Sibu is a town in Sarawak, East Malaysia. It's not much of a tourist destination, but it's a common transfer point for boats up the Rejang River to the small towns of Borneo's interior.
Kapit
Kapit is a town at the upper Rejang River, Sarawak, Malaysia. It can be reached by boat from Sibu or Belaga. As of Jan 2011, there are no speedboats heading north to Belaga due to a new dam up the river.
Belaga
Belaga is a small town on the Rejang River in Malaysia's province of Sarawak. Whilst the village can be explored in well under an hour, most visitors arrive in Belaga in order to explore the many longhouses, as well as the interior of Borneo.Rejang River
