Watch the sunset. The sun sets at 18:26, casting a final glow over the water and trees. This is the core of the evening experience.

Stay for the transition into twilight. The light fades quickly after sunset, but the atmosphere remains calm. Check the route back to town as it gets dark.
Local tip
Since there are no food or drink options listed in the park itself, plan to head back to downtown Kuching for dinner after you leave. Check the route for the return bus.
Check before you go
- The park is easily reached by bus from downtown Kuching. Ensure you know the return schedule for the bus, as services may be limited after dark.
- Sunset on 15 October is at 18:26. Arrive at least 45 minutes before this time to find a good spot.
