Day 1 – Arrival at Damai beach

Whether you’re coming straight from Kuching Airport, or from elsewhere in Sarawak, we’ll arrange a transfer to take you straight to your hotel by the beach. Your afternoon is free to do as you please – relax by the pool, take a dip in the sea and watch the sunset. If you fancy a stroll then there is a little village nearby where you can pick up some local food.

Day 2 – Rainforest kayaking

This morning your guide and driver will pick you up after breakfast and take you to the area of Bengoh, which is the starting point of your kayak adventure. You’ll paddle slowly down stream in a small group admiring the beauty of limestone rocks and rainforest surrounding. Your guide will stop at the friendly village of the Bidayuh tribe, where you can meet local people and have a refreshing dip in the river. You’ll arrive back at your hotel in the afternoon, and can spend the rest of the day however you choose.
