Spot playful dolphins in the wild (if you're lucky!)
If you want to see one of the world’s rarest dolphins, Kuching is one of the best places to do it — and this dolphin cruise is one of the few ways to do it right.Irrawaddy dolphins are shy and hard to spot. There are no guarantees here - and that’s exactly the point. Instead of chasing them (which many boats do), your captain reads the river, moves slowly, and waits. If the dolphins appear, it’s on their terms - which means a more natural, less stressful encounter. Along the way, you might also see proboscis monkeys, crocodiles and eagles.It’s a calm, respectful wildlife experience, and one you can feel good about, whether or not the dolphins show up.What to ExpectSlow river cruise through Santubong mangrovesSpot rare Irrawaddy dolphins (no chasing)Chance to see proboscis monkeys, crocs & birdsLocal captain who knows where to lookCalm, easy experience (great for families)Packed lunch and hotel transfers included
