Nachtfrösche Tour im Kubah National Park

I came at a time when tourism was still slow, so booked this tour for two even though I was alone. It was entirely worth it! The staff were really friendly and helpful in arranging the tour and making sure I had all the information I needed ahead of time. The guide who took me to the park was very concerned that I was comfortable in the car and shared a lot of information about places I had already been that the other guides didn’t tell me. Kubah Park at night was amazing! The sounds of the crickets, cicadas and frogs was really neat to hear. We also heard a civet cat. Hafiz, the guide in the park was really knowledgeable about all the different types of frogs. He could also spot them at 4-5 meters away, which was helpful because sometimes even when he was pointing right at the frog it took me a few seconds to see it. Without him I probably would have concluded that there were no frogs in the park, but instead we saw 10-12 different types. I’m sure we saw more than 100 frogs total during the tour even a Borneo horned frog. At several point we would be focused on one frog on one leaf only to then realize there were actually 4-5 frogs in the same small area! Most of the frogs were pretty willing to be photographed up close, allowing me to get shots on my phone that look like they could have come from National Geographic. The walk was along a paved road and a wooden walkway around a frog pond. I had been worried about about mosquitos but they weren’t a problem, and the night air was actually cool and refreshing. For a tour I almost didn’t take, I’m really glad I went!

Als es auf der Nachttour mit geringen Erwartungen geregnet hatte, hatte es vor unserer Tour viel Wild gesehen, aber wir sahen mehr als 20 Frösche, eine Pitt Viper und eine Green Tree Snake. Wir haben auch einen Gehörnten Frosch gesehen, mit dem unser Führer Dominic zufrieden sein würde und der sagte, dass sie auch selten sind. Unser Führer Dominic war auch erstaunlich, da er alles durch den Schein der Augen des Tieres erkennen konnte. Er sprach auch darüber, wie sehr er sich für den Dschungel interessierte, der inspirierend war.

This tour is well worth doing. It takes you our into the national park with an amazing guide with the sharpest eyes ever. you spot animals - frogs along the way to a pond and walk around a pond boardwalk. It is informative, fun, and beautiful.
