Although Borneo has an abundance of nature, it is rich in culture too. The state of Sarawak alone is home to more than 30 ethnic groups. And while Sarawak’s natives were feared for their headhunting practices in the past, they are now known for their warm hospitality. So don’t leave Sarawak without having visited one of the many native villages or longhouses. Whether it’s a daytrip to one of the many Bidayuh villages in the rural areas just outside Kuching, an overnight stay in an Iban longhouse or an adventurous journey to one of the many Orang Ulu villages in the interior of Sarawak, this cultural experience will grant you unforgettable memories!”
Sarawak’s history is so unique, it sounds like right out of a fairy tale book with stories of rich sultanates and oppressive rulers, headhunters and pirates, European adventurers and the “White Rajahs”. All over Sarawak, a multitude of historical sites, religious buildings and heritage grounds can be found. And especially in Kuching, one can get a good glimpse into Sarawak’s interesting past by visiting one of the many outstanding museums. Join a guided tour to learn more about those bygone eras, as well as the more recent past up until today!
Thanks to the many different ethnicities, Sarawak boasts an incredible array of native crafts and tribal arts. We offer different hands-on activities, which will allow you to gain a better knowledge and appreciation of Borneo’s traditional arts and crafts. At the same time, you will get an insight into the life and cultural heritage of the locals, as art and crafts are a significant way to express culture. Depending on your interest, we can arrange weaving or basketry-plaiting classes, bead-making or pottery lessons, batik painting and many more. Or maybe you would like to learn how to play the Sape – the traditional music instrument of the Orang Ulus!
The exotic tropical flora & fauna, the multi-cultural population of diverse ethnic groups and the unique history – all these influences are reflected in Sarawak’s kaleidoscope of food and flavours. Venture with us on a culinary exploration and sample some of Kuching’s signature dishes!
