Things to do in Sarawak

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.

Again, we had the best experience in Sarawak. Went to the Fairy cave, wind cave which are both amazing. and spotted loooots of bats! Thanks to our amazing tour guide and driver Jacky. he really is the best!! Also a food connoiseur. went to lunch with him and he suggested all the must tries while in Sarawak, even for after the tour he suggested great restaurants and even local places we can go to eat. we had the best time, also our last stop was the Semeggoh wildlife and visited the Orangutans. Jacky knows what time do these apes go out eventhough there a 2 hour period of the feeding time, he knows what exactly the time is perfect to go when they are “all” out. Thank you again Jacky! When you go to Sarawak, it is a must to book tours from this company ooo haa and if you can request for Jacky. You will the best trip of your life as he will take care of you from picking you up to dropping you off! Thanks for the experience! we will always remember this ☺️

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!

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.

very worth it but tried to book the 530 slot instead of 730... the boat sailed up and down the sarawak river in the sunset providing many photoops opportunity

Easy to redeem ticket with the sales person there, nice experience with friends to join the sunset cruise to see the Kuching view. We can eat the kek lapis, drink water and enjoy the performance while we wait for the sunset.

We had a fantastic tour with Hans and his captain, who truly lived up to his nickname "Eagle Eye." We saw Irrawaddy dolphins, proboscis monkeys, crocodiles, and fireflies. The tour was very informative and had a good dose of humor. Our children had a lot of fun, and the food on board was delicious. The guides were very considerate of the animals, for example, frequently and promptly turning off the engine to avoid disturbing them. This was very important to us beforehand, as we want to protect nature and not overly disturb the animals with our presence. We found this to be very appropriate and can wholeheartedly recommend the tour.

I took the tour this morning. It featured real jungle clues (unlike Disneyland, etc.), which really made me feel like I had come to Borneo. It was my first time joining, but we were lucky enough to see a crocodile and even dolphins (briefly). The tour guide was extremely kind, and I highly recommend it. Due to the arrangement, a one-day interval might be necessary, but booking locally might be cheaper (though I didn't compare it with booking from Japan).

Really eye opening and fun experience at the caves! There were so many bats and its fascinating to see them up close. We were lucky to spot a black widow spider as well. Mr Jacky, our guide, was just the best, very affable and knowledgeable about wildlife. We also learnt a lot about Kuching culture and got many food recommendations from him.
