Taman Tumbina Bintulu

It's unique and the first of its kind in Sarawak, an integration of a botanical and zoological garden into a living garden of plants and animals! Taman Tumbina Bintulu offers the best single location in Bintulu for locals and visitors alike to catch a glimpse of the diversity of the flora and fauna of the largest state of Malaysia.

Strategically located on a hilly site overlooking the South China Sea, this 57-hectare garden has been one of the main attractions of the booming gas town since it started operations in 1991. Over the years, Tumbina has captivated visitors from far and near with its diverse collection of plants and animals. Among the major attractions is the Butterfly World where a variety of butterflies could be viewed in a specially built enclosure. As Sarawak is blessed with vast quantities of orchids, the garden's Orchid Collection, considered the largest of its kind in the northern region where both local and hybrid species are found, is a place not to be missed! Reptilian such as crocodiles, snakes and tortoises abound in the garden's Reptile Complex where the largest collection of the longest snakes exhibited in Sarawak was held. Another major attraction here is the Walk-in Aviary. Presently the biggest in Sarawak where the majestic hornbill to the small humming birds thrills visitors with their melodious calls and distinct songs.
