Overview
Discover Sarawak’s rich river and mangrove wildlife on this Santubong Dolphin Tour, a guided cruise along the Santubong Peninsula that offers the opportunity to observe multiple iconic species in their natural habitat. Departing from the Sarawak Boat Club, the journey heads towards the mouth of the Santubong River, an area where Irrawaddy dolphin sightings have often been reported, before continuing into mangrove-lined waterways that support a diverse ecosystem.
Timed from late afternoon into evening, the tour captures a dusk-to-night wildlife transition, when animal activity is at its most dynamic. Along the riverbanks, keep watch for Proboscis monkeys gathering in treetops, crocodiles resting or moving through the water, and, as night falls, fireflies illuminating the mangroves. Combining river cruising, mangrove exploration, and wildlife spotting in one continuous experience, this tour is an ideal short nature escape for visitors looking to add a rewarding wildlife encounter to their Kuching itinerary.
