The Great Iban Longhouse Experience

This action-packed three-day tour will take you right into the heart of Borneo, giving you the unique opportunity to experience being a part of the Iban tribe: the former head hunters of Borneo! Fortunately, these days the Iban have adopted a peaceful agrarian lifestyle, so this is a great chance to experience their tradition of warm hospitality to all visitors. You will be welcomed in the longhouse which is the traditional dwelling of the Iban and an amazing experience in itself.

Before you arrive at the homes of the Iban, you will have the chance to purchase some mementoes of your trip from the Lachau Bazaar, home to shops and a small native market. Pick up a trinket to remind yourself of your adventure long after you've returned home!

Don't leave your walking boots behind: you'll have the chance to trek up the jungle trails alongside the river, taking in all of the sights and sounds of the nature which surrounds you. Hiking completed, you'll head off up the river to see the scenic Enseluai Waterfall, maybe even witnessing your boatman stop and demonstrate the traditional Iban method of net fishing if the weather permits.

Whether it be wildlife or a cultural experience you are looking for, this three-day trip packs it all in. You'll be travelling up and down the river watching the abundance of life on the riverbanks before meeting up with two different groups and hopefully making some friends. You'll be so busy you won't have a chance to catch a breath!
