What's this trip about?

    The Malaysian jungle conjures up images of intrepid explorers, dense tropical rainforest, a dazzling array of exotic wildlife, and indigenous communities expertly adapted to life in harmony with this captivating, biodiverse ecosystem. And, of course, there are our distant cousins - the orangutans - who roam these lands! On this week-long cycling adventure of the jungle-clad state of Sarawak we'll experience the best of the island's wild and rural sides. The trip starts in the state capital of Kuching. Here we'll also warm up our legs with a leisurely ride around the town, where old world charm meets new world buzz. The following day we'll head to Semenggoh Nature Reserve for our first taste of the jungle and to spend some time with rehabilitated orangutans at feeding time. From here on out it's full throttle cycling along quiet back county roads that crisscross lush plantations, rainforests, rice fields, charming villages, and impressive geological formations. Off-saddle highlights include kayaking along the Sarawak River, a longhouse tour in Annah Rais, exploring the "Fairy Caves", discovering the Chinese heritage town of Siniawan, and enjoying an adventurous night-safari in Kubah National Park. The final two days of riding are along coastal routes where jungle-meets-ocean and we spend time on some gorgeous beaches. The tour ends back in Kuching. Join us in exploring Malaysia's wild side in Sarawak!

Travel Map

Day 1

We meet you at the airport, and once settled in at the hotel, we use our favourite vehicles to explore the city. We bike to Kuching's oldest Chinese temple and continue along the river to the Astana, visiting the residence of the Governor of Sarawak.

Day 2

Our day starts with a visit to Semenggoh Nature Reserve, home for injured and orphaned orangutans. Then we cycle back roads through plantations, forests, rice fields, and farming villages. We finish the ride at Annah Rais where we’ll get a tour of a traditional longhouse.

Day 3

We cycle through beautiful scenery to the Sarawak River and trade pedals for paddles. It’s a relaxing kayak downstream to a riverside campsite for lunch. Then it's back on the bikes to ride to Siniawan, a town dotted with Chinese wooden houses.

Day 4

The road is flat but windy today, making it an easy and fun ride. We follow the ridge of Mt. Kubah to the edge of Kubah National Park. In the evening, we embark on a night safari in search of Bornean frogs.

Day 5

We have a long ride today as we cycle along the coast to Lundu. At Gunung Gading National Park, we stop for a dip in a waterfall or an optional jungle hike before riding to our beach resort.

Day 6

Head out on a dirt backroad to the old trading post of Sematan. We arrive at the beach in time for lunch and have the afternoon free.

Day 7

Enjoy the beach before we drive back to Kuching and our farewell dinner.

Day 8

Depart Sarawak for a flight back home or you can extend your stay in Borneo.

SpiceRoads Cycling believes there's no better way to see the world than by bicycle. Because travel is about the journey and everything it encompasses, never just the destination. Experiencing the moment and place intensely, not chasing the next must-see sight. Discovering new things about the world, and yourself. Then returning home with experiences that remind you of what it means to be alive.

Since 1995 we've been sharing our passion for travelling by bicycle. Curating extraordinary cycle adventures in over 30 countries that give you the opportunity to get up close and personal with remarkable cultures, characters and landscapes in a way that no ordinary tour could.

We offer rides all over the world, on every type of terrain, for all ages and experience. From classic tours to epic cross-country voyages, SpiceRoads adventures are for anyone who believes what we always have…

That nothing good ever happened inside a comfort zone. That immersing yourself in different cultures teaches you things you would never learn in a textbook. That you get out of life precisely what you put in. And that travelling isn't just about seeing the world, it's about changing how you see it.
