Satang Island Cruise

Duration - Full Day

Fisherman and Irrawaddy Dolphin

Drive from Kuching for about 45 mins in the direction of Damai Beach. Board a small boat and begin your cruise to the mouth of the Salak River. You should be able to spot the elusive and rare schools of Irawaddy dolphins which are quite common in this area.

Head out to the South China Sea for Satang Island. The island is part of the Talang/Satang National Park where a turtle conservation project is located on the island. Green Turtles and the rare Hawksbill Turtles often lay their eggs here. Look in on the hatchery to get an idea of conservation work being carried out on these highly endangered sea creatures.

Spend time on the island's white sandy beach or go snorkelling. You will be able to enjoy the corals and the marine life in the crystalline waters off the island.

A packed lunch and refreshments will be provided. Retrace your journey back to Kuching in the mid-afternoon, arriving back at your city hotel by about 17.00 hrs. Note: This tour is suspended during the monsoon season (from November to March) due to rough sea conditions.
