Activities in Gunung Mulu National Park

Mulu Canopy Skywalk
One of the real highlights of the park is its brilliant new Mulu Canopy Skywalk, easily the best in Southeast Asia. The park requires that you traverse it as part of a guided walk. Despite the relatively steep cost, we urge you not to skip this attraction - every bit of the 480m length is unforgettable.
Climbing to the canopy is really the only way to see what a tropical rainforest is all about, since most of the action happens in the canopy, not on the ground. Contact Park Headquarters (HQ) for more details or to arrange a guide.

Wind Cave
About 3km southwest of Bau, the Wind Cave is a network of underground streams on the banks of the Batang Kayan. Slippery, unlit boardwalks run through the caves, allowing you to wander along three main passages with chittering bats swooping over your head. Don’t be tempted to leave the boardwalk if you see steps in the rock – this is probably the exit to a subterranean adventure-caving trail.
