Sarawak River Cruise

Sitting by the waterfront I noticed at a distance the cruise boat bringing tourists to enjoy the evening sunset was moving slowing through the calm waters of the Sarawak River. Time was approximately 5.30 pm.
It passed by a mammoth building under construction. Once completed it will function as the new Sarawak Legislative Assembly building here called Dewan Undangan Negeri or DUN in short. The Kuching waterfront area has plenty of attractions for tourists to see and experience. The slow moving river keeps me reminded of the regular need to step back from the hustle and bustle of city madness. Go holiday .

Cruising by the Sarawak River

The Sarawak river cruise boat is parked at the pontoon by the Kuching waterfront area. The late afternoon sun casts its silver rays on the still waters of the Sarawak river and against the backdrop of hotels and apartment buildings that line up the waterfront area.

Some foreign and local tourists are aboard on the top deck of the cruise boat admiring the scenery. The cruise boat operator charges RM 48 per pax for a two hours journey along the river to see the sunset, river scenery,food and drinks and music and dance performances on the boat.
Tourists by the bus loads line up to board the cruise boat in the late afternoon sun i.e. around 5.00 pm.
