Every year, the Rainforest World Music Festival takes place in Santubong, Sarawak, and many people want to know the RWMF Shuttle Bus Information, as it is one of the easiest ways to go to the festival. Previously, several bus companies in Kuching handled this, but this year, it is unclear which company will be in charge.

RWMF Shuttle Bus Information

For the Rainforest World Music Festival 2026, official shuttle buses usually connect Kuching city centre with the Sarawak Cultural Village. While the full 2026 schedule and pickup points have yet to be announced, festival organisers have not yet confirmed that shuttle services will run frequently throughout the event period.

Based on recent years, visitors can expect convenient departures from central locations such as the Kuching Waterfront area, with services operating from morning until late at night to accommodate both daytime workshops and evening concerts. Shuttle rides are typically free for festival ticket holders, making it the easiest and most practical way to get to the venue.
