Popular limestone cave near the Indonesian border. A bit of a climb but worth the effort. Easily reached from Kuching and close to the town on Bau

Fairy cave is a really beautiful place. What's most surprising there is the lush vegetation that can be found everywhere, which is quite unusual for such a big cave.

We hired a tour guide to bring us to this cave and he was from the Melanau background and his name is Mr Bong, very nice guy indeed. To reach to the entrance, one must climb the stairs of a 3-4 storey building. As you enter the cave, the breeze there makes it all so worth it. But wait till... More

Think they are closed or just 'in ruination'!!!! Having got a car we drove out to them, hard to find and so glad we had not paid for a trip.

An easy morning excursion, my family loved the adventure - spooky caves with bats swooping overhead, a lovely trip.

To say the climb up the steps is worth it is an understatement. Miss this, and regret it forever. Simply breathtaking.

Once you've climbed up the stairs (all of them, including some steep ones at the top) and emerge into the Fairy Cave it's a marvellous sight - it looks like a film set for a fairy story. It's maybe not as big as the massive caves further north in Sarawak but it will certainly do as a substitute if you... More

Very huge cave, with greeny inside the cave. The journey to walk to is sleeply, but easy walk and it is short. When walking along the stairs, can really feel the wing blow, when come to cave it self, feeling like magic. Very nature and had been told by the guide who brought us there, not to try to enter...
