On arrival you will be transferred to your hotel. This afternoon visit Semenggoh. Established in 1975 just outside Kuching, Semenggoh Wildlife Conservation Centre is the home of many orang-utans.

After your visit, enjoy a river cruise on a traditional boat where you can savour the enchanting sunset over the Borneo skies.
Visit the well-preserved National Park at the mouth of the Bako River. Enjoy a scenic drive through the rural countryside to the riverbank and trek along one of the many nature trails in the park.

Depart Kuching for your drive to Annah Rais, a Bidayuh Longhouse housing around 120 families.
