The pickup from the hotel was on time. Good and safe driving. The guide was providing information along the way. The guide was entertaining. The pilot of the boat was good, safe driving. He took us to many different places. The guide explained what we were seeing along the way. We were able to spot a crocodile and get very close and many dolphins. The guide provided food and plenty of drinks throughout the cruise. Answering our questions whenever we add some

Picture this: Irrawwady dolphins, big saltwater crocodiles, beautiful mangroves, eagles and tropical paradise. Yeah, it was fabulous and so much underrated. So, we hopped on the boat and went into the wetlands. First off, dolphins stole the show. These guys were playing with their food and swimming in groups close to the boat, just a stone's throw away. And guess what? Saltwater crocs were chilling on the riverbanks. But don't worry, we kept a safe distance! But don’t touch the water with these big guys in the area. They really love meat. But wait, there's more. Eagles soaring high above, doing their thing. And we even swung by Satang Island – pure paradise vibes. Oh, and turtles! Cute little guys popping up, saying a quick hello. It was like they knew we were on a mission to witness the best of Kuching's wildlife. To finish the trip, we went snorkeling next to Satang Island. Satang Island is not part of this tour, but we were invited to join a group that booked Satang Island as well. What a gift! In a nutshell, if you're into nature, wildlife, and good times, this dolphin watching mangrove cruise is a must-do when you are in Kuching. It's like a mini adventure for the soul. Highly recommend!

An Enchanting Adventure: Dolphin Watching Mangrove Cruise in Kuching Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5 stars) If you find yourself in Kuching, Malaysia, a Dolphin Watching Mangrove Cruise is an absolute must-do for nature enthusiasts and adventure seekers alike. I had the pleasure of experiencing this remarkable journey, and I can honestly say it was a highlight of my trip. From the moment the cruise began, I knew I was in for a treat. The tranquil waters of the Sarawak River, flanked by lush mangrove forests, created a serene ambiance that immediately whisked away any lingering stress. The tour guides were knowledgeable and passionate, offering intriguing insights into the local ecosystem and the significance of preserving this delicate environment. The true magic, however, began when we spotted the dolphins. These graceful creatures effortlessly glided through the water, their playful antics leaving us in awe. The tour operators showed the utmost respect for the dolphins' natural habitat, maintaining a respectful distance to ensure we didn't disturb them. It was an incredible sight to witness these beautiful marine mammals in their natural element, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude for being a part of this experience. As the cruise continued, we navigated through the winding waterways of the mangrove forest. The diverse array of wildlife was simply astonishing – from colorful birds darting through the canopy to majestic monitor lizards sunbathing on the riverbanks. The boat meandered through dense mangroves, and the symphony of nature's sounds engulfed us in its harmony. The highlight of the trip was undoubtedly the breathtaking sunset. As the golden hues painted the sky, it cast a spell on the entire scene, creating an ethereal atmosphere that will forever be etched in my memory. Kuching's Dolphin Watching Mangrove Cruise is an experience like no other. It's not just a chance to witness dolphins in their natural habitat but an opportunity to connect with nature on a profound level. The tour operators' commitment to responsible tourism and conservation efforts is commendable, ensuring that future generations will have the same privilege of witnessing this wondrous spectacle. I highly recommend the Dolphin Watching Mangrove Cruise to anyone visiting Kuching. Whether you're a nature lover, a wildlife enthusiast, or simply seeking an unforgettable adventure, this cruise will leave you with cherished memories and a deep appreciation for the wonders of our planet's biodiversity. Don't miss this enchanting opportunity to experience the beauty of Kuching's mangroves and the awe-inspiring dolphins that call it home.

The entrie experience was great. Beginning with the booking process, it was seamless. On the day of the tour, the driver came on time to our AirBnB. Not only was the driver safe, couteous and professional, he was also knowledgeable on the national parks and various topics on wild life. The drive to the delta area where the dolphin watching took place was about an hour, and the route was totally scenic! Then we hopped onto a boat and the dolphin watching began. The boatman was very skillful, he would maneuver the boat to the dolphins as close as possible so we could get a good shot of photos. After dolphin watching, we proceeded to the Kuching Wetlands National Park which we observed other wild lifes. The national park was pristine and transquil, with a feeling of peace and free of disturbance. We felt refreshed. On the way back to Kuching City, we were given packed lunch as well. Overall, it was a great experience and absolutely worth it, imho.

This tour has been full of surprises, and only good ones! While we were going with the expectation of seeing mostly dolphins, the highlight of it has been to witness so many proboscis monkeys in the wild! They were few big males eating, and they were impressive! On top of that, we also saw a couple of crocodiles and few dolphins… so really nice! The guide and the boatman were really professional and really nice, sharing with us many stories.

I was on a morning cruise 21 October, and I'm absolutely thrilled!!! A million thanks to our guide and boat crew, guys, you're the best! We managed to see dolphins, huge jellyfish, long-nosed monkeys, and my dream of seeing a crocodile came true - I saw two of them, one of them is a very big female, the guide says he's seeing one that large in this area for the first time. Boatman is simply a true expert at finding crocodiles; how he locates them is a mystery 😃. And the guide tells a lot of interesting stories. Overall, I'm in complete delight and gratitude to the best team. The organization is top-notch too; they contacted me beforehand, arranged the meeting time, and the car arrived on time in the morning, no delays. In short, if you're hesitating, stop and book the tour right now; it's definitely worth it.

Amazing and unforgettable experience. We were able to see Irrawaddy dolphins, crocodiles, and a family of proboscis monkeys during the tour. The guide, Mr. Saini was very knowledgeable and the boatman, Mr. Wan Amin had spot-on vision. Both made us feel welcome and it was so much fun out in the river and mangroves. Highly recommended!

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.
