Satang Island + Dolphin Watching + Mangrove 3 in 1

You will meet your guide in the hotel lobby and drive approximately 30-40mins where you will board a boat for a 25minutes ride along the Coastline to the Mangroves of Sarawak. Somewhere near the mount of Santubong, Salak Rivers, the Irrawaddy Dolphin (rare and unusual mammals) are quite easy spotted during dry season from April to October but less sightings during the wet season.

You will stop at the river mouth for an approximate 45 minutes ride in search for the Irrawaddi (or Snubfin) Dolphins. Observe the dolphins while they swimming around the boats of the local fishermen in search for food. After this fascinating experience, proceed with the boat along the mangrove forest in search for Saltwater Crocodiles which can sometimes be seen on the Riverbank.

Another 45 minutes ride will bring you afterwards to the Satang Islands located off the coast of Santubong. Together with the Talang-Talang Islands that are located off the coast of Sematan, these two locations are the only major marine turtle nesting sites in Sarawak. During the “turtle season” from May to September, Green Turtles come ashore at night to lay their eggs and rest in the surrounding waters before and in between landings (nesting period May - September). Packed lunch is provided on the island.

Enjoy the beautiful view from the island, relax at the beach or go for a swim or snorkel in the clear water. On the return boat ride, we will pass by “Bird’s Rock”. We will slowly pass by the rock for a better impression of this rocky islet which is an important rookery for Black-naped and Bridled terns (nesting period May - September). After the tour, return to hotel.
