Duration: 2 Days 1 Night

Tucked away on the upper reaches of Sungai Bunut in the Miri Division is Loagan Bunut, which was gazetted as a National Park in 1991. Named by the local Berawan (one of the ethnic tribes of Sarawak) fishermen. Loagan Bunut is home to Sarawaks largest natural lake covering an area of 650 hectares of the 10,736 hectares of the National Park.

The traditional method of Selambau fishing Is still practiced by the Berawans till today! a technique developed by the fishermen to harvest the migrating fish during the fluctuating water levels. A rich variety of flora and fauna composed mainly of peat swamp forest supports a large and varied bird life In the area.

In the months of February to June, the lake's water level drops drastically and Is exceptionally spectacular to witness the Selambau fishing carried out during this time, the whole lake becomes a vast expanse of dry cracked mud.

To reach this destination we drive towards Bakong with a stop over for lunch. Our journey continues through the countryside, dotted by oil palm plantations, several longhouses and small villages to Sungoi Ulap. We then take a boat ride, which takes around 90 minutes before we arrive in Loagan Bunut territory around late afternoon. Try your luck at fishing! Dinner will be catch of the day.

Next morning, we have an early start and cruise around the lake for bird watching. There is some interesting bird life in the early mornings! and you can witness them going about their morning rituals by the lake territory.

Return to the chalet for breakfast and prepare for the return journey to back to Miri.
