5D4N Kuching Nature, Culture & Food Tour: Orangutans, Caves, Heritage Walk & Sarawak Farmstay

Upon arrival at Kuching International Airport, transfer to your hotel in Kuching city and check in. Known for its laid-back riverside atmosphere and rich cultural heritage, Kuching offers a welcoming introduction to Sarawak. 

In the late afternoon, head to the waterfront and board a scenic sunset cruise along the Sarawak River. As the boat passes landmarks such as the Astana and Fort Margherita, enjoy views of the city skyline slowly illuminated by the evening lights. The gentle river breeze and changing colours of the sunset create a relaxing start to your journey. 

Dinner will be arranged before returning to your hotel for an overnight stay.

After breakfast, journey to Bau to explore Fairy Cave and Wind Cave, two of the region’s most well-known limestone cave systems. Fairy Cave is known for its spacious interior and dramatic rock formations, while Wind Cave offers a cooler atmosphere with narrow cave passages and unique natural features. The stairs inside the caves can be steep and slippery, so some caution and footwear with good grip are highly recommended.

Continue to Borneo Keranji Farm for your countryside stay. After check-in and a short introduction, spend the afternoon experiencing the slower pace of rural Sarawak surrounded by greenery and open landscapes. 

Take part in a “farm-to-table” activity and explore the farm grounds, where you can observe local plants, interact with animals, and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. As evening approaches, enjoy dinner at the farm before relaxing for the night. You may choose to unwind by the pool or simply enjoy the calm countryside atmosphere beneath the evening sky.

Begin your day with the peaceful atmosphere of the farm before departing for Annah Rais Longhouse, a traditional Bidayuh village nestled at the foothills of the mountains that was once home to headhunters. Walk through the longhouse and discover the customs, architecture, and daily life of one of Sarawak’s indigenous communities. 

Enjoy a traditional Bidayuh meal featuring bamboo-cooked chicken and wild jungle vegetables before continuing to Semenggoh Wildlife Centre for a chance to observe orangutans in a semi-wild environment. During feeding sessions, you may witness these remarkable primates emerge from the surrounding rainforest, offering a memorable glimpse into Borneo’s wildlife. 

After the visit, return to Kuching and check in to your hotel. The evening is free for you to explore the city at your own pace, whether by strolling along the waterfront or discovering Kuching’s local cafes and eateries.

Today is dedicated to discovering Kuching through its streets, stories, and flavours. Set out on a guided heritage walk through the city’s historic districts, including India Street, Gambier Street, Main Bazaar, and Carpenter Street, where old shop houses, temples, and family-run businesses reflect Kuching’s multicultural roots. 

Along the way, enjoy a curated food hunt featuring local favourites such as kolo mee, laksa, and traditional snacks while experiencing the rhythm of everyday life in the city. Continue to the Open Air Market and Kuching Waterfront, where local flavours, conversations, and riverside views come together. 

Later, visit a Kek Lapis factory to learn about Sarawak’s iconic layered cake, known for its colourful patterns and intricate preparation techniques. Enjoy a tasting session before returning to your hotel after a full day of cultural and culinary exploration.

After breakfast, check out from your hotel and transfer to Kuching International Airport for your departure.
