Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Bay
Telok Assam, Bako
Telok Assam borders the reception area of Bako Park between forest, beach and coastal areas. Landings and movements must follow the instructions of the park according to the tides.
Beach
Telok Pandan Kecil
Telok Pandan Kecil combines a cove with rock formations on the Bako coast. The possibilities of access by foot or boat and the viewpoints are verified from the park.
Mangrove
Bako mangroves
Bako’s mangroves show the transition between forest and tidal habitats. Use open boardwalks and paths, without feeding or approaching animals. The map marker is the visitor centre, where open mangrove areas can be confirmed.
