Kuching via Bako National Park

Morning jungle explorers, ready for your first full day? Yeah, you are! This morning, we’ll head to the Bako Fishing Village and jump on a cruise to the Bako National Park. See those funky-looking giant rocks? That’s how you know we’re in Bako - the perfect spot to check out Sarawak’s forests and wildlife! We’ll hit the lush forest trails with a local guide, checking out all the teeming wildlife along the way. Keep your eyes peeled for the rare proboscis monkeys (there are only around 275 here!).  A free evening dawns on us after sunset. And lucky for you, there are plenty of shops, streets and museums to explore.
