Things to do in Sarawak

convenient to purchase in klook and easy to redeem once you reach the cruise desk. the royal kuching cruise boat is really nice, the lower deck has glass window from floor to ceiling so you’re able to see the river even when you’re seated. all the performances are in the upper deck so you need to go up to watch it. recommended to try especially for tourists like us.

didn’t regret and the price is affordable. I recommend but don’t get hopes up about dolphins. please have mics for the tour guide! pity! They are straining their voice!

A truly relaxing and beautiful experience. Watching the sunset over the Sarawak River while cruising past the city landmarks was magical. The atmosphere was calm, the views were stunning, and it was a perfect way to unwind in the evening.

Thanks to en mas and en amin our guide and boat captain. Had a great time and felt safe. No promise for spotting wildlife but we were lucky to see crocodile, proboscis moneys and several dolphins, despite this being the monsoon season. Best time would be may to August it seems. Thrilling speedboat ride for the kids and scenery was nice.

The weather is really bad, thunderstorms and lightning. We thought that we would not be able to see the animals in this trip. However, our tour guide, Mr. Hamdini, is very experienced and knowledgeable on where to find the Proboscis monkey. As it was raining, he went to scout for the animals, while keeping us safe in the shelter.. Once, he found the monkeys, he came and brought us to the spot. We managed to see a few groups of Proboscis monkeys, male, female and the juvenile monkeys. We also saw the bearded pig and flying lemur. Thumb up for Mr. Hamdini our guide.

Unfortunately, it's fruit season in this park until the end of March or even mid-April, so the orangutans don't come to the feeding station. However, the guide, Mr. Mas Daud, suggested an alternative: another wildlife park, about an hour from Kuching. However, the animals there are in enclosures, as it's a rescue center and each animal has had a less-than-pleasant past. But I saw a lot on the circular route of about an hour. The guide was simply sensational, explained a lot, and when he knew that I was also interested in small animals, he stopped everywhere and showed me some that I, as a tourist, wouldn't have seen at all. All in all, a perfect afternoon tour, highly recommended.

The trip was enriching and exciting. First hand experience at blow darting and trying out the different delicacies. Note: bring lots of small change of RM5 so that you can purchase the different delicacies at the different houses. Our guide, Mr Yusof was very informative! Oh, we also spotted Silver Langurs at the area. The performance at the theatre was so good!

We were picked up at our hotel right on time by the very friendly guide Mas Daud and a driver (didn’t catch his name). The drive to Gunung Gading National Park took about 1.5 hours. We were greeted at the Park by Antonia, a freelance park guide. You can tell Antonia is passionate about her job and equally passionate about all the plants in the forest. We were regaled with information about the various plants and flowers we saw off the trail. And most important of all, we saw a fully bloomed Rafflesia!! It appears Antonia keeps track of all the Rafflesia buds and has perfect knowledge of the probability when these very elusive and beautiful flowers will bloom. She was able to point out numerous other Rafflesia buds which we wouldn’t have spotted at all. Be sure to request for the very friendly and very knowledgeable Antonia if you fancy catching sight of the beautiful Rafflesia when you are visiting the Gunung Gading National Park.

Really enjoyable experience to have a very knowledgeable and friendly tour guide Saini who was able to explain the sightings during the journey in the cave. Highly recommended!
