What you’ll see or do:
Kayak & Orangutan Discovery:
If the thrill of rainforest kayak is not enough, meet mankind’s closest relative, the Orangutan, during feeding time. A full and exciting day of fun and adventure awaits you!
The day started off with a relaxing visit to the wonderful Semenggoh Orangutan Sanctuary, as feeding time approaches. Enclosed in a large area of lush rainforest it is home to endangered Orangutans who have been rescued from captivity & are now part of a successful rehabilitation programme. In response to the calls of the resident park rangers during the scheduled feeding time, these amazing primates would descend from the canopy to the lower branches of trees, near the feeding area and offer us the chance to see them at fairly close quarters which for many is the wildlife highlight of their Borneo trip.
After the feeding time, we continue our journey to the start of our kayaking adventure. We hop into a kayak on the Sarawak Kiri River. The current takes you downstream toward Kampung Semadang, carrying you past massive limestone formations and dense forestry on either bank. At the halfway point, drop by a Bidayuh tribe’s village to explore how the natives farm and fish. You can try to cross the village’s scary looking suspension swinging bridge that the local community still uses for their everyday activities to see how the natives farm and fish. Lunch is served here by the river or, then enjoy your lunch on a beach while you sunbath!
After lunch, continue to paddle leisurely and savor the peace and tranquility of the rainforest. This serene and smooth flowing river is a great place for friends and family to compete in fun race and water fights. When water level permits, stopover at a mini waterfall for swimming and river fish feeding before ending the fantastic kayaking tour at the Kampong Semadang.
Join us for this full day family friendly tour to enjoy one of the most popular daytrips and excursion in Kuching to explore the pristine wilderness of the Borneo rainforest from the vantage point of a river as well as witnessing the natural wonder of the orangutan.
