Time for some family R&R time on Damai Beach: golden sands backed by tropical rainforest, a short drive from Kuching. The only activity planned is a gentle wildlife spotting cruise along the Santubong River. The rest of your stay is free to relax, swim or perhaps compete with each other on who can make the best sandcastles!

Day 1 – Arrive at Damai Beach

Today you and the family will be picked up and transferred straight to your hotel located along the sandy beach, facing the ocean. The hotel has two swimming pools, one perfect for young kids wanting to take a splash and the other giving you beautiful clifftop views. The afternoon is free for you to do what you want, relax by the pool, dip in the sea or if you all want to get out and about then you can head to a nearby village for a stroll and a bite to eat.

Day 2 – Wildlife spotting cruise

Your morning is free for you to relax.

In the afternoon, you’ll be transferred to the river edge to board a boat and cruise down the Santubong River where Irrawaddy dolphins are often sighted. From there you’ll cruise the mangrove-lined rivers and estuaries looking for wildlife, including proboscis monkeys. Groups of these unusual looking monkeys are often seen along the river’s edge. As the light fades, you’ll look out for fireflies and crocodiles. In the night light, you’ll often be able to spot bright croc’s eyes looking back at you. You’ll also get to admire the sight of the fireflies lighting up the sky, before being transferred back to your hotel.

The wildlife cruise is suitable for children aged 7 years+ 

Day 3 – Departure from Damai Beach

Today it’s time to leave the golden shore behind as you pack your bags and head onto your next destination. If you’d prefer to spend an extra day or two relaxing on the beach, just let your Travel Specialist know!
