• A 3km almost flat walk on raised plank walks takes you to the Bat observatory (45 minutes to 1 hour).
• Walk another 500m to reach one of the world’s largest cave passages, home to more than 3 million Wrinkle Lipped bats. A large number of swiftlets also roost in Deer Cave where the high cave ceilings (more than 100m in some places) provide a safe haven against predators.
• Enjoy the sheer size of this limestone passage, an ancient riverbed, and see the force of water carving the scalloped walls.
• Once you reach the green oasis of Garden of Eden you have walked 800m inside Deer Cave. Enjoy the unique showerhead formations of Adam and Eve’s showers spouting columns of water 30m to the riverbed below.
• Returning almost the same way, but with views from different angles, you will visit Lang Cave with wonderful limestone shawls, stalagmites and stalactites. Bats are easier to see in this smaller cave and you will be very close to the shimmering webs of thread worm larvae, another miniscule wonder of Mulu caves.
• The tour is timed to coincide with the bat exodus which could start any time from after 17:00.
• To walk to Deer cave to witness the Bat exodus is a FREE excursion, BUT you cannot enter Deer or Lang cave without payment beforehand and a guide (as is the normal procedure). Expect to be back at HQ by 18:30 to 19:00, should the bats fly.
• A small kiosk at the Bat Observatory sells drinks and snacks until 17:30. PLEASE BRING YOUR EMPTY TINS/PACKAGING BACK WITH YOU TO HQ as per World Heritage prescription.
• Toilets and designated smoking area available.
• This Deer Cave tour is also included in the Garden of Eden Valley walk. Keep this in mind as not to duplicate bookings.

• Cruise up the Melinau river in a longboat and visit a Penan longhouse & market at Batu Bungan (market not open on Sundays).
• 2^nd stop at Cave of the Winds where you have to negotiate a long ramp and a few stairs.
• 3^rd stop Clearwater where the subterranean river emerges from the cliff face. Take 200 stairs to enter the cave to marvel at the Monophilia Pendula endemic to Mulu. Clearwater is one of the biggest cave systems in the world, measuring over 220km in length.
• Swimming inside the cave is not permitted, however a cool down in the natural crystal-clear waters at the picnic deck is a must. Float with the fish and enjoy the rainforest around you.

• The Mulu canopy walk is a 480 metre walkway, suspended 25 metres above the forest floor and still one of the longest tree based canopy walks in the world.
• Walk in the lush tree tops with tranquil river views below and compare the vegetation of riverine forest floor to the understory, the treetops and nearby limestone cliffs. A unique opportunity to get closer to the rainforest ‘web of life’.
• BOOKING ESSENTIAL during the busy season as it easily sells out.
• Early morning tours are advised for birders.

BOOKINGS ARE ESSENTIAL as group sizes are limited to enhance your experience. If it is raining, departure can be delayed up to 30 minutes before the tour is cancelled by your Park guide. A refund will be arranged the next day if the tour is cancelled before departure.

Mulu is a rich habitat for thousands of nocturnal species which prefer the darkness of night to protect them from predators. Although the forest is an orchestra of sounds at night, the visitor must move quietly to catch Mulu’s weird and wonderful creatures in the lights.

This tour is an excellent introduction to learn where to look and train the eye for the Mulu experience.

• Be sure to take raingear.
• Too much insect repellant has the tendency to warn other animals of your presence, thus making it more difficult to see.
• Requires patience and a very quiet approach
• The Guide is reliant on animals appearing or not. Please make it easy for the Guide and ask questions.

Bring your own torchlight
