Things to do in Sarawak

In my opinion, this is a must visit place for first timer visitor to Kuching. Here, you may have an opportunity to learn the multi culture in Sarawak. The cultural show at 11.30am is superb, we really enjoy the visit to Sarawak Cultural Village.

I had a fabulous trek into Bako National Park, even though the weather didn’t fully cooperate. It was raining when I arrived, so unfortunately I didn’t get to see much wildlife along the trails but just as I made my way back to the base, I was lucky enough to spot one of Bako’s famous residents: the bearded pig!Getting there was an adventure in itself. I took a cab straight from my hotel to the Bako terminal to register. I felt super lucky because, as I arrived, I found a group of friendly strangers who had one slot left on their boat. Sharing with them saved me a lot of money, I only paid RM 40 for the round-trip boat ride instead of having to pay the full RM 200 if you don’t find anyone to share with. So if you’re planning to go solo, try to team up with other travelers at the terminal, it’s a great way to save some ringgit and meet new people!Once I got there, the rain had just stopped, so I decided to hike up Telok Pandan Besar and Telok Pandan Kecil. The first part of the trail was quite challenging, with steep slopes that really gave my legs a workout. But the views and the sense of adventure made it totally worth it.If you ever come to Kuching, I definitely recommend setting aside a day for Bako National Park. It’s such a unique place — you’ll feel like you’re stepping into another world of dense jungle, hidden beaches, and the chance to spot amazing wildlife.

Marina Bay Park Miri boasts the closest open beach to the city center, less than a kilometer north to south, facing the sea to the west. The sea breeze and rolling waves offer a perfect spot to linger and enjoy the natural scenery. As I strolled along the shore, I saw red frangipani (Plumeria rubra), Terminalia catappa (Terminalia catappa, a species commonly planted in coastal areas due to its salt tolerance and adaptation to seaside environments), sisal (Agave sisalana), quince (Agave sisalana, an upright shrub belonging to the Asclepiadaceae family), and ornamental trees.

Really excellent museum, far exceeding my expectations!!

Really interesting, well documented display of the history of Borneo. Many interactive activities added deeper understanding.

Visiting Semenggoh Wildlife Centre in Kuching, Sarawak was an experience I’ll cherish forever. Nestled in lush rainforest, this sanctuary serves as a rehabilitation center for orangutans and is a testament to the commitment towards wildlife conservation. The highlight of my visit was undoubtedly the chance to see the orangutans up close during their feeding time. Watching them swing gracefully through the treetops and interact with one another was nothing short of magical.

Serenity by the Sarawak: My Morning Escape at Kuching WaterfrontEnjoyed a lovely late morning stroll along the Sarawak River with beautiful views of the legislative assembly building. The area was quiet and relaxing with few people around - perfect for some peaceful downtime. Appreciated the benches under shady trees where you can sit and enjoy the cool river breeze. A simple but pleasant way to experience Kuching's riverside charm without crowds. Great spot for: - Leisurely walks - Quiet contemplation - Enjoying river views - Escaping the city bustle No frills, just a nice public space by the water. Ideal for travelers looking for a calm moment in between sightseeing. --- Note: Visit in morning/evening for best temperatures
