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.

Hi Simona,
Yes, it is still possible
Hi, I'm a solo traveller and wanted to do this tour. But I dont want to be doing this alone. Is this tour totally private, with no other people joining? Thanks in advance.
Simona Wullschleger, 13 May 2024
Hello Simona, this experience is a join-in experience :)
Hi, we are a group of 6 healthy seniors between the age of 59-65. I have a few questions 1) from your experience with others of similar age group, do you think we will be able to summit to the pinnacleñ? 2) is there a alternative to reach the Pinnacle without the 4 hours trekking. 3) your package includes return airtickets to Mulu from Miri, can we choose the flight time or excludes the return tickets?4) can we start our Day 1 tour on the next day instead and add another day stay at the hotel ? Will you be able to do the airport transfer to the hotel n pick us ùp from hotel for our Day 1 tour on the next day.
Angela Lee, 10 Jul 2023
Hi Angela, please find the answer as follow:
1) fYes, we do have a uncle guest 70+ yrs old successfully challenge to Pinnacle. If you physically fit enough, you can try but safety and healthy issue is our first concerned. The guide will investigate your movement during day 1 you go for Deer & Lang Cave, if you walking slow and tired, the guide will not allow you go for camp 5 and pinnacles
2) No alternative way, if you not able to reach Pinnacles on time, you can just go for Mini Pinnacles
3) Return tickets are on the add ons and the return ticket not necessary to Miri only, we can arrange from Mulu to Kuching or Kota Kinabalu. For Miri to Mulu flight only twice a day, pls refer below:
MYYMZV MH3630 1120HRS/1150HRS
MYY/MZV MH3632 1235HRS/1305HRS
MZV/MYY MH3631 1025HRS/1055HRS
MZV/MYY MH3633 1300HRS/1330HRS
4)Yes, which mean day 1 you will be free and easy. Our package already include airport transfer service.
