Ting å gjøre i Sarawak

Vi drar fra Kuching sentrum kl. 07.00, og etter 30-40 minutters kjøring kommer vi til bryggen for Bako nasjonalpark. Fra bryggen tar det 10-15 minutter med liten båt for å komme til Bako nasjonalpark. Inne i parken kan du se ville dyr som aper, villsvin og giftige slanger på nært hold. Turen starter kl. 07.00 og varer til kl. 14.00. Siden det er en ganske lang tur i fjellet, kan det være slitsomt for eldre og de med nedsatt funksjonsevne. Det anbefales derfor å hvile godt dagen før turen. Turlederen er svært profesjonell, gir gode forklaringer og informerer om nødvendige sikkerhetstiltak for å sikre en trygg tur med dyreobservasjon, så du kan delta med ro i sinnet. Når du besøker Kuching, drar mange også til Sarawak Cultural Village og Semenggoh Wildlife Centre, men høydepunktet i Kuching er Bako nasjonalpark. Selv om prisen ikke er den billigste, er det en opplevelse du absolutt bør få med deg. Til slutt, husk å ta med myggmiddel for å unngå myggstikk.

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.

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 ☺️

veldig verdt det, men prøvde å bestille kl. 17.30 i stedet for 19.30... båten seilte opp og ned Sarawak-elven i solnedgangen og ga mange fotomuligheter

Enkelt å løse inn billett hos selgeren der, fin opplevelse med venner på solnedgangscruiset for å se Kuching. Vi kunne spise kek lapis, drikke vann og nyte forestillingen mens vi ventet på solnedgangen.

Vi hadde en supergod tur med Hans og hans kaptein, som levde opp til kallenavnet sitt «Ørnøye». Vi så Irrawaddy-delfiner, neseaper, krokodiller og ildfluer. Turen var veldig lærerik og med en dose humor. Barna våre hadde det veldig gøy, og maten om bord var deilig. Guidene tok mye hensyn til dyrene og slo for eksempel ofte og i god tid av motoren for ikke å forstyrre dem. Dette var veldig viktig for oss på forhånd, da vi ønsker å ta vare på naturen og ikke forstyrre dyrene unødig med vår tilstedeværelse. Vi syntes dette var veldig passende og kan anbefale turen på det varmeste.

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.
