Sunset Sarawak River Cruise:

Duration: 2 hours

The history of modern Sarawak began when an English adventurer James Brooke sailed up the Sarawak River in his schooner in 1839. Retrace this historic route with a boat ride down this same river, which still bustles with its charm. The trip also offers a panoramic view of the fast developing Kuching City, where the presence of the old buildings standing amidst modern ones give place a quaint character. Although Kuching has undergone much development over the years, its waterfront still retain its old charm. This contrasting picture is readily apparent with a river cruise where one will notice the commercial growth on one side of the river and the idyllic village lifestyle on the other. The cruises passes through the Esplanade, the many historical and then beautiful landmarks such as the Fort Margherita, the Astana, the gilt – Domes Mosque, Brooke Dockyards, Market Place, traditional Malay houses built on stilts and a Chinese fishing village.
