Samarinda

About Samarinda

Samarinda, the capital city of East Kalimantan, is a hidden gem that will leave you with unforgettable memories. The vibe of this city is vibrant and lively, with a rich cultural heritage that is palpable in its bustling markets and traditional architecture. One standout attraction is the majestic Samarinda River, which offers breathtaking views and a serene atmosphere perfect for a relaxing boat ride.

The best time to visit Samarinda is during the dry season from April to October when the weather is warm and sunny. For first-timers, we recommend trying the local specialty, 'Ikan Patin', a delicious fish dish that is a staple in East Kalimantan cuisine, to get a taste of the city's rich culinary heritage.
