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.

Itinerary

1. Sarawak
Departing from the Sarawak Boat Club, the cruise glides toward the open waters near Santubong, where the river widens and wildlife sightings are always a possibility. With a bit of luck, Irrawaddy dolphins may surface nearby. The route winds through quiet mangrove channels, creating opportunities to spot birds and other river-dwelling creatures along the banks. As evening approaches near the Salak estuary, attention turns to one of Borneo’s most iconic primates — the proboscis monkey. These elusive animals are sometimes seen perched high in the riverside trees as they gather in small family groups before nightfall. When night settles in, the river reveals a different kind of magic. Fireflies illuminate the mangroves with soft, rhythmic flashes, while the boat ventures upstream to observe this natural light show. A careful watch along the water’s edge may also reveal crocodiles, their presence betrayed by glowing eyes reflecting torchlight.The cruise returns under the cover of darknes.
