The main attraction for most people and well worth the 1.5km walk from the Park Centre on our 2nd day. You need to register, show your park entry permit and pay additional RM5 to enter the Walk. The first day we came it was on a Friday which is the only day of the week the Walk is closed. The Canopy Walk is one way and the entrance is on the shorter 470m route when you reach a junction showing 2 routes to the Canopy Walk.
It's okay. Cheap thrill walking through the trees. It didn't feel very long and didn't see any wildlife. The walk doesn't open until 9:00am so don't bother going too early like I did. Had to wait until about 9:20am for them to 'open shop' and use a blower on the walkway. The loud petrol blower is probably why I didn't see any wildlife 🤪
This is a throw back review when we were at the National Park in 2023. Currently in October 2025, the canopy walkway is still under maintenance. After the trek to Terisik Hill, on the way down we went to the canopy walk before going back to our chalet to rest. The canopy walk is a good experience. It seemed like walking among the trees, high up in the air. Hopefully the maintenance of the Canopy Walkway can be completed soon so as to give the visitors the opportunity to have this unique experience.
Really beautiful on the walk we even saw some monkeys. That being said the wait is 2-3 hours on weekends because they can only have a few people on at a time. You always have someone 10 meters behind you so you can't really enjoy the walk. If you are scared of heights or wobbly bridges skip this one. You can only take photos on the platform. My advice: Don't go on weekends or school holidays must consider ( Malaysian public holidays, Muslim holidays, Chinese holidays, Hindu Holidays, European, Asia and America's holidays) If you do go during one of these times go to the canopy walk right when it opens to be the first in line or around 2pm right before it closes. The walk only takes about 20 mins despite waiting for 2+ hours.
Great experience, nice view. Long walk and freshly feel of nature. But it can be packed if you come during the weekend. It is because they limit the amount of tourists to use this walk. Need to come early otherwise you will need to wait in a long queue.
Crowded during the weekend and public holidays. Recommended to hike Terisek hill prior to canopy walk to avoid the crowd in canopy walk. Do come as early as you can.
This suspension bridge is built 530 meters long and 40 meter above ground level is one of the main attractions for local and international tourists to Taman Negara. Located about 1.7 km from Wildlife HQ, you can reach the site, 20 – 45 min trekking. Open daily from 10:00am to 4:00pm however closed on the raining day.
Just did the Canopy Walkway at Kuala Tahan National Park, and it’s an easy 5/5! It’s a unique way to see the rainforest from above. Paying is hassle-free - either 5RM on the spot or at the park office. I walked it alone for a more personal experience, though it can get busy with tours. A must-try for a mix of tranquility and adventure!
