Poring Canopy Walkway — Attraction in Borneo

The weather was good, we hike through 500m on uneven walks and steps to arrive a Rest Area. , But need to climb up for another 150m, to reach the Canopy Walk. A ticket collector sits at the entrance before the Canopy. The signage strongly indicate only 6 pax are allowed to walk on each canopy.

Imagine the thrill of being 300 metres above the ground, walking through these electrifying canopies, a dizzying height for some who are afraid of “Height” and especially when it sways abit, but it is tied with ropes and the bridge is relatively firm and stable.

Take note there is no restrooms during the climb up or down. You need to use it before the climb up either at the Tickets counter or near the...

Please bring a set of clean clothes to shower after completing this climb!!!

There are six bridges to transverse and once you are done you have to climb downhill towards the hot springs. Journey can take 20 minutes to an hour plus for the climb up and down if...

I had a lot fun at the Poring Canopy Walk. The trek to the starting tower was quite an effort. The canopy walk are ropes and steel cables suspension bridges hanging from the tallest trees. You would be walking on wooden planks. Netting provides safety on both sides of the plank upward. The walk wasn't too wobbly unless there is a few people on the same walkway. The walk is about 35(?)m above the jungle floor.

The view was spectacular. While the canopy walk presents an opportunity to observe the creatures along the jungle floor it was hard to keep looking downward without getting dizzy. A must visit section of the Poring...
