Canopy Walk in Batang Ai, Sarawak is located just behind the one of a kind Longhouse Hilton in this beautiful national park. Guest of the hotel would usually make a trip here as part of the many activities so if you plan on visiting this canopy walk, you should make your booking to spend a night here. The
journey to the Canopy Walk or Sky Walk is also quite interesting with fascinating encounters of
rainforest flora and fauna along the way. On reaching the start point,
it looks pretty steady and non frightening. But this is only the
beginning with still a long way to go, that is about 130 meters in
length of the total canopy walk.
Starting point of the canopy walk
At
the highest point, the canopy walk is about 30 meters (100 feet) above
ground level. For those with a fear of heights, please take note - do
not look down. And the general rule of the canopy walk is that you
should walk one by one with a gap of about 3 meters front and back. At
any one time, each flight of the canopy walk can take up to two or three
people. But check with your local guide when walking.
Canopy walk lookout point to the Batang Ai Lake
The Batang Ai canopy walk is slightly different from most other canopy walks as it is divided at one point where you see the Batang Ai Lake on the right and a lush rainforest
on your left. There is also a nice lookout point at one part of the the
canopy stations. This is where they connect from one tree to another.
End of the road. Can you see me in in the picture?
For those who are into these kind of adventures, check out my Canopy Walk at Mulu Park in Sarawak and also the Canopy Walk at RDC in Sabah.
At
the end of the canopy walk, it is a steep climb down. Some of the
wooden stairs are worn and one must be careful. I hope that it has been fixed after all this while. Anyway, if you wish to visit this place, you would have to stay here at the Hilton Longhouse in Batang Ai as the journey here from Kuching takes about 4-5 hours by van or car and this is only one way. There are longhouse visits, jungle trekking and town visits apart from the Canopy Walk in Batang Ai, Sarawak.

Shazia - Book a Hilton Longhouse package then can just take a walk behind to the canopy walk.
