River Safari




Skrang River Safari : Skrang is about 232km from Kuching. It is an exciting destination for visitors who wish to see and experience life in a longhouse, once the homes of notorious pirates and head hunters. Visitors would be able to experience the traditions and customs of the Dayak Ibans by spending a night in a longhouse. Traditional dances and music are the highlights of the evening entertainment. During this evening entertainment, you will be served with "tuak", a specially brewed rice wine. The journey into Skrang takes about 5 hours by road, followed by 1 1/2 hour of motor-propelled longboat journey along the Skrang River.
Lemanak river Safari : Lemanak is a tributary of the main Batang Lupar River. Being 220km from Kuching, it can be reached by a 5 hour road journey. The journey passes through scenic countryside, rubber and pepper plantations, padi fields, and sago palms. This is followed by a an hour of a motorized longboat ride penetrating the tropical rainforest through meandering streams. An overnight stay here, like that of the Skrang River Safari, gives you a glimpse of life in a longhouse and its people. Cockfighting and jungle trekking are among the highlights of this trip.
