A walk that connects the wet woodlands to an area brimming with beautiful waterlilies is the perfect spot for a romantic stroll any time of the day. The Monsoon Rainforest path immediately transports the tourists to a time where unspoiled ecosystems are still abundantly found.

The Dam Wall trail conveniently provides tourists with shaded areas and platforms for sightseeing and birdwatching. Another exciting attraction of this amazing reserve is the Pandanus Lookout, a perfect observation point for travelers who wish to stargaze or watch the sun go down.
