Royal Mulu Resort Boardwalk

0
(0)
The Royal Mulu Resort Boardwalk is a peaceful wooden walkway running along the Melinau River near Royal Mulu Resort in Gunung Mulu National Park, Sarawak, Malaysia. This boardwalk offers visitors a relaxing nature walk surrounded by rainforest scenery, river views, and occasional wildlife sightings. It is ideal for casual walks, photography, and unwinding after a day of exploration.

What to See & Do

  • 🌊 Enjoy a relaxed walk along the Melinau River as it flows through the heart of the national park 🛶
  • 🌿 Observe rainforest plants including wild gingers and majestic ferns, with occasional sightings of long-tailed macaques 🐒
  • 📸 Photography of river reflections where the dense green canopy meets the tea-colored waters of the Melinau 🤳
  • 🌅 Sunrise and sunset viewing along the boardwalk provide a magical play of light through the ancient tree trunks 🌤️
  • 🦇 Watch the Bat Exodus from a distance; guests at the resort can often see the dark ribbons of bats from the pool deck or riverside bar 🍸

How to Get There

  • 🏨 Located next to the Mulu Marriott Resort & Spa (the rebranded and renovated Royal Mulu Resort) 📍
  • 👣 Short walk or shuttle ride to Gunung Mulu National Park headquarters, which is approximately 1.5 km away 🗺️
  • 🚶 Accessible on foot from nearby accommodations; the resort is built on 3-meter high stilts connected by these walkways 🏗️
  • 🛥️ Reach the resort via a 5-minute complimentary shuttle from Mulu Airport (MZV) or a scenic boat ride from the Park HQ 🛶
  • ✈️ Fly into Mulu from Miri, Kuching, or Kota Kinabalu via MASwings to access this remote river destination 🛩️

Travel Tips

  • 👟 Wear comfortable walking shoes or sandals with a good grip, as the wooden planks can become very slick after rain 🌦️
  • 🎒 Bring a camera and binoculars; the boardwalk height puts you closer to mid-story birds like Kingfishers and Sunbirds 🦜
  • ⛈️ Be cautious during rainy conditions; the Melinau River can rise quickly, and the wooden path may have damp patches 🌊
  • 🤫 Keep noise low to observe wildlife; morning walkers are often rewarded with sightings of pygmy squirrels and lizards 🦎
  • 🦟 Apply insect repellent even for short walks, as the riverside location is a favorite spot for Mulu’s active mosquitoes 🧴

  • 07:00 AM – Morning walk along the boardwalk to hear the “dawn chorus” of birds and gibbons 🐒
