My excitement to visit the SCV turned to disappointment :( The place was not maintained. There was nothing much to see - visit one longhouse and you've seen them all. One good attraction there was the cultural show which was quite entertaining. For an entrance fee of RM60 plus RM20 for transport, I should've gone on the Sarawak Cruise for... More

I was so much looking forward to see this place and learn about the different cultures and traditions but it was a huge disappointment for me. I entered at two o clock hoping to have enough time to explore the whole place (before the show starts at 4). Soon I discovered there is not much to see, only enter a... More

We spent over two hours here and enjoyed our visit. There is a lot see here which is all about how the various peoples in the region lived. Do make sure you have enough to drink as there is a fair amount walking outside involved.

Such a great way to see and experience some of the local cultures and living arrangements. If you don't have time to go to the Longhouses deep in the jungle then this is a perfect place to go. The cultural show was also very interesting.

This is another of the main things to do in Sarawak. Not necessarily a must, but definitely worth a visit. I didn't realise that there were so many tribes, and it was very interesting hearing about them, their locations in the Sarawak region and how they live their lives. The houses are all very different, but I would say that... More

I would highly recommend you - first timers to Kuching - to first visit this place before anywhere else. This Cultural Village (CV) will bring you to a different world, where you will learn about the unique cultures in Sarawak. This is also where the famous Borneo Rainforest World Musical Festival is held every year. The entrance fee is quite... More

I loved the recreation of the different types of habitats of the peoples in Sarawak. The live shows and activities give a flavour to the place - like a living museum. The food at the only café in the place is basic but fine. Its a comfortable short trip from town and well worth spending a half day in the... More
