There are basic accommodation facilities at the NP Headquarters, and meals will be prepared for you by your guide.
On the drive to Tanjung Datu you will stop briefly at the coastal fishing villages of Sematan and Telok Melano. From Telok Melano you will continue on to Tanjung Datu by boat, unless you would prefer to hike into the Park while your luggage is sent by boat.
Day 4 – Tanjung Datu National Park (B, L, D)
Spend the day swimming and trekking with your guide. The animal life is wonderfully diverse and combined with the untouched nature of the rainforest, Tanjung Datu really is an environmental paradise making trekking a very special experience.
Apart from the hundreds of bird species, there are 5 species of primates, 3 species of deer, as well as Bearded Pigs, Binturong (Bearcats) and Civet Cats in this park. During the turtle season, it is possible to see the turtles laying their eggs on the beach at night.
The park has a protected nesting hatchery close to the beach. It is also sometimes possible to see dolphins and even whales in this area. There is coral close to the shore making snorkelling enjoyable.
Day 5 – Sematan – Gunung Gading National Park (B, L)
After breakfast, you will leave Tanjung Datu and return to Sematan, where you will visit the Niranur Agro Farm established by a local family to produce organic honey from the famous kelutut stingless bees.
After lunch at Sematan, you will proceed to the Gunung Gading National Park, famous as a conservation zone for the world’s largest flower, the Rafflesia. This rare flower only blooms for between 3 to 5 days, and although your visit to Sarawak may not coincide with a spectacular blooming, the Park guides will take you off the main trails into the rainforest to view the varying stages of the highly unusual and intriguing life cycle of this parasitic plant, which has no roots, leaves, or stem, and cannot self-pollinate!
You will return to Kuching by late afternoon and check in to your hotel.
