Overview of Tour

This 5 day itinerary brings you through the exotic twin cities of Borneo – Kota Kinabalu & Kuching City – venturing into the ancient Borneo rainforest to witness the Orangutans, time-travelling to the past in an award-winning living museum, and caving through limestone caverns. We’re also throwing in a glorious dose of sun, sand and sea. An itinerary that boasts stunning natural scenery, best of Borneo’s wild wonders and cultural highlights.

We are pleased and delighted with our trip from Kuching to Kota Kinabalu. The 4-day journey there was amazing and fun. We learned a lot about Borneo tribal cultures and their way of life.

Our driver cum tour guide was a very responsible and pleasant person who was keen to share all his knowledge about Sarawak. Anthony Wong was prompt in his response and also provided great assistance in booking our land tour. All land trips and hotel bookings were arranged smoothly.

We strongly recommend ‘Amazing Borneo.

Sample Itinerary

Arrive in kuching / sarawak cultural village.

5 Days in Borneo begins with Day 1 in Kuching City, state capital of Sarawak. The beautiful friendship between you and Borneo will kick off on the cultural side of things, the first stop on the day’s agenda is Sarawak Cultural Village. Visit the award-winning ‘living’ museum that spreads over a 17-acre site at the foothills of mystical Mount Santubong. Here is where you will tap into the tribal lifestyles of the 7 major ethnic groups that makes Sarawak so culturally awesome. Discover the arts, crafts, games, tasty delicacies and also behold the architectural heritage of Longhouses representing the ethnic groups of Iban, Bidayuh and Orang Ulu and the Melanau tall-house. Boogie down, Borneo style! Brace yourself for a multi-cultural dance performance in the village’s own theatre. After the tour, you’ll be transported back to your hotel.

Lunch Kuching 4-Star Hotel

Fairy & Wind Caves / Semenggoh Orang Utan Centre / Kuching

Wake up and pack up for a day of exploration deep into the innards of Kuching’s limestone caves! Hit the road for a 22km drive from Kuching City to a famous old mining centre named Bau where it is home to two unusual limestone caves.

First stop, Fairy Caves , where you’ll be met by a 3 storey high chamber opening. Explore the caves with a torchlight, and make your way to the main chamber where you can marvel at Stalacites and Stalagmites hanging tight from the cave ceilings. Look out for a formation deemed ‘The Goddess of Mercy”, three meters in height and resembling a women dressed in classical Chinese robes. Also another formation that looks like an old man crouching down. 

Wonder on to the Wind Cave , named for the constant cooling breeze that blows through it. Thread along the platform and find yourself in the midst of a dark-tunnel laced with bats and black-nest swiftlets, listen closely and you might hear them echo. Shimmy through conical cavities separated by blade-like pinnacles of limestone, limestone pendants hanging from the roof of the cave passage.

After feeding your wanderlust, it’s time to feed your stomach. Lunch time.

After lunch, get acquainted with the cheeky red-haired man of the forest, orangutans! Venture out into the Semenggoh Orang Utan Centre to meet these characteristic apes in their natural habitat. You will be able to spend some-time with the elusive creature during feeding time on the platform. Visitors are also given an opportunity to further understand how the facility works as a rehabilitation centre, where most of the Orang Utans are orphans rescued from illegal animal poaching and injuries. Orangutans always steal the spotlight, but, there are also other wildlife roaming the area. Keep an ear out for the songs of wild birds and rehabilitated gibbons. It is difficult to guarantee the wildlife sightings, as they are in a vast area, however it is a sanctuary for an array of animals like porcupines, crocodiles and river terrapins

Kuching walking tour & cooking class, a taste of sarawak: kuching food by foot, sampan, sunset, & tuak, reviews from our previous guests, tripadvisor, april 2023.

We went to Bako National Park on a private tour. Our guide, Alex, had an encyclopedic knowledge and was able to explain a lot to us about the fauna and flora of the park. Thanks to him, we were lucky enough to be able to observe proboscis monkeys there.

I went on the Kampung local bike tour and had an amazing time! Great sights, cultural experience and local food! Ask for Farhah and u will be well taken care of! She is a rare gem of a guide with a wealth of local knowledge and a pleasure to hang out with.

Another wonderful cycle trip around Kuching with the very impressive Farhah. She made the trip as the guides do. She was knowledgeable, friendly, competent and made our half day very memorable. My second trip with this company; I learnt more than before. To have a local, passionate about Sarawak and her culture is priceless. Bikes were good and temp super. Finding hidden gems and eating with locals , made the experience special. Thank you Farhar and thank you to all.

TripAdvisor, December 2023

A very well curated trip planned by Paradesa, we did multi day trip with them which included cycling, speed hiking & kayaking. This was all inclusive trip with some great home stays & amazing home cooked food & wine’s.

It was a great holiday thanks to the planning & efforts of Paradesa and more importantly Farah & Lester during the trip. Farah is very knowledgeable about this region & thanks to her network of friends we had such a blast..

Will always fondly remember this experience!

TripAdvisor, January 2023

We had a great morning out riding seeing the city. We received great service, had a very friendly guide who was extremely accommodating with our young family. Would highly recommend.

This is my second trip to Kuching and my second time booking day trips with Paradesa and they did not disappoint. On this trip, I had my 8 year old and my 70++ parents with me and we did the Semenggoh Orangutan Sanctuary & Annah Rais Longhouse Day trip and the Wetlands Cruise. On each occasion, the guides assigned were helpful, informative and attentive to our varying needs (young and elderly both taken care of).

I went on a great walking food tour with Delilah, who was an excellent guide. In addition to eating all manner of interesting goodies, from restaurants, street vendors and hawker courts, Delilah gave us a great historical and cultural look at Kuching too. Highly recommended. Skip breakfast and come empty!

Google my business.

No need to have a big breakfast before you go, because you will eat plenty of food during the tour and enough water is provided. We both eat vegetarian and also that was well taken care of. Kelvin is a great tour guide. He knows a lot and could answer almost all our questions.
