Itinerary Borneo Family Rainforest Adventure DAY 1: ARRIVAL - KUCHING Meet & Greet at Kuching International Airport and transfer to your hotel. In the afternoon, depart for Kuching city tour. Visit the old White Rajah buildings, open markets, temples and mosques. Finally visit the Sarawak Museum, with its ethnologic and fauna exhibits. After tour transfer back to your hotel. Overnight DAY 2: KUCHING/SARAWAK CULTURAL VILLAGE/SEMENGGOH/KUCHING (B) Today discover the local entics in Sarawak. Located about 34km from the city, the award winning Sarawak Cultural Village (SCV) is a refreshing and unique living museum sitting on a sprawling 17 - acre site at the foothills of the legendary Mount Santubong. It has 7 representative ethnic houses - Bidayuh Longhouse, Iban Longhouse the Penan Hut, the Orang Ulu Longhouse, the Melanau House, the Malay House and Chinese Farm House. These houses are built according to authentic styles and replete with real, traditional artifacts. SCV is known as a living museum because natives live in its houses and make handicrafts. A trip here will enable you to gain a rather comprehensive insight into the colourful traditional and cultures of the various races in Sarawak. Watch how the womenfolk make intricate bead-necklaces and baskets, observe their traditional cooking methods, admire the refined skills of their male counterpart in handling the deadly blowpipe, making the Parang ilang (ceremonial sword) or casting their fishing nets into the man-made lake. Back to town for your own lunch.

At 02.00pm, depart for Semenggoh Orang Utan Conservation Center, located about 30 minutes drive south from Kuching. It s part of the larger Semenggoh Nature Reserve, Sarawak s oldest forest reserve which houses a botanical research centre, arboretum, gardens and trails. Unlike in a zoo, the Orang Utans are free to roam in this 653 hectare forest reserve. Here, young and adolescent Orang Utans used to be trained to survive in the wild. Spot their delicate nests, watch their skillful movements in the tree tops and their interesting behaviour during feeding time. The guide will also narrate to you the behaviour and characteristics of this special primate called Orang Utan or 'Man of the Forest' in the Malay language. Back to town and rest of the day free at leisure. DAY 3: BAKO NATIONAL PARK (B/L) Morning, depart Kuching for a 45 minutes drive which passes through mangrove forest with its unique nipah palms before arriving at the Bako Fishing Village. Continue by a motorized boat for a 30 minutes cruise along the coast facing the South China Sea to reach Bako National Park. After visiting the Park s information and exhibition center, proceed to the park s western end to walk along the plankwalk through the mangrove forest. During low tide, observe the mud skippers and blue-fiddler crabs coming out from their hideout for feeding. Proceed along Paku trail to look-out for Proboscis Monkey, climb to the plateau which is home to various botanical delights and several species of the carnivorous pitcher plants. Notice the changes of the vegetation (mangrove, rainforest, Kerangas and padang forest). After lunch, proceed by trekking through the forest which boasts monstrous rainforest trees, indulge in bird watching and observe other wildlife. Return to the jetty, then by boat to Bako Village and transfer by van to Kuching. Rest of the day free at leisure. DAY 4: KUCHING - KAMPUNG BENGOH (B/L) Morning, depart for about 60 minutes drive from Kuching to reach Kampung Bengoh. The journey passes through scenic countryside of rice fields, small, scale rubber, cocoa, pepper farms which intermingle with forest, rivers and mountain ranges. You will alight at Bengoh, a Bidayuh village and the staging point for your adventure. Here you ll be given paddling instructions and safety briefing before proceeding down some steps to a small stream to embark on the kayaking adventure. This shaded stream with overhanging jungle foliage, steep banks, a bridge, is the starting point for your kayaking which meanders for a short distance before entering the vista of Sg. Sarawak Kiri. A quarter of the way paddling down-river, we alight at Kampung Canu just after the pedestrian suspension bridge, visit this delightful Bidayuh village with picnic-lunch being served. We will continue our relaxing journey paddling down-river and making a stop by a sandy bank beneath soaring limestone hills.
