JUNGLE TREKKING

A network of trails winds through Pulau Babi Besar’s interior, leading trekkers to elevated vantage points with panoramic sea views. Along the way, you may spot native flora such as rattan palms and wild orchids, and fauna like macaques and hornbills. To fully appreciate the jungle’s hidden gems and ensure safety, it is highly recommended to join a guided trek led by local experts. These guides possess intimate knowledge of the island’s flora and fauna, helping trekkers spot wildlife such as playful monkeys, colorful birds, and monitor lizards that might otherwise go unnoticed. They also share fascinating insights into the ecosystem, local history, and legends, enriching the trekking experience.

Popular routes include moderate hikes like the trail from Teluk Keke to Arwana Beach, which offers coastal views and opportunities for wildlife sightings. For those seeking a more demanding adventure, guides can lead you deep into the island’s interior along unmarked paths, revealing secluded waterfalls, scenic viewpoints, and unique ecosystems. Essential preparation for jungle trekking includes wearing sturdy hiking shoes, long breathable clothing, insect repellent, and carrying sufficient water and sun protection due to the humid and uneven terrain. Whether you embark on a family-friendly nature walk or an advanced jungle expedition, trekking on Pulau Babi Besar promises a safe, educational, and unforgettable exploration of the island’s pristine rainforest environment.
