- Neris29Singapore, Singapore244 contributionsSharing some thoughts from a truly enjoyable and eye-opening trip to Mulu caves in June 2024 with my family. I have separately reviewed our trips to Deer Cave and Clearwater Cave, which are absolutely must-dos in Mulu.
First, I was really glad that we decided to stay within within the national park. The room was spacious, comfortable and clean. Great value for money. We had all our meals in the cafe and we never felt tired of the food over the 4 days. Best of all, it was super convenient to get to all the guided walks which we had signed up for. Here are some of the activities we signed up for:
Fast Lane Caves - Unlike other caves, this cave offers the opportunity to see more fauna like snakes, swiftlets and bats up close. Great for animal lovers. It is also an unlit cave, so you can experience what total darkness is like!
Long Langsat Riverwalk - You will be brought by speedboat up to the mouth of a river where a guide will take you by foot up the river. You will actually be walking IN the shallow river. The river bed is totally covered with smooth pebbles, so you should wear good water shoes. It was actually really fun and exciting. Be prepared to fall and get wet! After walking for about 20-30mins, you will reach the destination, a beautiful spot in the middle of the forest where there is a series of small cascading waterfalls. Here you can relax and have a bite and dip the water. Once you are done, the guide the lead you back down the river to the boat. When booking the tour, let them know if you cannot speak Malay. This is because part of the trip includes visiting a local village before the riverwalk. In our case, our boatman/guide could not speak English and so our trip to the village was totally wasted.
Kayak tour - A very easy kayak down river, accompanied by speedboat, from the national park to Marriot Hotel which took only about 30-40 mins. My kids who were 9-13 years were able to do it with us without any problem.
Nightwalk - A must do when you are in Mulu. After all how often does one get to walk through a tropical rainforest in pitch darkness? The guide was able to point out many interesting creatures and plants which we would not have otherwise noticed. It was here that I realised how important it was to have a powerful torch. The headlamps that we had bought hardly penetrated the darkness. Thankfully, the guide had a super powerful torch.
So I would definitely recommend any visitor to Mulu to buy the most powerful torch they can afford for the trip.
Sunset Cruise - A boatman took us out on a speedboat to see the sunset against the mountains. The colours were beautiful.
Canopy walk - The canopy walk can only be done with a guide and is a must do activity. We didn't see any birds or animals but just walking on the canopy was worth it. The walk is actually a series of narrow wooden suspension bridges, strung up by ropes and cables, linking several trees, high up above the ground. Think Indiana Jones and you won't be too far off. Very fun and exciting.Written 11 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

A good experience walking in the dark and an eye opening on birdnests harvesting. A comfy pair of track shoes, powerful hand torch light , drinking water are helpful. Accompanied by an experienced guide to better knowing and understanding of the caves and ensuring a safe journey in the caves is useful. Good to have hand gloves as need to hold railing for ease of climbing the stairs. The railingsare covered with bird droppings and may have unfriendly creatures on them.Written 16 July 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- TravellinginyourfiftiesChester, UK22 contributionsOverall, a good place to visit for the day. The trails through the jungle are generally well marked and are not to be underestimated. I did the waterfalls walk which took about 4 hrs of strenuous walking - there are many steep inclines some of which needed the assistance of the ropes provided. I didn't see ANY of the named wildlife (I was quiet and observant) but even without tour guide, the jungle was amazing. I did this is a day trip from Miri (itself not worth visiting) with a Grab there and a very lucky lift back as i was told by the Park Ranger that I would struggle with buses/taxis out there due to major road works going on.Written 24 October 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- norikoal10 contributionsThe walk inside the cave is a bit challenging due to the uneven terrain and lack of natural light. Make sure to bring torch and wear suitable shoes. Overall great experience for us family ranging from 12-76Written 26 June 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- HudsonmccrawVirginia Beach, VA3,929 contributionsThe Coco Cabana is a place where you can see a lighthouse that is in the shape of a giant seahorse. The latter of which being the mascot of Miri. There are restaurants on site, but were completely empty & closed when we arrived. Still, we enjoyed the opportunity to take pictures of the giant seahorse.Written 26 January 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- jajavalBLampang, Thailand3,875 contributionsThis UNESCO site is very impressive for me to visit about prehistorical stories, past business ( guano collection, swiflet’s nest collection ) , cavetology and nature enjoyment . Starting my day early from downtown Miri by self driving on AH150, or local coastside highway, I arrived the first one at the park HQ , then registered by mobilephone . Let begin my journey from crossing Niah river to the walking trail other side , walking on concrete path, wooden path passing through tropical rainforest for 2.5 km then I reached toilets and handicraft center (where drinks , snacks and souvenirs were available), finally first cave was trader cave , great cave , to end up at painted cave . The great cave was very dark in about 8-10 miute walk ( headlamp is recommended )the last part to reach the other muth of cave complex , to walk for 400 meters tp painted cave . It’s soking sweaty hot so another polo shirt to be changed is good too. After about 2-3 hours enjoying the cave/trail , I visited anthropological museum of Niah, before crossing back to the Park HQ.Written 6 July 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Anamika T363 contributionsNice view of the city on one side and ocean from the other side. Place has lot of small eateries there and also petroleum museum. The sunset can also be very beautiful from there. We left at around 5pm so could not experience from there. Petroleum museum was also closed maybe because it was Saturday.Written 9 April 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The journey there is awesome in itself seeing Borneo from above then the surreal trip up the river. I only wish I'd had more time, the few days went too fast, I enjoyed the slow pace and peacefulness ...well maybe minus the roosters. The heat takes some adjusting too but overall it was the highlight of my trip to Borneo...my guide and the villagers were incredibly welcoming.Written 23 August 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
