Have you ever wanted to watch dolphins without having to travel abroad? Well, now you have the chance to explore this majestic marine life right here in Sarawak, Borneo, Malaysia! On my fifth dolphin trip last week, I was lucky enough to have a truly unforgettable experience.
For those who are interested, I would highly recommend booking a tour with a registered tour agent in Kuching or an experienced boatman in Santubong. As these are wild animals, there is no guarantee that they will make an appearance during your trip, but your boatman can ensure that you have a fascinating wildlife experience.
We set off from the fishing village of Santubong, located at the foot of the majestic Santubong Mountain, and headed towards Bako National Park. Here, we were lucky enough to spot the rare Indo-Pacific Humpback dolphin. These dolphins change colour as they get older, and when they are young they have a speckled appearance, becoming pinker as they age. This species is found in shallow tropical waters and feeds on fish, octopus, and squid.
