Ex-Kuching (0830hrs)

Day 01
We depart Kuching for a 4 hours drive through scenic ever green rainforest, fields of pepper and rubber. The first stop will be at Serian town where you will be taken to visit an excellent farmers' market. Lunch will be taken at a local restaurant en route. Continue drive to the Lemanak River where a delightful longboat ride under the rainforest canopy takes you to the longhouse. Pay a courtesy visit to the headman of the longhouse before visiting the pepper garden and a brief exploration of the surrounding forest. In the evening a traditional style dinner sitting on the mat, will be served, followed by a night of traditional ceremonial dances and merry making. Overnight in the longhouse. (Lunch / Dinner)

The highlight of a trip to Borneo is a stay overnight in an Iban longhouse. You will be treated to the most memorable experience of the extremely hospitable and friendly Ibans who treasure the unique traditional lifestyle living under one roof and reserving their rich culture and traditions.

Day 02
After breakfast, witness and participate in the blow pipe demonstration, a guided nature walk which give you an opportunity to learn about some medicinal plants, edible fruits and leaves, the agricultural activities of the community and some game traps used in the past for trapping animals. We will stop by the river beach for a backwoods style picnic lunch where our foods are cooked in bamboo. After lunch, depart by longboat down river and continue overland for your return journey to Kuching. Arrive Kuching in the late afternoon or evening. (Breakfast / Lunch)

Please bring along comfortable light clothing, a sun hat, poncho, battery torch light, swim suit, some insect repellent and drinking water bottle.

“Just wanted to say thank you to you and all the staff at Borneo Eco Tours. We had a wonderful tour and felt we received excellent value for money and the co-ordination with all our activities was perfect. Please express my gratitude particularly to Osman (KK), Fernando and Damian (Sukau Rainforest Lodge). All the staffs were caring and professional and had a genuine care both for their guests and the environment. The support to the local community and capacity building was impressive. Unfortunately we forget to return our feedback questionnaires but I have to say both myself and Sharon were delighted with the tour and have no criticisms to make. We hope very much to travel with Borneo Eco Tours.”
