A Family Adventure: Hiking to Jangkar Waterfall

Last weekend, my brothers and I embarked on a memorable hiking trip with my two energetic children, aged 6 and 7. Our destination was the renowned Jangkar Waterfall nestled in the picturesque Sematan area of Kuching. Excitement filled the air as we set off early in the morning, eager for a day of exploration and bonding amidst nature. The trail began gently through a rubber plantation, the morning sun filtering through the canopy above. Accompanying us was a friendly local dog whose curiosity matched our own adventure spirit. As we descended, the anticipation grew for the crystal-clear waters that awaited us at Jangkar Waterfall. Halfway through, we faced an unexpected twist — we missed a trail turn and found ourselves navigating through the waterway instead of the jungle path. Large boulders challenged our footing, but with teamwork and laughter, we managed to forge ahead. The children, despite the occasional stumble, were thrilled by the adventure, their faces lighting up with each n...

Exploring the Wonders of Bako National Park: A Family Adventure

Nestled on a peninsula accessible only by boat, Bako National Park in Kuching beckoned us with promises of untouched nature and breathtaking vistas. Our overnight trip to this pristine wilderness turned out to be a perfect blend of adventure, challenges, and unforgettable moments as a family. We started our journey bright and early, a group of seven including myself, my two brothers, my wife, and our two spirited children. The day was already warming up as our boat cruised along Sungai Tabo, eventually leading us out into the expansive South China Sea. The 15-minute boat ride from the jetty to the park HQ was a scenic introduction to the wonders awaiting us. After a quick registration at the park HQ, we settled into our cozy hostel room, eager to begin our exploration. Our first hiking choice was the Telok Pandan Kecil trail, a 2.5km trek from the HQ. As we set off, the heat of the day bore down on us, challenging even the most resilient among us. Along the trail, my little girl voiced...

And are not afraid of human at all :O The Borneo Explorer Wilson Chin (me)

The Bungai Beach (Pantai Bungai) @ Bekenu, Miri

I'm at the Bungai Beach, is a family day :) this beach is a 40 minutes drive from the Miri town.   Just like Buntal Village at Kuching , this place is a fisherman village too. But the good thing about this beach is that it is very clean. The water is crystal clear, and the ocean is green blue in colour. I seldom see such clean ocean in Sarawak. Normally is a but muddy.   The the beach cost line is like a few kilometer long.    I like this beach because it has a lot of big tress on the cost line, and I went there around 10am that day, we all just picnic under the trees shade. Without worrying the hot sun :)   And here it also has lots of jelly fish, some is huge!!! it give me the goose bum when seeing the jelly fish's back. Few years back (the first time encounter jelly fish), my brother and I went to a beach, and caught a few jelly fish, but we got stunk by it, and after that never in our life we dare to get close to ...
