About Your Guide
- Our community guides are local and are well trained friendly professionals who give simple safety instructions as well as basic paddling techniques at the beginning of the trip. The guides are happy to provide local knowledge of the Semadang River and its landscape, so that you will have plenty of information about your journey in these beautiful waters, and at the same time ensure safety and great FUN on the river!
What You'll Do
Float down a stretch of untouched tributary of the Sarawak River to discover hidden waterfalls, explore limestone formations and take the opportunity to have a dip in the cold refreshing mountain water. On the halfway mark, drop by a Bidayuh tribe’s village to explore how the natives farm and fish. You can try to cross the village’s scary looking suspension swinging bridge that the local community still uses for their everyday activities. Lunch is served here by the river or on a beach while you sunbath!
After lunch, continue to paddle leisurely and savor the peace and tranquility of the rainforest. This serene and smooth flowing river is a great place for friends and family to compete in fun race and water fights. When water level permits, stopover at a mini waterfall for swimming and river fish feeding before ending the fantastic kayaking tour at the Kampong Semadang.
Join this exhilarating day trip to enjoy one of the most popular outdoor activities in Kuching to explore the pristine wilderness of the Borneo rainforest from the vantage point of a river.
