Experience Boat Tours in Kuching

Best things to do: Your river cruise will reveal plenty of the Kuching top attractions, so spot them and then dive in deeper. The Kuching waterfront is great for evening strolls and food. The Sarawak Museum for some science and history, and further out of town, the Semenggoh Wildlife Rehabilitation Center, a conservation centre for orangutans is a must-visit.

Best time to go: Head to Kuching between April and October if you want the hottest and driest months. You may still get rained upon, but only occasionally. The whole of Sarawak is generally sheltered from the worst of Southeast Asia’s worst weather.


• Kuching has become the first city in the country that allows motorists legally to turn left when the exit is clear! Keep your eyes peeled.

• Kuching also has one huge roundabout! Its size is equivalent to 1 and a half football pitches. That’s one big roundabout.
