Sarawak Tours

Highly educational and enjoyable tour, recommended. Easy to moderately difficult hiking, memorable photos. Malindo from Ooo Haa Adventure Tours was a very humorous guide & speaks fluent English. He fetched us from our hotel near Waterfront at 7.30am. [Btw, he can also pick up from airport but additional charge may apply. Can leave luggages in his van.] Our tour was flexible as the group only consists of 5 people. We didn’t manage to see any Proboscis monkey but we spotted many other wild life and plants. We even had a nibbling fish experience. Buffet lunch by only canteen was just edible. This Klook deal is cheaper than elsewhere, even after we include any additional tips for an additional one-way boat ride to skip return trip of a difficult trail (MYR50 for whole boat, can share) and for the guide as we liked his service. The additional boat ride brought us to coastal walks which we otherwise won’t explore via trails, so it’s worth. At low tide, take off shoes & wade to board boat.

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.

An amazing place where culture, history, and nature come together. Walking through the traditional houses and learning about the different ethnic groups was fascinating. The setting itself is stunning, and the cultural show was the highlight. Highly recommended.

We absolutely loved our excursion to Satang Island and its surroundings. The team of guides and boat operators were all wonderful and dedicated to ensuring we enjoyed our trip. The activities were varied (crocodile and dolphin watching, snorkeling, visiting Satang Beach, explanations about turtle nesting). It was truly interesting, I highly recommend it. Guide:

our guide Lucian was the best. he was warm and very knowledgeable. the tour and experience was great

the guide Mas was very informative and shared about the history of the places we went. The lunch provided at the longhouse was authentic and the hosts were friendly. Highly recommended for this tour.

This is a tricky review. First of all, the company and especially Den our guide were first rate excellent and we would recommend them completely. However, that said, the actual treks to look for animals was pretty underwhelming as you basically walked for maybe 1 km on walkways and hardly penetrate the actual. jungle. Our guide was excellent in explaining the different fauna and flora and we did see Silver Leaf and Proboscis monkeys, a green viper, a frog and a poisonous worm. No crocs and pics of monkeys were very hard to get clearly unless you had pro level kit. But the worse part was the accomodation: we imagined that we would be trekking someway into the jungle to stay in some kind of lodge but in reality we were in a block house just behind the entrance centre 100m from the beach. Our room was just about functional with a mattress on the floor, a fridge, 2 fans and a lot of mould on the walls. It was not the best night's sleep. Food at the centre was good though.

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.

It was an enjoyable and informative trip, thanks to our knowledgeable guide. We even learned some hidden stories from the White Rajah era.
