On the halfway mark, drop by a Bidayuh tribe’s village to explore how the natives farm and fish.

Continue to paddle leisurely and savor the peace and tranquility of the rainforest. When water level permits, we can have a stopover for swimming and river fish feeding before ending the fantastic kayaking tour at the Kampong Semadang.
