Santubong, Kuching

Santubong is a peninsula about 32 km north of Kuching. It is located beside the mouth of the Santubong River. The place has a nice bay that curves below the jagged Gunung Santubong. Santubong is a place that residents as well as visitors to Kuching go for good seafood. The fishing villages of Santubong on the west coast and Kampung Buntal on the east coast of the Santubong Peninsula have a few seafood restaurants, some perched on stilts over the water of the Santubong River. If you are extremely lucky, you may even sight Irrawaddy Dolphins in the river.

Perhaps the most famous sight at Santubong is the Sarawak Cultural Village. However, there is more to Santubong, and I am listing its sights on this page for you to explore.

Getting there

To reach Santubong and Kampung Buntal, you can take the Petra Jaya Bus No. 2D from Kuching. Fare is RM1.50. The same trip by taxi costs about RM20-RM25.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
