This was such a fun, unique way to explore Kuching. Although we booked Package C (Semenggoh, kayaking, and longhouse), I'd recommend Pkg B... the longhouse really didn't add much to the experience, aside from an additional 2 hrs of driving. Booking was handled seamlessly via email. The van was about 20 min late picking us up from our hotel, but... More

Given the glowing reviews I had read before deciding on Borneo Trek & Kayak Adventure (aka Rainforest Kayak), I was, to say the least, surprised with the quality of the tour that greeted us. The specific package we chose was Package C which included Semengoh, river kayaking and the longhouse. While the email booking process was efficient and the vehicle... More

My husband and I would thoroughly recommend package B (Semenggoh and Kayaking). Our first impression was excellent when Ivy handled our booking via email with no fuss. We were very impressed with the high level of organisation and safety and the entire day was seamless. Our guide, Asin was brilliant - he is a local from the Dyack village and... More

Booking my day trip (semenggoh and kayaking) with Ivy was quick and fuss-free via email before my arrival. The guide Mr Asin was very knowledgeable and obliging, and he captured lots of good pic shots with his cam so no need for us to fumble with our cams. I had a great day out and Ivy personally hand delivered the... More

We went with our two children, ages 5 and 7, and we all loved this trip. Booking was very easy via the web site and emails with Ivy. We were picked up on time and went to the Semenggoh Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre, where we saw several orag utans. Then, we went to the river. All the kayaking is downstream and... More

The opportunity to spend a day with in the rainforest kayaking was very appealing and we booked it in advance of arriving through the website - Rainforestkayaking.com We were picked up at 9am from our hotel in central Kuching and told we were the only people on the...

Jackson and Ivy (http://rainforestkayaking.com/), who organise these trips are very professional and from the pick up at the hotel until the late afternoon when you are back everything is perflectly arranged. It was an amazing experience that started with the Orang Utans at Semenggoh and then continued in the hills of Borneo. The river was calm, so it really is... More

If you don't have long in Sarawak this is a great day trip out of Kuching. We took a trip that included the orangutan sanctuary, kayaking (about 11kms) and a visit to the Annah Rais longhouse in the highlands. The trip's easy to organize through any of the local tour operators. The website is www.rainforest kayaking.com. It seems like there... More

This was a very well managed and professional kayak adventure. The equipment was well maintained and clean. Safety was important and two guides went along in their own kayaks, one in front of our party (there were 4 couples, each intheir own kayak) and one in back to insure we were safe. The guides let us set the pace..... The... More
