The Kissing Rocks

The Kissing Rocks are a local attraction located in Mabaruma, the administrative capital of the sub-district.

The hike from the main road of Mabaruma to the Kissing Rocks takes approximately 45 minutes by foot. During this hike it's likely that you'll hear and perhaps even spot some monkeys climbing in the trees surrounding the path. Once there you can cool down in the river or climb onto and around the rocks.

It is said that each person of a couple would stand on one rock and lean to try to kiss their partner... If they could reach it meant that their relationship would be a successful one. There are other stories, tales and myths associated with the Kissing Rocks.
