About Bintulu

Bintulu is a hidden gem in Sarawak, Malaysia, that offers a unique blend of natural beauty and industrial charm. The standout attraction is the majestic Bintulu Waterfront, a scenic boardwalk along the Bintulu River lined with shops, restaurants, and street food stalls serving delicious local cuisine. Travelers love the chance to try their hand at fishing or simply relax in the laid-back atmosphere. The best time to visit Bintulu is during the dry season from May to September, when the weather is cooler and drier. For first-timers, a practical tip is to hire a local guide to explore the nearby Bario Highlands, a breathtaking region of rugged terrain, rolling hills, and traditional Kelabit villages.
