a shallow pool, before continuing to walk through chest-deep water inside the tunnel.
Tambun River Cruise
For those interested in a more relaxing activity, visitors can hop on board the Tambun River Cruise where they can sit back and take it all in as the cruise sails through the picturesque bends of the Tambun River.
Malayana – The Ancient Tribe
Tambun’s rich history tells the story of the Malayana, an ancient tribe that hunted, gathered and built temples for a living. They communicated in a language known as the ‘Koo Koo’ language. The tribe still lives happily in the jungles of the Lost World of Tambun, and as visitors journey through the park, they may come across some of them clad in their traditional Malayana costumes.
