The public transport in Malaysia is absolutely awful. Read online that the K2 bus comes every 20 minutes. Got to the bus station at about 10:30 and the bus didn't show up until 12:00, and then didn't leave until 12:15. The last bus back was also not at 18:00 like we'd read, but 15:20 (verified by the bus driver on our way there), leaving us with very little time to actually get to the fairy caves. RM4.50 each way per person. I believe a return ticket is cheaper but we didn't get one in case we missed it.

Arrived at about 13:30, wandered around trying to find a taxi (the first time since we started travelling that there hasn't been a taxi driver waiting at a bus stop). We were pointed in the right direction of where the taxis usually wait and managed to find one. He charged RM20 each way and waited at the fairy caves for us.

The caves themselves were amazing - absolutely massive and could hear the sound of bats and other animals much higher up. Didn't personally see any (saw some shapes on the rocks but that may have been little stalactites) so if anyone is worried about that, you shouldn't be.

There were a lot more stairs than I'd anticipated but it is worth it.

There were 2 of us and it cost us RM58 instead of RM100 if we'd gotten a grab. But it did take roughly 3 hours extra of waiting around in the heat so it's up to you which is worth it. My advice would be to go early - 08:00 or so. Try and find a group and split a grab - will save you several hours and a lot of stress.

We stayed in sarawak city center. Got Grabcar to bring us to Serikin, its a bazaar/market place at the border between Serikin and Kalimantan. Spent about 1.5/2hrs there. Can find unique and more Local antique stuffs there. Then, head to Fairy Cave which is nearby. Better to talk to the Grab driver to stay with u if he can because from Fairy Cave, it is pretty hard to get a Grabcar. The place is in the rural area. Bad Data reception too. In fact, bad reception started even in Serikin.

Initially, i underestimated the place. I went there because i see 1 or 2 photos and know that it is a famous tourist attraction. When u reach, there is a high dull man-made staircase that u need to climb. When u reach the top, u get to see the entrance of the cave. For someone who haven’t been to many caves, the opening is quite inviting. Go in, it gets darker, might need torchlight, i just use the one on my Hp. You will need to climb a very steep narrow wet and dark staircase before you get to see the actual amazing gem. Keep climbing up and you will see this hidden gem. It’s huuuggeee.... and soo exotic! It’s like u can build a civilisation inside this cave. I can imagine Frodo and the fellowship of the ring chose this place as a hideout. You can go further in but it was dark, i didn’t pursuit.

A must visit especially for those adventure seeker.
A lot of staircases without railing.
Wear proper shoe.
Bring camera and enough battery. My batt ran out before i could my finish exploring the place.
Might perspire depending on your pace. So my suggestion is wear light and don’t bring bulky bag.

There is a small shop downstair where you park your car or where my Grab driver waited for me. You can get your drinks there and sit down, rest for while before u go off.

Dont be deceived by rundown of the place upon arrival. It is worth every steps, every climb into the fairy cave! Not to kill the surprise inside the fairy cave, i say its worth the visit.
