THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW

  • Park regulations are that visits to Wind & Clearwater is between 9.00am till 12.00pm and visits to Deer & Lang Caves is between 2.00pm till 4.00pm. The Park is very strict on this as this is for the protection of the caves. Cave lighting will be switched off at the prescribed time schedules.

  • Clients are to be advised that camera/video fees are to be reported during registration at the park HQ and to be paid directly to the park. Current fees are at RM5.00 per camera and RM10.00 per video camera. Permit for filming equipment and filming requirements will have to be applied prior to arrival.

  • Recommended film for cave picture taking is AS400.

  • You will need good walking shoes with good grip (tends to be slippery especially after rain), light clothing, hat, insect repellent, torch, swim wear, small backpack/sling pack to put in your things.

  • For transfers to the resort from airport, may be switched to van transfer (5 minutes) if it is raining or if water level is too low and journey may take much longer.

  • Journey involves many longboat trips and on occasion may require assistance by the guide and boat driver to help push the boat for some part of the river rides when water level is lower than normal.

  • It is compulsory that life jackets (provided in the boats) be worn at all times during river trips

  • Aircraft is a twin otter 19- seater by MAS or Vision Air

  • Clients are advised to travel light and to take only what is required in a small bag in view of weight restrictions. Only 10 kg per pax is allowed. On transit in Miri, Seridan Mulu will meet and collect big luggage to be stored in Miri. Luggage will be returned upon arrival back to Miri to meet pax, verify luggage and assist with check-in for onward journey (this service is available in Miri by Seridan Mulu and can be arranged for in Kota Kinabalu if need be but will be chargeable for cargo and service handling).

  • Charter flights are available from Miri for Mulu and the highlands. Charter fees are subject to time of request and pending sectors.
