For domestic travel within Sarawak or Sabah, please refer to Mas Wings airline webpage

By Taxi - from Kuching town it should take RM30 - RM40 per way to Kampung Bako

By Bus - Petrajaya Transport Co leaves from Bus Stop no. 1 at Jln Market, opposite Elektra House for Bako Village (Kampung Bako) every hour from 7am till 6pm and costs a nominal fee of only RM2.50. Be prepared to wait though. It's not always on time. On returning to Kuching, the bus runs from 8.00am to 5.00pm

By Minivan - The white mini vans take travellers into outskirts of Kuching and charges at least

mini vans

double the price of public buses and waits to be filled before leaving. If need be, you can also catch one of these at the car park area opposite Electra House. Be prepared to bargain the price with them and also look for the van that goes to Bako. The destinations are usually written on the side of the van door
