Poring’s canopy skywalk invites you to witness the grandeur and glory of a 100 million year old rainforest from a 105 metres length walkway suspended 30 metres above unspoiled flora. Besides the various nature trails snaking through both the forest floor and amidst treetops, the park also features a beautifully landscaped garden hosting Poring’s best known tonic for mind and body— mineral-rich hot-springs bubbling from deep in the earth. Additionally, you may explore other attractions such as the Butterfly Farm and Tropical Garden, at your own expenses.
