Canopy Bridge is one of the interesting place to see in balikpapan, however it is a nice forest processed become a tourism area. Located approx. 45 kms from the heart of balikpapan. if you like to see the nature u may come to this area, you'll find plenty of old and big trees name "canopy"(more than 100 y.o) also difference smell of the trees. (have you ever smell the garlic tree smell ?? it's only in there ...) the most interesting is... there are bridges called "canopy bridge", which is hi more than 100's m and we can step easily and walking from one tree to other trees. so,... who wants to make an outbound events ? ;)

While the city has only about 500,000 people it is very well developed and has lots of great amenities. This is because it is an oil/gas/coal/timber town! The hotels are excellent for such a sized city. The roads are great. The location is by the beach and an interesting Buginese fishing village just off the center of town provides a way to look at wider ranges of lifestyles. The city is just a brief drive from the forested areas. You can still find some interesting Dayak cultural experiences. One of my favorite cities in Indonesia.
