The Rajang River is the longest river in Sarawak as well as Malaysia. The river and its tributaries serve as the main access route to the vast Sarawak hinterland which is dotted by small frontier towns and longhouses inhabited by the state's many tribes. The gateway to the Rejang River hinterland is Sibu.
The starting point of most trips up the Rajang River is Sibu. Sarawak's second largest city is well connected by road, air and even boats with other Sarawak cities. See Sibu's Get In section for details.
