With its abundant wildlife, jungle streams, waterfalls, interesting plant life, secluded beaches and trekking trails, Bako National Park offers visitor an excellent introduction to the rainforest of Borneo. Bako is Sarawak's oldest (and smallest!) national park, at the tip of the Muara Tebas peninsula, yet one of the most interesting as it contains almost every type of vegetation found in Borneo. See its carnivorous plants (pitcher plants, sundews, bladderworts). Its most significant feature are secluded coves and rugged rocky headlands with magnificent steep cliffs that overlook the South China Sea. The sea spray, wave action and the wind have also carved out magnificent sea arches and sea stacks at the base of the cliffs, some rearing above the waves like a mighty serpent's head.
