Conquering Mount Santubong: A Local Favorite Hiking Trail in Kuching
#hikingtrails #100waysoftravel #kuching #sarawak #santubong
One of the favorite hiking trails for locals in Kuching is the challenging trek up Mount Santubong. Rising 810 meters above sea level, the trail offers a rewarding experience, with lush rainforest, diverse wildlife, and stunning views of the South China Sea. The hike starts with a moderate incline but quickly turns steep, requiring ropes and ladders to navigate rocky terrain. I almost felt half-dead tackling the tough sections, but the hidden waterfalls and tropical birds along the way kept me going. Reaching the summit, with its breathtaking panoramic views, brought an overwhelming sense of satisfaction, making every step worth it.
Exploring the Untouched Beauty of Satang Island: Dolphins, Snorkeling, and Turtle Conservation
#islandtour #100waysoftravel #borneo #sarawak #kuching #Satangisland #dolphin #snorkelling #santubong
Our visit to Satang Island in Kuching was an unforgettable adventure. This peaceful island, nestled near the coastline of Borneo, is renowned for its crystal-clear waters, white sandy beaches, and abundant marine life. We began our journey early, meeting at the jetty at 8:30 AM, with high hopes for dolphin spotting. To our delight, we were lucky enough to catch sight of three Irrawaddy dolphins from a distance, making the trip even more special. As we approached Bird Island, we were greeted by the sight of countless birds soaring around the island, adding to the serene beauty of the place.
Once on Satang Island, we had the chance to snorkel in the clear waters, exploring the rich underwater world. Our guide even let us try fresh sea urchin, which was an unexpected treat! The island is also known for its role as a turtle conservation center, with basic amenities and simple toilets. While facilities were modest, the island's charm and natural beauty made up for it. We had packed our own lunch and made sure to clean up thoroughly before leaving, ensuring we left the pristine island just as we found it. Satang Island is truly a hidden gem, offering a tranquil escape into nature.

Escape to Damai Beach Resort...
Location : Damai Beach Resort Santubong Sarawak...
To reach here, I travelled approximately 1 hour from Kuching International Airport via rented car. Nice resort at the beach! Rooms with huge space to place my luggages and move freely. The rooms have great view, comfortable and aircondition well functioned, though some may need refurbishment. Really enjoyed beach walk and evening sunset. A place to be considered as travel bucket list if you are planning to visit Kuching Sarawak#staycation #awesomepic #couplestrip#stressfree#beachescape#santubong#sarawak#summervacation#beaches
