Sample itinerary

Day 1 - Arrival / Deer & Lang's Caves / Bat Exodus

  • Meet upon arrival at Mulu Airport and transfer to accommodation for check-in.
  • In the afternoon, take your lunch before assembling at 1400hrs for a safety briefing conducted by our local guide.
  • The 3 km of almost-flat raised plank walks take you to the Bat Observatory (40 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.
  • You will first visit Lang's Cave with its 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 threadworm larvae, another little wonder of Mulu Caves.
  • The next cave is the Deer Cave. A large number of swiftlets also roost here, 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 the Garden of Eden, you have walked 800m inside Deer Cave. Enjoy the unique showerhead formation of Adam and Eve's showers, spouting water columns 30m to the riverbed below.
  • The tour coincides with the bat exodus, which could start anytime after 1700hrs.
  • A small kiosk at the Bat Observatory sells drinks and snacks until 1730hrs. Please bring your empty tins/packaging back to Park HQ as per World Heritage guidelines.
