Waterfalls
Sarawak’s dense forest and varied landscapes are home to some of the most beautiful waterfalls in the world! Most of these unique natural water shows are only reachable by foot, and takes one on a mesmerising journey through undisturbed jungle views. As these waterfalls are relatively remote, it is recommended to hire a guide at a nearby homestay to take you there!
