Private trek to hidden waterfalls and support local Bidayuh communities
This private waterfall day trip is perfect if you want a real Borneo jungle experience without the crowds. You’ll trek from a quiet village near the Malaysia–Indonesia border into the rainforest to reach two hidden waterfalls. Most of the time, you’ll have them to yourself - just you, your guide, and the jungle.What makes this extra special is what happens at the waterfall. Instead of just stopping for photos, you’ll help prepare a traditional Bidayuh meal cooked in bamboo over a fire, using simple local ingredients. While the food cooks, you can swim or relax by the rocks.On the way back, you’ll visit Annah Rais — one of the few remaining Bidayuh longhouses — where you can explore the village and even see preserved human skulls from its headhunting past.This experience was started by Abbie and Dawson as a way to support villages around Kuching. Being Bidayuh herself, Abbie grew up around these communities and now works directly with villagers to run each trip — so your visit helps support local families and keep traditions alive.It’s private, unhurried, and really meaningful. If you're curious about indigenous culture, love a bit of trekking and want to connect deeper with the land, you'll love this.What to ExpectPrivate jungle trek to two hidden waterfallsSwim in clear pools (often no crowds)Help cook a Bidayuh meal in bambooPicnic-style lunch by the waterfallVisit Annah Rais Bidayuh longhouseHear stories about local culture and jungle lifeHotel transfers, lunch and drinks includedAll entrance and transport costs included~3km trek each way, mostly gentle terrainGood to KnowPrivate experience (no other groups)Suitable for beginners and families
