Worth the splurge  No pic at the moment -- Sorry!  What we say:
4.5 stars  If you're keen to experience breathtaking primary
jungle without going all the way to Borneo's interior, an
organised kayaking tour out of Kuching is a great way to do it.
The trip typically starts with pick-up from your accommodation
at 09:00, followed by a scenic 45-minute drive to the river that
takes you past stunning limestone cliffs. Before setting off in
the kayak, you're given a safety briefing and life jacket, as
well as being asked to sign a disclaimer form.  Then begins a
peaceful and exhilarating 11-kilometre paddle down a calm, wide
river studded on either side by pristine rainforest that's often
shrouded in mist. Landowners along the entire stretch of river
are committed to conserving the area's old growth forests, and
we've never experienced such a spectacular jungle outside of
Borneo's interior. Perfect for kayaking beginners, the
difficulty level is low and thrill seekers hoping for white
water might be disappointed.
