Great place to visit, I felt that I have visited one village to another village in the whole of Sarawak in half day. It was a great experience to witness the different cultures of people in Sarawak. The staffs (the ones stationed in the house and wearing their cultural costume) are very friendly. We were also given a passport for... More

At 60 ringet it's one of the more expensive attractions however the drive out to the village is great as well as the experience, its nice not to feel like an intruder but still seeing the different houses and cultures, the cultural show is fantastic and a great way to cool down, try the blowpipe, try a dance. Friendly people... More

I would say this is indeed a very interesting place to visit. You can see traditional houses in the lush greenery and some of the people clad in their traditional costumes. Another big plus eil be the cultural show, the teather is very comfortable with air-cond and the show i would say is impressive. One thing that i dislike was... More

While the village was interesting and the show fun, it was overpriced and not that interesting compared to the actual village of Annah Rais. Also the show is a carbon copy of the free cultural show in downtown Kuching every Saturday. Watch the free show, visit Annah Rais, and skip the cultural village More

If you dont have time to go up the river for the real experience,this place is the closest to it. Experience the cultural shows and the lifestyle in the longhouses since this is a living museum. More
