This promotional package brings you to Kuching, the capital of Sarawak, and former seat of the White Rajah. This package includes 2 nights accommodation with daily breakfast, airport transfers and a half day tour of this marvelous city. Extension stays are available at special discounted rates.

The tour of Kuching will take you around what was known as the Kingdom of Sarawak during the first White Rajah's reign. It includes both modern and historical landmarks, including Chinatown, the city's Cat Statue (the Malay word for cat is Kuching), and the famous Sarawak Museum. Trace the legacy of the White Rajahs as you view buildings like Fort Margherita and the Astana, their former residence by the river. Also in the tour are the important buildings during the White Rajahs' era – the Pavilion, the Square Tower, the Court House, the Charles Brooke Monument and the Post Office.

You will also have some free time that you can spend leisurely during the duration of your visit. Here are some suggestions on how to occupy your time in Kuching.

While Kuching now is a bustling and modern city, it has not forgotten its exotic origins. The Sarawak river that runs through the city still serves as an important transportation route, and offers a unique tourist experience. Many visitors opt for a river cruise during their visit to Kuching, and those who are pressed for time still make the effort to take a short trip on one of the river taxis that ply the river. In the evenings, the riverfront becomes a lovely spectacle, offering many beautiful sights as you stroll along the promenade.

The Sarawak Cultural Village is the perfect place for those who are interested in Sarawak's diverse cultures, especially the various indigenous tribes. Located conveniently near the city, the Sarawak Cultural Village also hosts the famous Rainforest World Music Festival. For nature lovers, Bako National Park lies just 45 minutes from Kuching. One of the smaller national parks in the country, Bako National Park teems with a veritable assortment of plants and wildlife, making it a great destination for first-time visitors. The entrance to the park is one of the most interesting, as it includes a boat ride through some amazing rock formations that rise from the sea.
