Sarawak Cultural Village Half-Day Trip
Seven ethnic communities, one living museum
Step into Sarawak's extraordinary cultural tapestry at the award-winning Sarawak Cultural Village — a sprawling 17-acre living museum that lets you experience every major ethnic group in the state in a single, unhurried visit.
Wander through authentically reconstructed homes and settlements representing the Bidayuh, Iban, Orang Ulu, Penan, Melanau, Malay, and Chinese communities. Each building is staffed by community members in traditional costume, carrying out age-old crafts and daily activities. Resident storytellers bring each culture to life — and are happy to pose for photos.
Highlights include:
- Iban, Bidayuh & Orang Ulu longhouses
- A Penan jungle settlement and a towering Melanau tall-house
- A Malay townhouse with traditional top-spinning court
- A Chinese farmhouse and pagoda
- A live multicultural dance performance in the on-site theatre
Your hotel pickup is included, along with an English-speaking guide and entrance fee. There is also a restaurant and handicraft shop on-site for browsing before or after the tour.
