The Lemanak River is home to several longhouses of the Iban tribe – the former head hunters of Borneo. You’ll discover that the river provides exceptional scenery of drooping trees overhanging the water & acts as the Iban’s highway to navigate along the river using traditional longboats. You’ll travel from Kuching with stops including the vibrant local market in the town of Serian & a pepper farm. Continue to the Lemanak River to board native longboats & head upriver to arrive at an Iban longhouse, where you’ll meet the Ibans & their families. You’ll later marvel at the skills of the Ibans as they sound their gongs & perform their war dance in full ceremonial regalia. Next, join in a blowpipe demonstration & take a short jungle walk into the surrounding areas before you return to Kuching.
