Day 1

Day 1- KUCHING: Upon arrival at the Kuching International Airport, we will meet with the guide and transfer to the hotel for check-in. At 02.00pm, depart for Kuching City Tour. The tour includes the visit to the Tua Pek Kong temple, the oldest Chinese temple in Sarawak, built in 1876. From there, view the imposing Fort Margarita. Drive by St. Joseph’s Cathedral, the Syariah (Muslim) Court, traditional Malay houses built on stilts and the mosque built along the bank of the river. Look out for the majestic Astana, the former palace of the White Rajahs, now the official residence of the Governor of Sarawak. Stop for a few minutes in front of the old colonial Court House, complete with a clock tower and a granite obelisk built in memory of the second White Rajah, Charles Brooke. At the end of the tour, return transfer to the hotel. Overnight. 

Day 2

Day 2- KUCHING (B/L): At 08.00am, depart for Bako National Park, located at the northern tip of the Muara Tebas Peninsula, which covers an area of 2,728 hectares of primary forest. Bako is home to several botanical species; the difference in vegetation is due to the different levels of altitude of the park. One of the most prominent inhabitants of the area is the proboscis monkey, a species endemic to Borneo that with some luck can be spotted in the wild within the park. The excursion starts from Kuching with a transfer to a Malay fishing village, from where guests are transferred by boat to Bako National Park. Once at the park, start exploring the area in search of wildlife and botanical species through rain and mangrove forests. A packed lunch is included. At the end of the tour, return transfer to the hotel by 3.30pm. NB: the timings for the visit to the park depend on the sea condition and they will be confirmed by the guide. Overnight. 

The boats and islands excursions are on shared basis to minimise the environmental impact of boats in the fragile mangrove areas of Bako.

Day 3

Day 3- KUCHING (B/L): At 07.30am, depart for Semenggoh Wildlife Centre. Upon arrival, a 20-minute walk may be required from the main road to the rehabilitation centre entrance, as vehicles are at times not allowed to get all the way to the entry point. Set up in 1975 Semenggoh Rehabilitation Centre is home to Orang Utans. Most of these animals have been rescued from captivity and are being rehabilitated and trained to fend for themselves before being released into the wild. This tour is an excellent opportunity to witness how these special training programs are carried out. Feeding session of the orang utan is at 09-10am. At 01.30pm, depart for Annah Rais Longhouse, ruled by the Bidayuhs tribe, formerly known as the Land Dayaks during the era of the Brookes'. It is one of the many longhouses that dot the landscapes of Sarawak and is located 100 km from Kuching and quite close to the Indonesian border. At the end of the tour, return transfer to the hotel by 5pm. Overnight. 

Suggested items to bring along: comfortable walking shoes, raincoat, insect repellent, swim wear, sandals or slippers, sun screen lotion, hat, torchlight, small hand luggage or backpack.
