Begin your adventure at Bako National Park, Sarawak’s oldest national park, where dramatic sandstone cliffs meet dense rainforest and mangrove ecosystems. Take a scenic boat ride into this wild sanctuary, home to the famous proboscis monkeys, long-tailed macaques, silver leaf monkeys, and a wide variety of birdlife.
After the excursion, retreat into nature at Permai Rainforest Resort, where you will stay amidst the rainforest in a treehouse or jungle villa. Here, you can unwind to the sounds of the jungle, enjoy a refreshing dip in natural pools, or relax by the private beach while watching the sunset over the South China Sea.
Continue to the hidden gem of Bengoh Valley, a pristine highland area surrounded by lush jungle and cascading waterfalls. After a scenic boat ride, trek through what is often described as the “Jurassic landscape of Sarawak,” where ancient rock formations and untouched rainforest create a dramatic setting.
Next, venture deeper into Sarawak’s interior to Batang Ai, home to the indigenous Iban community. Take a longboat journey across the tranquil reservoir to a traditional longhouse, where you will stay overnight and gain insight into the unique lifestyle of the former headhunters.
Participate in cultural exchanges, listen to stories passed down through generations, and taste traditional rice wine known as tuak. During your stay, embark on jungle trekking and river exploration in one of the few places in Sarawak where wild orangutans may still be found.
Travel upriver by longboat to hidden waterfalls, enjoy a riverside picnic, and witness traditional fishing techniques using nets. Relax in the evening at the communal verandah (ruai), interact with local families, and, if conditions allow, join a guided night walk to discover nocturnal wildlife.
Returning to Kuching, enjoy a relaxing city stay highlighted by a scenic Sarawak River Cruise. As the sun sets, take in panoramic views of the city skyline, historical landmarks, and riverside villages, offering a peaceful contrast to your jungle adventures.
The final leg of your journey takes you to the remote and untouched Tanjung Datu National Park, often regarded as one of Borneo’s most pristine coastal parks. Accessible only by boat, this secluded paradise features crystal-clear waters, white sandy beaches, and dense rainforest teeming with wildlife.
Spend your days trekking through jungle trails, discovering diverse plant species, and enjoying picnic lunches surrounded by nature. Relax by the beach, swim in the clear waters, or simply take in the tranquil atmosphere far from modern distractions.
At night, embark on guided walks to observe nocturnal creatures, and if you are fortunate and visiting during the right season, witness sea turtles coming ashore to nest—an extraordinary and rare experience guided by strict conservation practices.
