From pristine underwater marine life and untouched coral reefs to rich heritage and from wilderness to modern city landscape, Sarawak is a potpourri of experiences appreciated by travelers from all over the world. Head into Sarawak's interiors and your heartbeat will flutter at the fascinating and enchanting dances of the multi-ethnic tribes living harmoniously with each other. Indeed, Sarawak is home to 28 ethnic groups; each with its own distinct language, culture and lifestyle. The Malays also constitute a large portion (23 per cent) of the population as well, mainly concentrated along the coast. ( reff: www.sarawaktourism.com).

STT is one of concept vehicles that reflect the characters and culture of the population of Sarawak. This Concept was in inspired by nature low-flying pelicans birds among the mangrove forest to search his food (fish). As with the Sarawak if we want to see the beauty and cultural diversity, we should not only see from afar, come to enjoy the natural beauty of Sarawak directly with driving Sarawak Tandem Taxi (STT).

This vehicle has unique characteristics, at low speeds( 7 – 10 knot) we can enjoy a trip to Sarawak, and at high speed ( 25 - 35 knot) these vehicles can fly as high as 30-50 cm above sea level, with the automatic Anti Piching System(APS) of this vehicle stability is no doubt.
