Sarawak Sea Stack Picture

This Sarawak Sea Stack is my picture of the week, as this is uniquely one of Sarawak's most iconic natural landmarks.

During the many times that I have visited the Bako National Park, I will always see the Cobra Sea Stack before arriving at the park entrance.

Update 13 February 2024 - In recent news dated 12 Feb, the iconic Cobra Sea Stack at Bako National Park has collapsed. This comes as shocking news to Sarawakians and even me, as I have visited this place several times in the last decade.

Sarawak Sea Stack

Sarawak Cobra Sea Stack

The sea stack is naturally formed over millions of years and is truly a wonder of Sarawak, where it resembles the shape of a hooded cobra sticking out of the water.

The high tide is the best time to see this, as when the tide is low, the boats are unable to pass through the main sea stack area.

When you visit Bako National Park, you need to take the boat from the jetty at Kampung Bako, which is a local Malay fishing village located about one hour from Kuching city.

Among the many attractions besides the national park here, you will see the famous Mount Santubong in the distance while various rock formations of animals can be seen around the sea stack. 

For those who are seeking some Eco, Rainforest, Culture and Nature Adventures, Sarawak holds many interesting places to visit, but you need time to do these.

And for those planning to visit Sarawak, the recommended length of stay here is a minimum of five days.

There are many travel or tour companies in Kuching that offer day trips to the national park and also overnight trips. You can find them around Kuching city, and usually, they depart in the morning.

Conclusion

If you are a photographer or just a curious traveller like me, I recommend visiting Bako National Park to see this unique rock formation in the sea.

My trip here was one of many with Borneo Adventure and Travel Holiday as they make day trips to Bako National Park.

In general, all the tour operators will have this in their itinerary to see the magnificent Sarawak Sea Stack, which is beautifully created by Mother Nature.
