Trip to EAST BORNEO, Bangkirai Hills/Rain Forest. The access is the main problem. Expect the rocky & bumpy road, NOT RECOMMENDED for motorbike & small car. Bangkirai trees has reached 150 years with the height of 40-50 meters. Four canopy bridges connects 5 Bangkirai Trees with a total length of 64 meters and 30-40 meters height from the ground. From Balikpapan City it takes about 30kilometers to reach here. And you need to hike within the forest for about 15-20 mins to reach the canopy bridge. Views that worth the hike.

even though the access is so far from city but this is the best place for escape from crowded city and have relaxing time with family, friends and community. the fresh air from natural woods and various playground you can try out! oh they have spacious parking lot too.

I love this place very much. It took so much time to get there from Balikpapan. And the access road was not that smooth. Once you are there, you will be amused with the giant trees. The tracking route is so fun. You can also do a tree top activities. A bit scary though. There were not so many people there. SO peace and quiet. There was not any food stall, so you better bring your own water and snack. Bug spray is also recommended. I am not sure if you could see orang utan there but you could observe some birds. Tracking shoes is very recommended. It would be great if the operator could provide w map. The office also sells souvenir such as hat and bracellet.

This is one of the best rain forest park easily located from the city of Balikpapan. You will be able to see a large variety of flora and fauna... There are some trees originated in kalimantan with extra big size. You will also found bridges connecting between trees...

The place is awesome, good maintenance. A good place for a short walk/trekking in the woods. The view from the canopy bridge is beautiful, but becareful up there. The road to this place is not well maintained. During the rain, you better ride 4WD cars to get here. Small cars works fine if the road is dry enough.

(Translated by Google) we visited the beauties of the place including a path in the virgin forest among the lianas on the tops of the trees 30 meters above the ground, beautiful (Original) abbiamo visitato le bellezze del luogo tra cui un percorso nella foresta vergine tra le liane sulla cime degli alberi a 30 metri dal suolo, bellissimo

Got an enlightenment when we visited here. We're just in a state of euphoria by the time we stepped in the woods. No words could describe best this site. Hope this forest would exist forever :)

It has a very good scenery, but the road quite challenging if you are using motot bike. Better you check the weather before you go there. It has ver terible track after rain. But trust me the view is astonishing

Great place to relax and go for a hike through the untouched jungle/rainforest. Amazing views and scenery from the canopy bridge, as well as very nice hiking trails. Some of the trails are however not marked super well so be prepared to search a bit. Bring lots of water of course! Well worth any visit even though it’s quite the drive, definitely recommended!

Great experience! This is a best place for us to love nature more than ever. You need to walk more than 500 meters from receptionist to canopy bridge. The bridge is very high and i really don't recommended for who have a phobia with it (i forgot what it's called, i hope y'all know what i mean). The view of forest is really nice and beautiful from above. There's also a game like flying fox, climbing, and more!! Hope you enjoy it too.

Exploring n experiencing yourself a natural reserve of borneo's bio diversity hardly found anywhere else... highly recom when visit balikpapan ... it is the gateway to the thrilling canopy bridge ...

Nice area to stop for a coffee a meal and the wonder around in the forest. The canopy bridge allows to take nice photos. Unfortunately no so many animals around.

(Translated by Google) 3 times visited, always wanted to come back. For those who want to test their adrenaline, they are suitable for trying, when the suspension bridge hits the wind it feels like they are flying. the pokos that have not visited must be mandatory yes :) (Original) 3 kali berkunjung, selalu ingin kembali. buat yang ingin menguji adrenalin cocok dcoba, pas lagi djembatan gantungnya kena angin lewat berasa ikut terbang. pokonya yang belum berkunjung kudu wajib ya :)

I recently had the opportunity to explore the stunning beauty of the Bangkirai Hills and I must say it was an unforgettable experience. Nestled in the heart of nature, the National Forest offers a serene and awe-inspiring environment that is a true haven for outdoor enthusiasts. One of the things that struck me about the Bangkirai Hills is its vastness. Spanning over miles and miles of lush greenery, it provides a sense of tranquility and escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. The forest is well-preserved and teeming with a diverse range of flora and fauna. Walking through its trails, I was captivated by the towering trees, vibrant wildflowers, and the symphony of birdsong.

bangkirai hills balikpapan, this tour offers the charm of an unspoiled tropical rainforest, which is equipped with tourist facilities and infrastructure such as restaurants, lamin for meetings, swimming pools, as well as cottages and jungle cabins. In this area there is a 64 m long canopy bridge strung connecting 5 Bangkirai trees at a height of 30 m.

A breathtaking exploration of the rainforest! Treetop bridges are fun and scary, but worth the views. We have yet to explore the other activities like flying fox and ropewalk, but are sure to return for more. A great destination for the family, and they have a small cafe, large musholla, as well as cabins to stay the night. My only caution would be don't go on a rainy day, as the roads are slippery and you can get trapped by falling trees. Bring a vehicle with decent ground clearance, like a Toyota Avanza or Fortuner.

(Translated by Google) Really cool place (Original) Keren banget tempatnya

Beautiful forest and view, lucky to see monkeys! I will back here for sure 😊🙏🏻 🌲🌳🍃☀️🌈🐵

Safe and wonderful canopy tour with an English speaking guide, allowing you to have a fantastic overview on the forest and also excellent for birds and monkeys observation. We also made 1 hour trek in the lushy jungle; we were lucky as we saw the beautiful maroon leaf monkeys Interestingly, at that place, I also made a 2 hour trek during the night with a ranger and we saw different mammals (civets,...), owls and tarentule. Highly recommended Also, close to that place, make a boat trip with a local fisherman on the black river, where you’ll see probiotic monkeys with their huge nose +++
