Sarawak Day trips

Departing from Kuching city at 7:00 AM, a 30-40 minute drive will take you to the pier for Bako National Park. From the pier, a 10-15 minute boat ride will bring you to Bako National Park itself. Inside the park, you can see wildlife such as monkeys, wild boars, and venomous snakes up close. The tour starts at 7:00 AM and runs until 2:00 PM. The walking portion through the forest is quite long, so it might be challenging for the elderly or those with limited mobility. We recommend getting plenty of rest the day before joining the tour. Our tour guides are highly professional, providing detailed explanations and ample safety instructions to ensure a secure wildlife observation experience, so you can participate with peace of mind. While many visitors to Kuching also explore places like the Sarawak Cultural Village and Semenggoh Wildlife Centre, the highlight of Kuching is truly Bako National Park. Although it's not the cheapest option, it's an experience you absolutely shouldn't miss. Finally, be sure to bring mosquito repellent to avoid mosquito bites.

recommended to sign up for the tour. the tour package includes the return transfer from hotel within designated area to site, the admission ticket, and the return buggy ride within the park. the tour guide also gave useful tips.

We had a wonderful experience at Sarawak Cultural Village. Our tour guide, Jacky, was professional, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. He guided us through each of the traditional Sarawak houses, sharing fascinating insights into their history, architecture, and unique cultural heritage. His engaging explanations made the visit both enjoyable and educational. We were warmly welcomed with a traditional cultural dance, which created a wonderful first impression. The stage performances were vibrant, entertaining, and showcased the rich diversity of Sarawak’s ethnic communities with great talent and energy. Highly recommend it to anyone visiting Kuching - it is an experience not to be missed!

Our guide, Din (spelling questionable) was outstanding and really helped us have the best experience possible. He was so knowledgeable and well prepared in every facet of the tour. We saw a great variety of flora and fauna as well as learned about the environment and culture of the local people. The accommodations and food at the park are not fancy but they are comfortable and adequate. The park should screen in the back bathroom area of the cabins. Our trip to Bako was the pinnacle of our experience in Sarawak.

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

Went for a Kuching walking tour, guided by Drika and had a very insightful experience! We walked through all the main heritage trails, and learned about the history of Sarawak, the Brooke family and reign, as well as the overall society and culture of Sarawak. We also stopped for a little lunch at La Tanza Cafe, that served satay and refreshing drinks, to cool down from the hot weather (bring your hats!!). I would recommend this walking tour, and thank you to Drika for being such a knowledgeable and fun tour guide!! 10/10 would recommend Drika as a tour guide as well!

Seeing semi-wild orangutans were the highlight of our trip. The viewing experience of these magnificent animals roaming free is unlike your traditional zoo. Our guide, Mr Mas, is superb at finding and spotting all the various species in the caves. He was extremely eager to explain the biodiversity and terrain in there. You can tell that he is genuinely passionate about animals and nature. The joy of having such a passionate guide is contagious. He got all of us excited and very naturally bonded us as a group. Highly recommend this tour if you are looking for a unique experience of Broneo’s nature.

The tour was well arranged and we managed to get a private car to ourselves since no other people. managed to spot crocodiles and the elusive irrawady dolphins in the morning cruise.

That was a well organised and very enjoyable tour. Billie, the guide, was quite knowledgeable and adjusted the itinerary and the food tasting to my needs. I learned a lot about kuching and the food and had a great time.
