Semadang Bamboo Rafting
Let’s get back to basic! Bamboo Rafting Package offers a unique and memorable experience with traditional raft along the beautiful river. This is not your typical bamboo raft with wooden chairs for passengers to sit. On this trip, you will use the bamboo-pole to control the direction and speed of the raft the Kampung-style. A bamboo raft is a long, clumsy aquatic vehicle and, with three to four people on board, it’s not always easy to maneuver the beast around the twists and turns of the river but it is still a great way to enjoy the lush tropical forest without having to walk through the jungles. A guide will accompany you throughout your journey. A warm home-cooked lunch will be served at our base camp after a fun day on the river.

Reviews
We tried the bamboo rafting and it was a fantastic experience: it's physically and technically challenging, it connects you back with your primal instincts.
The service from the team is impeccable! They really are fantastic and go all the way to make their guests experience perfect.
We got the feeling of warm local hospitality that really made the whole experience better. From transportation, to equipment, to service, to food, everything was simply perfect!

We chose to do bamboo rafting, although about 2/3rds of the way through I switched to a kayak. Our guide was Luke, who was both very professional and great fun. Our trip was somehow both relaxing and exercise, as we took in the beautiful flora and rocky outcrops along the Semadang river. All of the staff involved had great senses of humour and kept everyone fully entertained. The lunch was delicious, and rather different from food you can find in the city. I'd definitely recommend!

After reading overwhelming reviews about Semadang Kayak, my friends and I decide to opt for this family run company for our bamboo rafting adventure. Our emails were replied promptly by McKenzie and when the day arrived, we were picked up by him from our hotel. The journey took about 40 minutes to the starting point and there, we were greeted by friendly Doring family and the crew.

Read some raving reviews about Semadang Kayaking while researching for best activities in Kuching. Finally decided on Semadang Kayaking as I was extremely impressed by the fact that Nat Geo has actually selected this young company to help with their documentary filming.
