Spend a day in the lush foothills of Lambir: guided plank walks, orchard tractor rides, light adventure activities and a chance to see true Bornean lowland rainforest — all a short drive from Miri.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The morning air smells like wet earth and citrus as the minivan eases off the coastal road toward the green wall of Lambir Hills. You step from the vehicle into a place where tree trunks thicken into columns and insects thread the understory; a guided plank walk leads you under a canopy that seems to hold its breath between chirps and droplets.

Bring insect repellent
Mosquitoes and small biting insects are common in the understory—apply repellent before the walk and reapply after breaks.
Wear grippy, quick‑dry shoes
Boardwalks can be slippery and jungle trails become muddy after rain; trail runners or light hiking shoes are best.
Hydrate and carry a refillable bottle
The tropical heat and sticky humidity make regular hydration essential—refill at the resort where available.
Time your visit early
Start mornings to avoid midday heat, increase wildlife activity, and get better light for canopy viewing.
Quick‑dry hiking shoes
Provide traction on wet boardwalks and comfort for several hours of walking.
Insect repellent (DEET or picaridin)
Protects against mosquitoes and biting insects common in lowland rainforest.
Refillable water bottle (1–2 L)
Keeps you hydrated in hot, humid conditions; refill points are limited.
Light rain jacket or poncho
Short, heavy showers are frequent—waterproof layers keep you comfortable without overheating.
