Bako National Park

Bako National Park is a national park in Sarawak's Kuching Division. It is Sarawak's oldest national park, having been established in 1957. It has a land area of 27.27 square kilometers (10.53 square miles) and is located near the point of the Muara Tebas peninsula, at the confluence of the Bako and Kuching rivers. It is around 40 kilometers (25 miles) by car from Kuching. Sandstone erosion over millions of years has resulted in a coastline of towering cliffs, craggy headlands, and expanses of white, sandy coves. Many of the rocky headlands have been sculpted into beautifully shaped sea arches and sea stacks with colorful patterns caused by iron deposition at the base of the cliffs by wave erosion.

The most renowned is designed like a cobra's head and may be seen while taking a boat trip from the headquarters or one of the beaches. Some of these rock formations may be observed as you enter the park from Teluk Assam Beach. The park is only accessible by boat, which takes around 20 minutes from the settlement of Kampung Bako. It is frequently visited as a day excursion from Kuching, but lodging (campground and forestry service bungalows) are provided.
