Sarawak

An unforgettable experience at Bako National Park in Malaysia. Our local guide, Mr. Hamdini, a former park ranger in the area and originally from a village within the reserve, was simply exceptional. He knew every corner of the jungle and could identify animals just by their sounds. During the tour, we spotted vipers, macaques, proboscis monkeys, flying lemurs, wild boars, and squirrels. The tour began with a boat ride to the park, and at the end, we sailed along the coast while they explained the geography and fauna of the area. We ended the day in his village, enjoying delicious local food at a typical bar. A dream day, 100% recommended for nature lovers. Just a heads up, it's very hot: be well prepared!

The pickup from the hotel was on time. We ended up being the only ones in the join-in group. The guide provided information all along the driving. He helped us bypass all the q at the center and explained us what to do and what we would be seeing. We saw seven orangutans eating and planes. It was an amazing experience. Highly recommend

our guide Mr. Saini is friendly, professional and have deep understanding of Sarawak culture. we have really good experience with the tour and fun activities before arriving to the main show event. highly recommend tour for anyone to get this tour

The arrangement for the whole trip is seamless. Company contacted us one day before the trip to confirm the the trip and briefed us on meeting time and place. Did not manage to see any dolphin but do spotted a crocodile. Saini the guide mentioned if we came at Jun period we would be able to spot migratory birds. The aun is blazing hot around 10:30am do bring some sunscreen and umbrella!The Lunch is good and tasty. There are four delicious dishes with a drink. The guide walked us thru the cultural village and explained the details in each of the houses belonging to each tribe.

The guide Saini is friendly and knowledgeable. The cultural trip allows us to understand the Sarawak culture better and deeper understanding of the tribe daily activities. This day trip combines the cultural village and orangutan observation which is better for travellers with limited number of days in Kuching. We are lucky to see 4 orangutans. Ruby the orangutan who didn’t appear for months came to the feeding platform. We also saw a young orangutan, Sem, who is old enough to venture out on her own away from her mother. It is advisable to bring portable fans and mosquito repellent as you may stand in hot sun for a couple of hours. There is a washroom at the orangutan observation area. You can choose not to take electric buggy ride and walk from entrance to observation area. Some parts are uphill which may be challenging. We opt for electric buggy ride as we have elderly and children with us. The orangutan shown in the picture is Ruby.

Our driver Mr Yusuf was very friendly and told many stories gave us lots of infos during our trip on local culture etc. Then Antonia at the park was outsanding, she spoted many interesting insects etc, we managed to see 3 of the life cycle stages from the Rafflesia including a bud about ready to bloom so great experience.

Great experience! Saw a few orangutans up close during feeding time. Clean place and friendly staff

Our guide Lucien was born and bred in Kuching and he has many wonderful stories and nuggets on Kuching to share with us, such as how the city was named Kuching, the different ethnic groups and their contributions, etc. The walking tour focused on the historic Waterfront area and we thoroughly enjoyed our 4 hours with him.

Check-in was scheduled for 3:00 PM, but my family arrived at 3:20 PM. They informed us the room was not yet ready. Eventually, at 3:30 PM, they received a call and were able to get a room. In this aspect, they need to improve. It's understandable that it is a school holiday. However, check-out is already at 3:00 PM, which is quite late. Postponing this while check-out is at 12:00 noon is not ideal.
