After 5 days at Mulu we were suitably impressed with not only the caves, walks and general area but also with the way the park staff impressed us. A few more days seeing the bits we missed would have good but time was short. The park canteen provided a good range of food and beverages and from our point of... More

I visited this site about 15 years ago and had always been my intention to make another visit which ended today. This review is special because it is my 100th review on TripAdvisor and wish to share this experience with others with similar interests. A normal trip to this site takes two days one night but this is quite hectic... More

Mulu park is incredible and if you want to experience Malaysian rainforests then by far the best place to do it! Getting there is easy - flights run by Air Asia go from Kuching or Miri most days of the week. There are two accomodation options - Royal Mulu Park (run by Marriott) which is more expensive but more luxury,... More

We spent 3 nights in the park. Our local guide Lucy was very knowledgeable and caring. The night river trip through the jungle -just the two of us plus boatman- was excellent and well worth the cost. Caves are caves wherever you are in the world but the sight of 2.5 million bats exiting one cave in 30 minutes is... More

Close to nature with only the sounds of the forest. If you love nature and are slightly adventurous at least, you must visit Mulu and wonder at the caves that are 60 million years old. Enjoy the smells and sounds of the forest and the waterways surrounding the areas, and get a birds-eye view of the rainforest canopy from the... More

Stayed here for 4 nights about a year ago with my sister, bro in law and two (grown up nephews). Sister and husband had one of the newer individual dwelling (beautiful) and the boys and I stayed (separately) in some of the older properties (basic but fine). As we flew in the day we had amazing views across Borneo, Arriving... More

Let me start by saying that if you're an avid cave-lover, then there's no looking past Mulu National Park - the appeal is undeniable, to say the least. However, if you're looking to actually stay anywhere near the park, the experience can be very unappealing, overpriced and at-times rife with hostility. Between the lack of interest displayed by the people... More

The caves are all very interesting and the scale of them is really impressive. Even the river boat ride to some of the caves is very nice. I would recommend going on the additional guided trips as well. I went to Racer Cave and it was definitely a lot of fun even though snakes make me a bit nervous. I... More
