Take a boatride in this wonderful area, we went out afternoon to return night to get all the best views.Great experience, very good value
We took an evening cruise along the Santubong River. Look for the mud skippers on the water's edge. On our trip we saw dolphins, a crocodile, proboscis monkeys and a firefly or two. I had been expecting a NP, so was disappointed to see that there was mining and villages.
This was the highlight of our trip to Sarawak. We booked a tour (something we don't normally do) and went out in the late afternoon on a small boat with 6 other people. First we looked for and found the Irrawaddy Dolphins then went to look for the Proboscis Monkeys in the mangroves. We found a few and were very close to them as they swung and sat in the trees. Next were the fireflies, looking for crocodiles on the way (unfortunately we didn't see them), but the fireflies were magical. We also saw sea eagles and beautiful scenery with a fantastic sunset, and as a bonus the orange super moon. Absolutely magical - don't miss it!!
We did this cruise thru CPH Travel. During the morning cruise we saw Dolphins - Irrawaddy Dolphins and finless porpoise! It was a wonderful sight, our boat captain was a very experience person. He showed us some jellyfish, kingfishers and crocs too! Had fun!!The same day we went for an evening tour with the same operator but it was disappointing , we did see the fireflies , one croc , proboscis monkey and a croc. but It was just all ok. The fisher village is strictly no no , there is nothing to see. Its filthy with loads of mosquitoes and dirty smell. Avoid it if possible. Its too much off a cost for the things we get to see, evening boat ride could be avoided!!
The park is only accesible by boat. One can see crocodiles, dolphins, monkeys and a fantastic sunset. Close to Kuching.
We saw quite a few dolphins. Tour allowed plenty of time to watch them. Morning tours seem to be better for dolphin watching.
Went on a river safari to see the wildlife in the park. We did see 1 crocodile, 2 dolphins ( for about 2 seconds) and quite a few monkeys, but they were so distant we couldn't see the weird noses on the proboscis monkeys.It was still a great trip, just dont expect too much to avoid disappointment. Saw fireflies too
We went with the tour company CPH (they have their office near the McDonalds). The river cruise was quite expensive, 160 RM per person for about 3-4 hours. But it was really worth it. After a couple of minutes we already saw a huge saltwater crocodile of about 3.5 to 4m length, very impressive! And further downstream we were extremely lucky to see dozens of Irrawady river dolphins playing around. Additionally we saw a few other cool animals like mudskippers, little blue dancing crabs and fireflies. Our guide did an amazing job explaining everything and always turning off the motor as soon as possible to not disturb wildlife too much. Probably the best guide we had in 3 months Indonesia and Malaysia.
It was a 2hr boat ride where we saw simply nothing except the tail of a crocodile. The Park is 'dead', no birds, no dolphins, no wild animals. They then drove us to a little village at the river, presenting (unexpectedly) a homemade dinner. The taste was good but they expected us to eat with the hands. Which would be okay if there was an opportunity to clean your hands before and after eating... The price of 155 MYR / Person is way too high for this unnecessary experience.
Kuching Wetlands National Park is amazing place to see wild animals. We enjoyed the River safari there and we saw Proboscis monkeys, Silver Leaf monkeys, myriad species of birds, crocodiles and fishes. We enjoyed a lot on this tour with our Tour Operator GoTourister.com.
