You will be picked up from your hotel between 7:30 and 8:00 a.m., followed by a scenic 40-minute drive to the beautiful Semenggoh Forest Reserve. This visit offers a wonderful opportunity to observe semi-wild orangutans in their natural rainforest environment. Semenggoh is a well-known orangutan rehabilitation centre that cares for orphaned and rescued orangutans, gradually preparing them for life in the wild. More than 20 orangutans roam freely within the reserve and often return to the feeding platform during feeding times.

You may witness orangutans emerging from the surrounding forest canopy and making their way to the feeding area, which is set within a natural amphitheatre, allowing for excellent viewing opportunities. Park rangers will provide an informative briefing on the purpose and conservation objectives of the centre, while your guide will point out any orangutans or wildlife visible along the forest trails.

After the orangutan experience, enjoy another 40-minute scenic drive through the Sarawak countryside to Annah Rais Bidayuh Longhouse, taking in lush landscapes along the way. Upon arrival, you will be warmly welcomed with a traditional village drink known as Tuak. Annah Rais is home to over 80 families, making it one of the largest remaining traditional longhouses in Sarawak.

Explore the Bidayuh village with your guide and learn about the fascinating culture of the Land Dayaks, who were once known as headhunters. Discover the longhouse’s unique architectural features and gain insight into traditional farming practices, including the distinctive use of bamboo in daily life.

Your cultural immersion continues with a delicious traditional lunch served on the longhouse’s Sanju (patio). Enjoy freshly prepared Ayam Pansuh (bamboo-cooked chicken) accompanied by wild jungle vegetables—an authentic Sarawak ethnic meal lovingly prepared by the local community.

After lunch, it is time to bid farewell to the village and begin the journey to Fairy Cave. After an hour journey you will arrive at Fairy cave, the majestic limestone cave of Bau. You will explore the cave’s impressive rock formations, including stalactites and stalagmites, as sunlight filters through natural openings to create a magical atmosphere. The cave is accessible via a short jungle walk and a series of steps, offering a rewarding and memorable experience. If time allows, we will then stop by Blue Lake/Rock Maze or Siniawan Old Town for a short while.

Now it is time to back to Kuching. You will be transferred to your hotel, arriving at approximately 4:30 p.m., bringing a memorable day of wildlife encounters and cultural discovery to a close.

Please note that if the tour is on Monday, it will be wind cave instead of Fairy cave. This tour package is not inclusive of a licensed tour guide but with our professional driver to bring you to all those places. To understand the village and the culture, a local longhouse guide will be provided.
