Sarawak, a Malaysian state in northeastern Borneo, provides a vivid snapshot of the island’s rich cultural and natural heritage. Taking the state capital of Kuching as our launchpad, this 8-day cycling adventure traverses the surrounding hinterlands, wetlands, jungles, and beaches for a taste of what Asia’s largest island has to offer.
Meeting in Kuching, the tour begins with a warm-up ride through the city’s mosaic of riverside quarters, from British-colonial buildings to Chinese temples and Malay markets. We then dart off into the countryside, spending our days cycling along quiet back country roads that pass plantations, rainforests, rice fields, villages, and waterways. Off-saddle highlights include spending the night in a traditional Bidayuh longhouse village, kayaking on the Sarawak River and encountering orangutans at the world-renowned Semenggoh Nature Reserve. We also discover old-world charm in the small town of Siniawan and spend two nights at a resort on the picturesque Santubong Peninsula, an area where jungle-meets-ocean in dramatic fashion! The tour ends back in Kuching.
