What is Travelers’ Choice?
Tripadvisor gives a Travelers’ Choice award to accommodations, attractions and restaurants that consistently earn great reviews from travelers and are ranked within the top 10% of properties on Tripadvisor.
The Bario Highlands (Kelabit Highlands) is a highland plateau in the interior of Sarawak in Malaysia. The isolated region bordering Kalimantan, Indonesia, is now very popular for jungle trekking as well as those hoping to get away from it all. Lying at an altitude of about 3,500 feet above sea level in the north-eastern corner of Sarawak is the famous Bario Highland, a Kelabit territory, one of the minority Orang Ulu tribes of Sarawak. Bario means ‘Wind’ in Kelabit language. It is affectionately known as the ‘land of a hundred handshakes’ as this is how friendly locals will greet you as you wander around the community.

      Magical rainforest discovery!
      The Gunung Gading National Park is a beautiful place, but you need to take the time to enjoy it. Sadly, there were no giant Rafflesia flowers in bloom when we visited, but our park guide, Antonia, made up for that completely. Her enthusiasm and her wealth of knowledge were a joy, and we learned a great deal. She took us off the beaten track and her sharp eyes spotted things that we'd never have seen without her. It was three hours of magical rainforest discovery. Well worth the visit.

      Driver did not turn up
      Unfortunately the driver failed to pick us up. Numerous calls later, was told driver was 'busy' - despite having booking confirmed. Was offered next day tour - which was not convenient for us. Requested a refund which was processed the same day.

      Ticked
      Paid to much to see the unusual shape sandstone rock. Just a one hour return boat ride for most visitors where the boatman wait to grab you. The rock is smaller than we imagined but we got photos and crossed off our list. Luckily, we saw the errawaddy dolphins en route back that made the trip.

      Flexible sight seeing tour
      As myself and my daughter were the only ones on this tour, the tour guide, Andy, was friendly and accommodating. Besides the mentioned destinations on this tour, I was able to have a drive down memory lane and visit the site of my previous primary school in Miri, which is now Piasau Nature reserve. To make up for time, some of the other places we drove past, and others were closed on the Sunday (eg Petroleum museum). Our last stop was so crowded as it was the weekend and we were unable to find a parking spot so had to just drive past Coco Cabana instead. I suggest doing the tour on a weekday. All in all our tour duration was still 3 hours. Andy could answer the 100 of questions I asked him about Miri and Sarawak - he is a bank of information and knowledge. This tour is highly recommended if you would like to see the sights of Miri in half a day.

      Worthwhile visit
      Really enjoyed the cave walks, even in monsoon rain on first day. The cabin was comfortable and quite satisfactory to stay. Food provided was good and we really enjoyed our stay.

      Stay at the Marriott instead of the Rainforest Lodge
      The setting is beautiful and convenient to the Park. The chalet I was in smelled so strongly of mildew and mold that it could knock you over upon entering. The air conditioning was barely functioning. There was no drinking water provided and no refill station so a lot of plastic waste. Every little thing is an extra charge including wifi or changes to the set breakfast. I was sick and requested rice and toast which cost wise is cheaper but they charged extra. I asked if someone could help with my luggage on departure as I was weak but I was told no one was available. I do not recommend the Rainforest Lodge as it was the most expensive thing I did while in Borneo and the accommodations and services were a big disappointment.

      An Incredible Day Trip to Niah Caves
      The trip to the Niah Caves was one of the highlights of our recent visit to Sarawak. Our tour guide provided sufficient information to prepare us for the nature walk and the climb to the Niah Caves. The drive from our Miri hotel to the Niah National Park took about an hour and a half. The walk to the caves is about 3 km through true nature and the track is mostly on planks installed by the park authorities. As we started early in the morning, the walk was pleasant - not very humid initially. After the climb to the Traders' cave, we entered the Great Cave. What an impressive sight, nothing like being there yourself. There were number of locations where archaeological digs were being carried out. Unfortunately, we were not able to proceed to the Painted Cave due to closure for archaeological works. This is an experience not to be missed if in Miri, Sarawak!!
