What you can expect

Experience Malaysia's environment and heritage while gaining insight on the country's cultural diversity. On this full day experience, delve into an often unseen side of Sarawak as you explore local villages, historic waterways, and ancient architecture.

The first half of your tour takes you from Kuching through beautiful Malaysian countryside. Admire the breathtaking landscapes dotted by fields growing rice, pepper, and cocoa—some of Sarawak's primary produce. A brief stop at the small town of Serian lets you explore a local wet market—selling rare objects and tasty food.

Visit the town of Lachau, close to the Kalimantan border, before entering a traditional longboat for a scenic water journey. Glide upstream through the waterway, taking photos as you pass under charming trees bending over the river.

Once you arrive at an Iban village, tour a longhouse, the center of communal life in Sarawak. Marvel at the long, bamboo architecture—emblematic of the Iban culture—as local maidens and warriors entertain you with a welcoming dance. Sip on a delicious rice wine as villagers demonstrate popular games, including cockfighting and blowpipe, at the end of your unforgettable safari.
