If you have the extra time, don't hesitate to spend it with the local guides and longhouse residents spending the evening enjoying a traditional dinner and chatter. A highlight of this trip will be to Semenggoh Nature Reserve to see rehabilitated Orangutans. This will also give you more time to relax in nature and take a secluded path to waterfalls.

Easy kayaking down river. We were well looked after. Prompt pick up. Friendly guides and driver. Saw some monkeys and sea eagle with snake in mouth. Lunch good. Climbed up small inlet river to waterfall and also swam in river. Cool temperature and fun.

Trevor and I had the most amazing trip today. It started with a special acknowledgment of our wedding anniversary and continued with great explanations of the local flora. We really enjoyed our lunch prepared by Asin's wife. Our guides didn't rush us down the river and took heaps of photos of everything for us which we will get emailed with a drop drop box link tomorrow. Having a swim near the end was just what we needed. Thanks team!

We had a great day although our backs were a bit tired at the end of the day. Scenery was great. An extra special inclusion was the photos sent to us at the end of the day at no charge. Memories to cherish.

This was my second time doing the kayaking trip and this time it was pouring rain and we absolutely loved the view in the rain. It felt like we were experiencing the "real" Borneo in the rain with mist all over the hills! I recommend this trip to everyone who visits Kuching!

Before going on this day trip, Audrey was very prompt and kind with my enquiries about the details and what to bring for kayaking. Signing up for the trip was very easy too. We got picked up by Mr Asin right from our accommodation's doorstep and overall it was a fun and amazing experience! Because we went on 26 Dec, which is a holiday in Kuching, many of the residents at the longhouses were at home and they were very friendly and even had us sit down and try some of their food! Lunch was also cooked at home by a local and we felt the love that went into preparing the food. My father and I felt safe throughout the kayaking. We kayaked for 2 hours (11km) and it felt too short because of the fun and the views we had. Highly recommend this adventure! (We signed up for package C.)
