Kubah National Park
The basics
A walk down the hour-long Palmetum trail reveals more than 100 different types of palm trees, while other short walks such as the Belian Trail amble past exotic flora including giant mushrooms, figs, durian, and rambutan.
Explore the park without having to worry about getting lost on a hiking tour, which typically lead to waterfalls and bathing pools, and focus on flora such as orchids and pitcher plants. Spot different species of fauna on a night tour, which reveals nocturnal wildlife such as mouse deer, black hornbills, and more than 60 different species of frog. Tours typically include hotel pickup and drop-off to save making your way back after dark.
