Sarawak Cultural Village & Semenggoh Orangutan Day Trip
Dayak culture, orangutans & dance in one day
Experience two of Sarawak's most iconic attractions in a single rewarding day — from the living museum of the Sarawak Cultural Village to a face-to-face encounter with wild orangutans at Semenggoh Wildlife Centre.
Your guide collects you from your hotel lobby at 8:30 AM for the 45-minute drive to the Sarawak Cultural Village (SCV). Once inside, you'll wander through seven authentic ethnic houses — the Bidayuh Longhouse, Iban Longhouse, Penan Hut, Orang Ulu Tall House, Melanau Tall House, Malay House, and Chinese Farm House — meeting craftspeople and community members who keep these living traditions alive.
Highlights of the day include:
- 🎭 Cultural Show (11:30 AM) — 45 minutes of traditional dance and music performance
- 🍽️ Lunch at the SCV restaurant
- 🦧 Semenggoh Wildlife Centre — watch semi-wild orangutans come in for their afternoon feeding
After the feeding session, your guide transfers you comfortably back to your hotel by around 5:00 PM. This is one of the most complete introductions to Sarawak's cultural and natural heritage available in a single day.
Cancellation Policy: Free cancellation is available for this tour up to 24 hours before your scheduled pickup time.

via GoogleThe activity started on time, we were picked up from the hotel lobby promptly. Very informative tour during the cultural village, the guide is truly knowledgeable & have foresight. The show was amazing. The food was flavorful & balanced. The Semenggo Tour was fulfilling seeing 3 active Orangutans despite the heat. The whole day tour was well-worth it. Thank you
