**Resource from LonelyPlanet
Sarawak has land borders with Brunei, Indonesia and the Malaysian state of Sabah. If you have own transport, you may drive all the way to Sibu
By Bus
This is the most common transport if you are travelling between cities in Sarawak. The travelling times can be long because of the distance.
By Boat
Express boats run from the coast inland along Borneo's larger rivers. They are generally faster than buses and cheaper than planes. Popular routes include Kuching-Sibu (4 hours) and Sibu-Kapit (3 hours).
