After living in Kuching for over a year, we decided to give kayaking a go in one of the nearby spots. We booked by email the day before and the process was efficient and simple. Everything was well prepared, the pickup ride was clean and comfortable. Our guides Macqueen and Matthew were awesome.

We went with the kayaking + caving option.We began with kayking for 6km to our lunch break spot, then continue with the kayak for a bit more to our caving spot, and another 5km kayak to the end of our adventure. Lunch provided was delicious, one of the better ayam pansuh we had. The cave was interesting, it's quite hidden so you do have to trek abit. We get to see alot of bats, birdsnest and beautiful limestone walls.

The water was low so the water was pretty calm. We were able to enjoy the beautfiul scenery while paddling. The guides also told stories and interesting things about the surrounding nature.

Definitely recommended to anyone who's visiting Kuching

It was really fun and mind relaxing whilst kayaing down river engulf with beautiful scenery, Had the opportunity to observe the Taggang System or fish conservation where countless of fishes comes feeding from your hand. The Guides are very friendly and helpful especially to elders.

Semadang Kayak is I think the only operator in Kuching that accepts solo traveller. The others requires min 2 or 3 to go. Did the Semadang Discovery Kayaking & Semenggoh Orang Utan package and it was fantastic and highly recommend to those with great sense of adventure and ready to rough it out! We were told that water level this year was lower than last year so there are areas where we have to carry and push our kayaks. The guides and McQueen did a great job and the Bidayuh lunch was really delicious. Thank you everyone!

This trip was so much fun. Beautiful scenery and the guide McQueen was excellent The light to moderate rapids we a thrill The food stop tasted great and trip through the little village was good. One of the great this is the the guide to photos through the whole trip for great memories to share. Highly recommend this tour! Your stuff is likely to get wet, so bring a change of cloths and a dry-bag if you have one.

The most fun you'll have in Sarawak! The guides are such a laugh and so entertaining, I spent the whole ride laughing (when I wasn't crashing - the water is a bit choppy in places but that makes it so much fun kayak!).

The scenery is divine, and the lunch is delicious. It's great that they take photos so you don't need to take a camera.

Can't recommend this enough if you enjoy kayaking or want to give it a go.
