Itinerary

  1. Sarawak Cultural Village

    2 hours Admission included

    One of Malaysia’s best-known and most iconic cultural attractions, Sarawak Cultural Village is a unique award-winning living museum offering and exciting and informative introduction to local cultures and lifestyles. Nine authentic replica buildings represent every major ethnic group in Sarawak; Bidayuh, Iban and Orang Ulu longhouses, a Penan jungle settlement, a Melanau tall-house, a Malay town house, a Chinese farmhouse and pagoda. Each is staffed with members of their respective ethnic groups, in traditional costume, carrying out traditional activities. Every house has a “storyteller” who is an expert in describing and interpreting traditional cultures and lifestyles.

    After touring the village, visitors can enjoy a multi-cultural dance performance in the village’s own theatre, or even take dance, music and craft lessons. There is also a good ethnic restaurant and a handicrafts shop on-site.

  2. Matang Wildlife Centre

    2 hours

    Matang is not a zoo. It is a dedicated centre where endangered species, such as orang utans are rehabilitated and released into the forest. Most individuals were confiscated from members of the public, who illegally kept them as pets, and must be taught how to fend for themselves in the wild.While they are being educated, they remain at the centre, enabling you to get close to animals you might not spot in days of wandering the jungle.

    There are more than just animals to see at Matang. You can enjoy a series of rock pools, a swimming area, picnic spots, camping sites, scenic nature trails, three waterfalls, a viewing area and enclosures for viewing semi-wild animals. There are various eco tourism projects being carried out at Matang wildlife centre, such as Heart to Heart with orang utan and the orang utan Junior Program.
