Bukit Bangkirai is located 58 km north-west of Balikpapan. Here, we can enter the dense of tropical rain forest. Even though there are many wild life potentials in it, we are hardly to see them in instance.

The main attraction here is the Canopy Bridge which is very famous in East Borneo. It was originally built for biological study of the ecosystem in the canopy of the tropical rain forest. However, it is popular for public to sight-seeing the beauty of tropical rain forest from 30 m / 90 ft above the ground.
