Santubong Wildlife Cruise from Kuching , Kuching

This river cruise explores the tranquil waterways where the Santubong and Salak rivers meet, offering an immersive experience in Sarawak’s mangrove landscapes.

Departing from the Sarawak Boat Club, the journey heads toward the Santubong River mouth, where Irrawaddy dolphins may occasionally be seen. Along the way, the boat weaves through mangrove-lined channels, providing chances to spot birds and other wildlife.

As evening nears at the Salak estuary, guests look out for the distinctive proboscis monkey, sometimes visible in small groups resting in riverside trees. After sunset, the river comes alive with the gentle glow of fireflies lighting up the mangroves. With the aid of a torch, keen eyes may also catch the reflective gaze of crocodiles along the banks before the cruise returns under the night sky.
