Top Kuching Eco Tours

Visit Semenggoh Orangutan Centre, a wildlife centre dedicated to rehabilitating orangutans, on a half-day tour from Kuching. Alongside your guide, you’ll embark on a short hike through the rain forest in order to watch the semi-wild orangutans at feeding time. Learn about the 20 orangutans who live in the surrounding forest, many whom arrived injured or orphaned, and admire the surrounding fauna. Hotel pickup and drop-off are included.

Experience the best of Sarawak in one unforgettable trip. Begin at Semenggoh Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre, where you may watch semi-wild orangutans emerge from the rainforest for feeding and learn from rangers about the center’s vital conservation work. Then enjoy a scenic drive to Annah Rais Bidayuh Longhouse, one of Sarawak’s oldest communities. Be welcomed with traditional tuak, explore the longhouse’s bamboo-crafted architecture, and discover the rich culture of the Bidayuh people. Your visit ends with an authentic ethnic lunch featuring Ayam Pansuh (bamboo chicken) and fresh jungle vegetables. A perfect blend of wildlife and culture.

Begin your adventure with a hotel pick-up then proceed to Semadang River in the Padawan area, a journey of about one and a half hours by road. Along the way, you’ll enjoy scenic countryside views of rolling terrain adorned by small-scale pepper farms. Upon arrival, you will receive instructions on kayaking techniques, life jacket and helmet usage, and a safety briefing. Your kayaking journey will lead you down a serene and scenic waterway, taking you to the Aruang Piin Trusan Mini Waterfall and Sibudak riverbank. Here, you’ll make a brief stop for a refreshing dip, hand-feed wild fish, and even try some body rafting. We will then proceed to the lunch site, which marks the end of the kayaking route. Convenient shower facilities are available on-site, allowing you to freshen up before departing the base camp enroute to Kuching.

Kubah National Park is an easy and enjoyable day trip from Kuching. Situated on a small sandstone plateau, this small park boasts crystal clear streams and a host of small waterfalls and bathing pools. Kubah is mostly covered by mixed dipterocarp forest, but it also has one of the widest selections of palms and orchids in Borneo. The varied wildlife includes bearded pig, mouse deer, black hornbill and many species of amphibians and reptiles. However, Kubah’s wildlife tends to stay deep in the forest so it is not really a park for “wildlife encounters”. The appeal of Kubah National Park lies in its rainforest scenery, its waterfalls, streams and bathing pools and the 93 species of palm found within its boundaries.

Go deep into the heart of Borneo on the kind of old-school adventure that’s almost impossible to put together independently, in an intimate group of maximum eight with a guide. Get up close with semi-wild orangutans at the Semenggoh Nature Reserve; tour a vibrant local market in Serian; then spend two nights in an authentic longhouse (meals included) discovering Batang Ai National Park and local traditions.
