Giant Flower Tour in Batu Katak

See one of the rarest flowers on Earth, blooming for only a few days.

Deep in the rainforest of Batu Katak, grow two of the world’s rarest and most extraordinary flowers:
Rafflesia arnoldii, the largest individual flower in the world, which can grow to more than one meter in diameter.
Amorphophallus titanum, known as the Titan Arum. It produces the tallest flowering structure in the world and can grow up to three meters high.

Both species bloom only rarely and remain open for just a few days, making it an incredibly special experience.

You travel by car or scooter to Batu Katak, followed by a walking trek. The walking distance depends on the location of the
flower, as the bloom can appear in different parts of the forest. Along the way, your guide explains the rare blooming process and the surrounding rainforest ecosystem.

After the trek, there is time to cool off with a refreshing swim in a nearby river, the perfect way to end your jungle experience

Important to know

The tour only runs when at least one flower is confirmed to be in bloom (verified one day in advance).
