Breakfast at the hotel. Morning visit to Semenggoh Wildlife Centre. Unlike in a zoo, the orangutans are free to roam in this 653-hectare forest reserve. Here, young and adolescent orangutans are trained and equipped with the right skills for survival in the wild. Witness their delicate nests, nimble treetop acrobatics and the nuances of their feeding behavior. The guide will provide in-depth insights into the distinct behavior and characteristics of this unique primate otherwise known as ‘man of the forest’. Continue the journey to visit Crocodile Farm & Mini Zoo. Nestled within lush greenery, the farm serves as sanctuary for more than 1,000 saltwater and freshwater crocodiles, within enclosures designed to best mimic their natural habitat. During feeding time, witness their mighty powers in action. Beyond these creatures, here you will also find animals such as bearcats, pythons, peacocks, otters, and the magnificent Arapaima Gigas, the world’s largest freshwater fish. Evening, proceed for Sarawak Sunset River Cruise. Cruise along the Sarawak River, retracing James Brooke’s first arrival in Sarawak, while taking in the sunset and nighttime views of the city’s diverse phases.

This living scenery offers a glimpse into Kuching’s rich history and way of life. After tour, transfer back to the hotel for overnight.

早餐后，前往参观实蒙谷野生动物保育中心，距离古晋市区车程约 30 分钟，为最靠近市区的热带雨林，而这片原始的雨林，原本就是砂拉越州人猿的其中一个家。由于环境及自然生态的变化，砂拉越州内一些稀有动物已面临绝种的危机，尤其是原产于婆罗洲岛及苏门答腊的红毛猩猩，数量已较十年前减少一半，故州政府便在实蒙谷成立一个专门护育野生动物的组织，以人工的饲养方式，再加上人员的教导与训练，促使这些红毛猩猩更加懂得如何在自然界中生存与繁殖。这里不是把人猿关在笼子里的动物园，而是人猿可以自由来去的家。意思时你未必看得见人猿，你只求可以遇见牠。接着，前往参观鳄鱼养殖场。距离古晋市区约 40 分钟车程，为砂拉越最大的鳄鱼养殖场。养殖场坐落在郁郁葱葱的绿树之中，是 1,000 多条咸水和淡水鳄鱼的庇护所。其围栏的设计最能模仿它们的自然栖息地。在喂食时间，见证它们的强大力量。除了这些生物之外，您还可以在这里发现熊猫、蟒蛇、孔雀、水獭以及巨大的巨骨舌鱼（世界上最大的淡水鱼）等动物。之后，前往畅游砂拉越河畔。从砂拉越河滨公园开始，坐上豪华，安全又舒适的游艇，一直沿着砂拉越河两岸行驶。繁华先进, 但却优雅朴实的城市尽入眼帘。从河上观赏古晋市，的确另具一番风味，尤其是两岸不同的景观，一边高丛直立的大厦、古老街坊和庙宇，以及忙碌的车子和行人，与另一边朴实且又传统的马来乡村，形成各有千秋的景色。而不断穿梭于砂拉越河两岸的马来传统舢舨，以及在河上垂钓、洗衣、嬉水的居民，更与繁华先进的城市相映成趣。在游艇上一边感受河畔美景，一边吃喝聊天，加上精彩舞蹈表演，此良辰美景，让您完全融入忘记时间的砂拉越假期。行程结束后, 回返酒店休息。

Breakfast at the hotel. Morning check-out and visit to CAT MUSEUM. It was founded in 1993. It is owned by the Kuching North City Hall (DBKU). There are 2000 exhibits, artifacts, statues about cats from all over the world. Continue visit to SARAWAK CULTURAL VILLAGE. The Village, also known as the “Living Museum”, is a kaleidoscope of Sarawak’s rich cultures and time-honoured traditions. Explore seven authentic ethnic house replicas: the Chinese Farm House, Malay Stilted House, Melanau Tall House, Penan Hut, and Longhouses of the Iban, Bidayuh, and Orang Ulu ethnic groups. Within these dwellings, you will find countless artefacts crafted by their respective ethnic inhabitants. As you roam the village, witness live arts and crafts demonstrations such as beadwork, wood and bamboo carvings, “pua” weaving, and straw weaving. Before you leave, be sure not to miss the captivating cultural performances by various ethnic groups at the Village Theatre. After tour, check in to Damai Beach Resort for check in & overnight.

早餐后，前往参观猫博物馆。參觀全國獨一無二的貓博物館。各式各樣的貓兒成列，是古晉的吉祥物喔！並展示有各種貓造型雕塑品、飾品和圖畫，生動有趣。貓館收藏近三千餘件，分別由各國政府捐贈的與貓相關的展品，其中最負盛名的是埃圾政府捐獻的 “古埃圾出土的貓木乃伊”。 之后，前往参观砂拉越文化村。距离古晋市区车程约 45 分钟，占地 14 英亩的砂拉越文化村，为砂拉越州内各个民族传统习俗及文化生活的缩影。村内共有七种建构不同的实体模型屋，都是依据各民族传统房屋的格式，再以原始的方式建成。而且建材亦是使用自然界垂手可得的竹子、黄藤、树皮、棕榈叶、木材等作为材料。参观各民族传统房屋的同时，亦可听见四处传来阵阵的鼓声，锣声及悠扬的 “沙贝” 声。这都是各民族以传统的方式迎接客人的到访。村内盛装的民族艺人，亦在忙着蘑米、刻制木雕、编织手工艺品、烧煮各种传统食品，若与他们共同研究与学习，感觉就如与各民族一起生活一般。而在剧场内长达 45 分钟的传统舞蹈表演，更是让人感觉犹兴未尽。行程结束后, 前往达迈海边度假村登记入住。
