A nature lover's dream. Thrilling adventure exploring Mulu caves + Mt Api. 
This 4-day, 3-night adventure through the Mulu Caves and up to the Mt Api Pinnacles is one of those bucket list trips you have to do once in your lifetime.Picture this: you're exploring the planet's largest cave passage at Deer Cave, kayaking through the otherworldly Clearwater Cave (it's HUGE), and then suddenly, you're staring out at the tombstone of giants from atop Mt Api. It's seriously gorgeous.Your guides are basically like walking, talking encyclopedias of Borneo - they'll have you navigating the trails and caves like a pro (even if you've never set foot in a rainforest before!).This experience includes a visit to the Lang Cave, Deer Cave, Clearwater Cave, and Wind Cave, as well as the Gunung Api (Pinnacles viewing) climb, entrance fees, a boat ride, meals, English-speaking guides, and return transfer from Mulu Airport.What to ExpectExplore world-renowned caves: Lang Cave, Deer Cave, Wind Cave, Clearwater Cave, and Lady's CaveWitness the incredible bat exodus at Deer CaveSwim and picnic by the pristine Clearwater SpringHike through untouched rainforest to Camp 5Conquer the challenging ascent to the Mt Api Pinnacles viewpoint - be prepared for a very strenuous hike! Enjoy authentic meals prepared amidst stunning natural sceneryTipsBe prepared for a very physically demanding but rewarding trek. Some even say that this is where the Malaysian special forces train their troops - so it's short but definitely not easy! We highly recommend that you train up for this hike a few months in advance.Pack appropriate gear for both rainforest hiking and cave exploration.Don't forget your swimsuit for a refreshing dip in Clearwater Spring.A small amount of cash for the compulsory guide tipping (RM50/pax) is customary.Accommodation choicesThe night before your journey, you will have two choices of accommodation, the homely Bernarat Lodge, or the luxurious Marriott - just choose on your booking form.

Hello, what is a good strategy for packing. Do guest usually bring large backpacks into the rainforest, unloading most packing in Camp5. Or do you offer luggage storage so one can only bring the necessities into the rainforest? Thanks in advance!

Max Gustafson, 12 Feb 2025

Hi Max, For Mulu National Park, guests typically bring a smaller backpack with just the essentials for the rainforest trek, as it can be quite humid and you'll want to travel light. Most people leave their larger backpacks at Camp5 and only carry what they need for the trek. Let me know if you have any other questions or need more info!

Hi. Does your package include return flight between KL to Miri and Miri to Mulu and back? Thanks.

Soo, 29 Jan 2025

Hi Soo, It is not included the flight ticket

Hello, we'll arrive at the airport at 12.50 to do the 4d3n tour. Will that be an issue ? ( as there isn't earlier flight ). Thank you :)

Brice , 24 May 2024

Hello Brice, could you please email us at chat@seeksophie.com on the date and number of pax joining? Happy to check availability with our host and assist further.

I would have arriving at 12:15 in Mulu airport - would this still be possible?

Simona Wullschleger, 13 May 2024
