Mulu Optional Extra Tours
Mulu Canopy Skywalk
Dense vegetation clings to every surface and trees are draped with orchids, ferns and creepers. Insects, lizards and squirrels dash up and down the tree trunks with butterflies and dragonflies adding a burst of colour as they glide by. Peculiar insects buzz past in search of a mate and a wild perfume wafts down from the canopy where tropical flowers bloom.
How do you discover all this and understand why Mulu is one of the World's biodiversity ‘hot-spots’? Try one of our rainforest activities.
Guided tours leave the office daily; the return trip will take approximately 2 hours. Bookings are essential and group sizes are limited to 7.
The Mulu Canopy Skywalk at 480 metres is the longest tree-based walkway in the World. As you walk among the ferns and vines 15 – 25 metres above the forest floor and river you will enjoy this unique opportunity to get closer to the rainforest ‘web of life’

Discover and understand:
- Why there are more birds, squirrels, monkeys and insects found in the forest canopy.
- Why some trees are covered in plants and mosses and others have smooth bare trunks.
- How plants get food and moisture even if they don’t have roots in the soil.
- Why some plants have invited insects to make themselves at home and how others ward them of
Night Walk
The 2km walk winds its way through Kerangas and Lowland Riverine Forest where amazing Pitcher Plants hang in the under-growth and fluorescent fungi glow in the dark. Your Guide will help you discover giant insects that hide among the leaves, frogs calling a mate and show you where Bearded Pigs have recently passed by. If you are lucky and very quiet then you may spot a Moon Rat (not a rat but a beautiful white insectivore) – if he has been there in the last few hours you will certainly smell him.
If it is raining at 7.00pm the tour will be delayed for 30 minutes as early evening showers often pass by quickly. If the tour is then cancelled due to bad weather you can claim a refund from the office on the following morning. Refunds are only available if the tour is cancelled by the guide.
