Sarawak Päiväretket

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.

Upea paikka, jossa kulttuuri, historia ja luonto kohtaavat. Perinteisissä taloissa kävely ja eri etnisten ryhmien tunteminen oli kiehtovaa. Ympäristö itsessään on upea, ja kulttuuriesitys oli kohokohta. Erittäin suositeltava.

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.

Tämä on hankala arvostelu. Ensinnäkin, yritys ja erityisesti oppaamme Den olivat ensiluokkaisen erinomaisia, ja suosittelisimme heitä täysin. Kuitenkin, eläinten etsintään tarkoitetut vaellukset olivat melko pettymys, sillä kävelimme periaatteessa ehkä kilometrin verran kävelysilloilla emmekä juuri tunkeutuneet varsinaiseen viidakkoon. Oppaamme selitti erinomaisesti eri eläimistöä ja kasvistoa, ja näimme hopealehti- ja nenäapinoita, vihreän kyyn, sammakon ja myrkyllisen madon. Krokotiileja ei näkynyt, ja apinoiden kuvia oli erittäin vaikea saada selkeästi, ellei ollut ammattitason varusteita. Mutta pahin osa oli majoitus: kuvittelimme, että vaeltaisimme jonnekin viidakkoon yöpymään jonkinlaisessa majassa, mutta todellisuudessa olimme rivitalossa aivan sisäänkäyntikeskuksen takana, 100 metrin päässä rannasta. Huoneemme oli juuri ja juuri toimiva, siinä oli patja lattialla, jääkaappi, kaksi tuuletinta ja paljon hometta seinillä. Se ei ollut paras yöuni. Ruoka keskuksessa oli kuitenkin hyvää.

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.

Kävin sesongin ulkopuolella, joten sain yksityisen kierroksen. En onnistunut näkemään delfiinejä, koska se riippuu säästä ja tuurista, mutta näin apinoita ja krokotiileja. ol
