Relaxing cruise to spot dolphins & wildlife in tranquil mangroves
This dolphin watching cruise along the Santubong River takes you through lush mangroves in search of the elusive Irrawaddy dolphin, with an experienced local captain who grew up in the area and has a knack for spotting wildlife others miss. It’s easily one of the most underrated wildlife experiences in Kuching.Unlike other boat tours, this one isn’t just about chasing dolphins – it's about observing them respectfully in their natural habitat, while also venturing deep into mangrove-lined waterways to spot proboscis monkeys, crocodiles, eagles, and more.
