Rivers and Waterfalls by Boat

Taman Negara is a trekker’s paradise, but the many-flowing rivers that wander through the national park offer visitors the chance to explore the region from the water. A boat cruise along the Tahan River at a leisurely pace, leads you to the cascading rapids at Lata Berkoh. Along the way, you can greet the local inhabitants from the water: water buffalo, macaques, giant squirrels, hornbills and pittas, just to name a few.

At Lata Berkoh, you c0uld take a dip in the Gunung Tahan spring if you wish and admire the “natural Jacuzzi” formed by the rocks around the cascade. The boat journey continues on to the Ikan Kelah Fish Sanctuary, where you have the opportunity to hand-feed the freshwater fish en masse.
