The place

Jong's has been operating at Siburan, on the road south-east out of Kuching, for decades, and it is one of the oldest visitor attractions in the division. The stock is chiefly the estuarine crocodile — the same species that lives wild in Sarawak's river mouths and mangroves, and that gives the state's rivers their reputation.

Alongside the crocodile pens the site keeps other Bornean animals, and feeding sessions are the fixed points of the day. It is a straightforward family attraction rather than a conservation centre in the mould of Semenggoh, and it is usually treated as a half-day, often combined with a stop at Serian on the way.

Highlights

  1. Estuarine crocodiles at close quarters, including some very large individuals
  2. Scheduled feeding sessions
  3. Other Bornean species alongside the crocodile pens
  4. An easy half-day for families based in Kuching

Siburan is about 30 kilometres from Kuching on the road towards Serian — roughly half an hour by car or Grab. It sits conveniently on the way to Semenggoh and to Serian's waterfall parks.

Good to know

  • Feeding times are the highlight — worth timing a visit around them
  • Check current admission and hours before setting out
  • Combines well with Semenggoh or a Serian day trip
  • Shade is limited in the middle of the day
