The tour starts in the morning with a drive to Gayang Village, where you can observe the lifestyle of its inhabitants, the Bajau tribe, as they go about their daily business. Light refreshments are served upon arrival, followed by a trip down to the river for a tour along the stream, with chance to participate in crab-catching activities where crab traps will be collected at the end of the cruise.
