An arranged small-boat outing on the Mentaya

See Sampit from the water on a locally arranged small-boat trip. The Mentaya’s neighbourhoods and river traffic offer a different perspective from the waterfront; agree the actual route and return before boarding.

Stay / departure base
Sampit

A town seen from the water

The provincial tourism guide documents small-boat sightseeing on the Mentaya, including views of riverside neighbourhoods and a possible Sagonta Kota landing in Baamang Hulu. Treat these as route ideas to discuss locally, rather than a fixed circuit. Watch everyday river life and the changing townscape from the boat. This city outing is distinct from a forest or wildlife expedition farther downriver.

Agree on a suitable outing

Ask your accommodation or a local boat provider to identify the departure point, duration, price, return and any permitted stops. Check passenger capacity and a properly fitting lifejacket for each person. Departure depends on a suitable boat and river conditions; no scheduled service or confirmed online package is established here. Keep photographs respectful around homes and working landings. If arrangements do not suit, enjoy the river from Sampit’s public waterfront instead.
