National park will not disappoint. The caves are huge, filled with bats and very well overseen. The canopy walk also good. The jungle here is virgin and has never been chopped down - so is especially thick by the paths and walkways are clear and allow you to get in the middle of the noisy jungle easily and with confidence....

To start I booked via internet and received a quick reply confirming my booking. Two days later I had to change booking and again got speedy response from Park Admin. Check in was great with reception staff very helpful with advice about your chosen itinerary. I stayed in the dorm and was given clean sheets, blanket and towel for which... More

The Mulu Caves were actually pretty well taken care of by the authorities and in generally good condition which is much better than you can say about the vast majority of other tourists sites in Malaysia. Do take note however the smell of guano is very pervasive and you will have to live with it. Also any food or drinks... More

i wish there was more time to spend in the caves. it's also unfortunate that the mulu park politics have hampered access to the caves, that is short of park guides to lead adventure cave trips therefore not trip to that cave. also, mulu belongs to malaysians and should be run by malaysians (and not australians who already have life...

The Mulu caves are well all worth a visit. To watch the 3 million bats exit the Deer Cave at dusk is unforgettable.

We stayed here towards the end of a trip with G Adventures, and had a great time. Caves were well worth a visit, and the trip to Deer Cave to see 3 million bats flying out is something that I will never forget.

There's more to Mulu NP than advertised on the official website. Apart from the Guided Walks & Cave Tours, there are unguided treks & walks you can do on your own, eg Paku Valley Waterfall (0.5day return). The Clearwater, Wind & Lagang caves which are normally accessed by longboat can also be trekked to on land. The Botanic walk (1.5km... More
