Matang Mangrove Forest Reserve Eco Park - Kuala Sepetang, Perak

This place needs a lot of revamping. All the signs are faded, still signs from 2016 events up and lots of the boards are broken. Nice forest scenery but an experience you want to finish quickly

The place is tranquil. Not many animals you can see here only tiny crabs. The sound of the mangrove forest is so soothing. Early morning is recommended. Walking trails are not maintained well. Watch your steps. Per person RM5 and parking RM2. Overall a nice experience.

Had a good afternoon walk here while visiting Kuala Sepatang for Lunch.

Some of the largest mangrove trees I have ever seen in my life with a wide walkway build over the swampy ground for visitors to walk through. You get totally immersed into the environment surrounded by plenty of bird and insect sounds. We saw plenty of squirrels, birds, mudskippers and butterflies on this visit.

Maintenance could be a little better with some of the floorboards broken or missing, but otherwise everything is in decent shape. Sadly, there was some rubbish thrown down into the swampy area, and I do hope future visitors behave appropriately and refrain from throwing rubbish. Also, the authorities in charge should take a bit more effort to pick up any rubbish visible from the path at the very least.

But definitely worth a visit overall. Entrance Fee's are RM5 for adults plus RM2 for parking of which there is plenty. I believe there is also a special price for seniors 60 years old and above.

Take your time here and you will see and hear so much birds, amazing. Also, really nice and funny staff. We went on a weekday, it was not busy at all, but maybe that was because of rammadan. The forest is nicely kept, the boardwalk is very clean.

從太平坐 GRAB 就可以到, 鳥類不少,很值得逛逛 , 不過回程叫不到車, 需要坐 Blue Bus 回太平.

A must-visit place when you are travelling in taiping. There are a lot of living creatures that can be spotted apart from crabs. But you must visit in the EARLY MORNING at around 8-9am (it opens at 8am), when there are a few visitors. Keep your voice down, walking down the wooden walkways quietly, you will be surprised with how many creatures you could find.

We were lucky to see squirrel, giant mudskippers, monitor lizard, monkey, common flameback woodpeckers, butterflies, dragonflies, tit ,tailor bird, fan-tail and other birds(don't know the name). A good place for bird watching.

With only RM5 for adult, RM 2 for children below 18 years old, you could spent few hours admiring the tranquility and the beauty of mangrove trees. Morover, it is free for children under 6 and senior citizen above 60. Parking fee is RM 2 per entry.

It is advisable to bring insect repellent. there are mosquitoes in the park. No sunblock and umbrella needed as the mangrove trees provide enough shade.

Great walk around the mangrove forest. Great knowledge received. Walk up to 1.2km. If you are planning go for morning walk.

Besides, take the cruise to look at the roots much closer, eagle feeding and birdwatching
