First-time birdwatchers in Taman Negara often get very excited about the bird numbers they expect to find in the rainforest environment. However, it should be remembered that birdwacthing is not easy in the dense rainforest and birdwatchers need to be quiet, patient and alert. On trails it is often best to pause for a while and wait quietly for the birds to come to you. A seemingly silent forest can suddenly come to life when a mixed feeding party passes through

Caving

There are many caves (gua in Bahasa Malaysia) in the park. These have mostly been sculptured by underground rivers flowing through limestone outcrops. The caves are home to various bats, racer snakes and insects. Visitors should come prepared with torched and seek the services of a good guide as they are not place to become lost in.
Gua Telinga is located 2.6 kilometres (1.6 miles), within one hour's walk or ten minutes boat trip from Kuala Tahan. The returns walk from the riverbank to the cave take about one hour.
From Kuala Keniam Lodge visitors cab explore the Gua Duan Menari (Cave of the Dancing Leaves), Gua Luas and Gua Kepayang. The caves are located in an isolated area of the park, 2 ½ hours boat ride from Kuala Tahan.

Swimming

There are many good swimming holes in all four access sides to Taman Negara. In Bahasa Malaysia, these are called lubuk, but there are many other parts of the rivers that offer good swimming opportunities. The best swimming rivers on the Pahang side are the tributaries of the Tembeling such as the Tahan, Trenngan, Keniam and Perkai. The waters here are clear despite being slightly brownish and there are swimming holes of varied depths. The rapids at Lata Berkoh are very good for a natural Jacuzzi. Two swimming holes, Lubuk Simpon (20 minutes from Kuala Tahan) and Lubuk Lesong (two hours from Kuala Tahan), both on the Sungai Tahan, are considered the best and most accessible swimming locations.
