Kubah National Park is one of the most easily accessible park in Kuching, just under an hour drive away on the way to the Matang hills. There is no scheduled bus service to the park, and the nearest bus stops at a road junction which require an hour or so on foot to each the entrance, so the only option is by cab or hired car, but the location is not hard to find.
There are several walking trails, and the Waterfall Trail is the most popular. It is a 1 1/2 hour trekking (one way) through the rainforest though the trail is well marked and many stretches are by plank walk. The trail is easy to negotiate as there is not much gradient, where there are, steps are provided and on the steep climb at the approach to the waterfalls, wooden stairs/steps are provided.
The waterfall is about 20 feet high and falls into a big pool and cascade to a series of big boulders with smaller pools along the way. The water is cool and refreshing and is an excellent place for a swim and picnic. Part of the flat rock surface can be slippery during rainy season as they are moss covered.
