Hi, I am planning on going to Kuching in July and want to book a couple of trips before i get there (so that i have something planned). Everywhere i have looked says they only take 2 person bookings. Can anyone recommend a good private tour guide for me?. I am planning on at least visitin Bako national park and Kubah National Park whilst i am there.

Hi Can anyone please give me an e-mail address of a car hire company in Kuching? I've only been able to get hold of Mayflower and for just one day they're going to charge RM291 - expensive in any city! Otherwise it'll be public transport. Cheers

Hi, I enjoyed Kayakking 11 km along Semenggoh River during my Kuching trip in July earlier this year. My Rainforest kakis & I will be back next July 2013 & we were hoping to do White Water Rafting this time. Who the reliable White Water Rafting operators in Sarawak we could link up with ? 2nd query => we would like to go to a proper native spa to do some Sarawak specialty treatments. Any good recommendations for this & would they have a link/website we could check ? Lastly => we would like to do a day climb up & down Mt. Santubong, maybe start in the morning & finish in the evening, along with pick-up & return to hotel. Any safe & reliable operators to recommend for this ? Thanks in advance to all members who can assist us with these queries. Cheers.

Hello fellow travellers! Any idea if there's any chance of birdwatching in Mulu National Park? We are going there for the caves, but I am particularily interested in photographing kingfishers. Most of the birdwatching places seem to be located in eastern Sabah, but I don't really have time to go there, plus I am not that interested in primates and elephants most of the people go there to see, just the birds.. there must be something closer? So, what are the chances of stalking some birds in Sarawak?

Hi all, I'm in the midst planning for my trip to Kuching in March next year. Initially it was a tour-around-city plan, but now it expands and I'm thinking of visiting Bako National Park and Damai Beach as well. Just a few quick questions: 1) Is there any local tour operator that provide tour to Bako and/or Damai (plus Orang Utan Sanctuary) for ONE pax? 2) My plan is to visit Sarawak Cultural Village before proceed to Bako National Park and will then stay overnight at Bako National Park. Same question again, is it safe for tourist travel alone? any tour guides provided by the Park management? How's the charges like? 3) For destination above, is there any transportation included back and fro Kuching city, which is value-for-money for ONE pax? Thanks for all your help!!

after i arrive at the train station from kota kinabalu. where and what transportation could i take to go to miri?

need write letter for the approved before going thr??
