Huge thank you to Mr Aiman for an absolutely wonderful tour. We couldn’t have asked for a better tour host, he took such great care of us and made our trip amazing. He was so konwldgable about Sarawak and Iban culture, this will surely be the highlight of our trip. Massive thank you again!

Spent a day with Saloma at her homestay. I had an excellent time with her others throughout the entire visit there. They were very friendly and made me feel very welcome despite being the sole visitor for the day trip package. The guide took me to the waterfall as shown in the pictures, and I never felt so relaxed feeling the wind from the downward stream. Lunch was also provided, which was simple but delicious. Would definitely visit again, and consider staying there for a few nights if I visit Kuching another time.
