I come on weekdays with my family, there were several people were there. The place is clean except the wooden floor in the pool a bit slippery. It was so refreshing dipping my body in the pool.

Dipping legs in hot spring water for fun. Prefer it to be hotter. RM7.00 per entry for local adult, RM1.00 for children. Good for local visitors to experience hot spring water, since this is the nearer one from Kuching.

What a great find. Not easy to get too,but worth the trip. Amazing, in the jungle in a very hot spring. Cheap. All you hear are the creatures in the jungle. Superb
Lovely place for those who want s to relax by taking a dip in a verm warm natural pool. Facilities are bmvery basic but its very cheap at rm5 for local. One will feel refreshed after the warm bath. Best to go in the late afternoon. 5pm onwards.

What a gem. Nature with health benefits. Quiet and relaxing. Next time I will come earlier.
Some people said the water has healing power. I suppose its loaded with natural minerals which good for the body.

Rm 20 for my visitor!!! THREE TIMES the PRICE for a resident @Rm7. A senior pays the same price as that of a young adult. What??!!
Facilities are sparse with pinging showers and change rooms..... if not for the recuperative super hot water which is sure to soak away your body aches!

Location is ok. But facilities are way too old, need lots of renovations and touch up. The hygiene issues need to seriously look into.
Lok Tang — Google review
Nice place to submerge your body to the earth warmth. The hot spring is as hot as advertised and suitable for adults until below 12 but needs the supervision from adults. Rm7 per entry for the new pricing for adult and rm1 for below 13 years old. Foreigners are also different pricing. Refer to my picture attached. The rightest side of the hot spring is the hottest. The more to the left, the lower the heat your skin feels. My body feels refreshed after a dip in the hot spring. Try it for yourself.
LUIS RAZORMAX — Google review
A few minutes off the main highway into the small village road leading to the entrance. Basic hot spring with few pools build like a wooden hut. RM7 for adults. The "spring" water is more like a stagnant pool with slight amber colour hot water. The temperature can be hot, dip in slowly before submerging into the pool to avoid any surprise.

It's my favorite hot spring I've been to in Sarawak. Last trip to Kuching, I came here almost every day. I was dealing with a slipped disc in my lower back, and I truly believe it was a big help in my healing process. It was only really crowded when it was a public holiday. 5 different areas with varying temperatures.
I recently visited two times during my trip to Kuching again. The first time, the water was a little dirtier than I remembered, but the second time was very clean.
Very friendly staff. They have bathrooms and two showers. They're also open everyday. It doesn't get much better than this. I will definitely be coming back here a few more times during my next trip.

Kampung Panchor Hot Spring which is located at Kampung Panchor Dayak, 40km from Kuching City is surrounded by forest and nature, offering serene and calm atmosphere.The hot spring which is located at Kampung Panchor Dayak is accessible via Kuching-Serian Road. The junction to the site is on the right side just after the Tapah Town.
The hot spring which is managed by the local community is open to the public daily from 7.00 am till 10.00pm. A nominal entrance fee of RM 5 is charge for Local adult ,Rm 1 for Children over 12yrs and Rm 15 for Non Malaysians.However this rate will be adjusted from 1/3/2023 to Rm 7,Rm 2 & Rm 20 respectively.From the ticket booth, a plank walk was built from the entrance connecting the various hot pools.
The temperature in the Hot Spring is about 42 degree Celsius - really Hot.Hence it is advisable to dip your hand or leg into the Hot Spring First to get a feel of the temperature before dipping your whole body. I am pleased to notice a few improvements at this Place during my recent visit compared to 6 years ago.The access road to this place had been tarred and toilets and changing rooms are at this New.Water is much cleaner now.However Facilities here are all very basic and do not expect a Japanese Onsen here or compared to those Resort Hot Spring.If I may suggest it will be really Good if the management can clean the Green Moss growing on the wooden plank in the Pool ( don’t know why Green Moss grow ) as this is Slippery and can be Hazardous.Also there is a Cafe but close on Every Monday hence unsure what is available.Facilities can be further improved like more Food Stalls as you will be Hungry after Hot Spring & also on the access road which is very narrow and so many twists and turns.Really doubtful if a 30 seaters Tourist Bus can access .I am positive the Current State Government with Record State Revenue can provide more immediate support and make this another renowned Tourist Attraction in Sarawak .I must compliment the Two Exeptional Friendly and Entertaining (not much Entertainment here & No Service for Mobile Phone )Staff there Mr Sahap and Mr Gradison.They really made Our Days. Worth a Visit if time permits.😃😃

詩巫永安亭大伯公廟 Sibu En An Teng Tua Pek Kong Temple
Taoist temple
Sights & Landmarks
Late-1800s Taoist temple featuring an iconic 7-tiered pagoda with Chinese-style ornamentation.
As a Christian, our old mindset parent were used to tell you not to visit temple without giving you a good reason. Perhaps, I see it as a beauty at every culture and belief. Each one of us have our own way to practice our faith, so too Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu and etc. We are called to respect and tolerate to one another in our differences. These photos was taken during Valentine's Day, and Chinese New Year. The temple was full with lights and love! 相信很多人都盼望着月老牵情,爱长长久久!

Very nice architecture and art. Situated beside the river Rajang. Can have a nice river view. Also has a very nice night view as it was decorated with lights. Nearby to morning and night Market as well. Think should be one of the most popular tourist destination in Sibu.

Temple strategically located beside the river Rajang
The Sibu Heritage Centre is a museum located in a circular municipal complex from 1960 that focuses on exploring the cultural heritage and history of native ethnic groups such as Chinese dialects, Sarawak's communist insurgency, Sibu's Christian traditions (including Methodist), and local opposition to Sarawak's incorporation into Malaysia in 1963. The museum displays panels with evocative photographs that offer insight into these topics.
The owner is very friendly..
And even give discounts!! 😁😁
Lots of things u can find here..
Mostly some of the lost heritages here in Sarawak, u can buy it here as merchandise..
The price is very very reasonable..
Do visit it if u ever come to Sibu..

At first I though is the place selling souvenirs. After moving around then realized is a museum.
After visiting the museum just wondering why it is not many visitors.
It is FREE entry.
It’s just take about 1-3 hrs - depending on how detailed you want to know
Very informative for Sibu history, culture etc
So, is highly recommended place to visit, try not to miss if you are visiting Sibu

A good place to gain history knowledge about Sibu from earlier settlers until formation of Malaysia.
One downside is the staffs are not attending and not friendly. Basically we just do our own reading and roam freely.

I initially went to visit the Sibu Cultural Heritage Museum with excitement, but unfortunately, I was treated quite harshly. While I understand the no photography rule, a friendly reminder would have sufficed; there was no need for the staff to glare at me so harshly.

Sibu Heritage Centre is a museum-cum-gallery that displays the rich and vibrant cultural heritages of the various ethnic groups of the Central Region in Sarawak. Also, it houses a fine collection of antiques, artefacts and photos, cultural exhibits. Further, it features a collection of Chinese porcelain and clay vases. The museum-cum-gallery is housed in the former Sibu Municipal Council building. A go-to place if you're interested in learning the history and insight of Sibu's history.

I knew from a young age that this beach was like a nightmare to me. Many years later, this place has been my favorite place to jog, relax and hike. I could have sworn there were a lot of people, especially at 5 and 6pm. When I come here, there is always no parking space for me, but I still like this place. The views and design here are great. There are plenty of places to sit and eat fresh coconuts. I would recommend this place. I like it.

Similajau National Park

National Parks
Sprawling park with lush trails, indigenous flora, fauna & wildlife & a beach were turtles lay eggs.
If you're in the the driving distance from Bintulu - including Miri where I am currently working at, this National Park is definitely worth the visit if you have the time to 1) drive to Bintulu 2) have an entire day to spend trekking and chilling at the beautiful beach at the end of the trekking.
The trekking is fairly simple, but it's more challenging in the distance.
It requires trekking for around 9km one way to reach the Turtle Beach II. And a little further to reach Golden Beach - which I haven't been to.
I have been here three times now, and for all three times, the landscape of Turtle Beach II greatly differs depending on the weather and the season. When the time is right: sunny weather, and not monsoon season, the water is a pleasant surprise : pristine clear.

Entrance fee RM 10 for Malaysian. Ample of parking space and restroom available at the registration counter.
However, I feel a bit disappointed that all the trails and hagging bridge were closed for renovation. No news on when it will be open for public. You can only walk from registration counter to chalet pathway and it will lead to the beach, facing the south China sea. The beach side was clean and look deserted.
There is a information centre with video and picture regarding the national park and the beacon project (coral reef restoration program)

When it comes to national parks in Sarawak, this one is among the best. If you want to get outside but only have a short amount of time, the walk to Viewpoint is a great option. Less than an hour is all it takes to go to a stunning viewpoint where sightseers can take it all in, from the incredible rock formations to the lush vegetation. Easy enough for first-timers to enjoy, the trail is great for all levels of walkers.

Just sight seeing and walk around the area.
The hiking trail close for reconstruction. May not open in this few years.
They display the real bones of a dead Curvier Beaked Whale which was stranded in Tanjung Batu beach. 1st record of this in Sarawak & 2nd in Malaysia.
Petronas made an exhibition area where you can read through the flora and fauna around the park.
Cannot swim in the water due to salt water crocodile.
Better standby with repellent spray to avoid sand fly bites. Can be ithcy for many days.
Didn't have activity to do, so we teach our little guy to catch the "tuntudun" @ ant lion like we did when there was no games and mobile phones 😄

Rm 10 for entrance for Malaysians. But the main bridge is still not functioning, tentatively will receive budget end of 2023, and another 6 months for it to be done. Wasn't able to go into the trails, but their beach by the side were pretty.

Highly recommended to walkers/hilers. The walk to Viewpoint is amazing and once there, the scenic view is simply astonishing. A friendly reminder though, as any other Tropical Jungle, you should bring along some mosquito repellent spray or just wear something that covers most of your body. Otherwise it can be quite unpleasant. Overall, it's still worth the hassle though. Have fun.
Amir Md Esa — Google review
Park is open to public but all the trails, except the viewpoint trail, are closed as the bridge is under maintenance. Accomodation is also closed. Long pants and long sleeve shirt are recommended as there are many mosquitoes. Bring your own food and drinks as no stall in the park. Entrance fees is RM20 per person for non-malaysians.

Gua Niah, located in Sarawak, Malaysia, is a jungle area renowned for its limestone caves and archaeological sites featuring cave paintings. The site offers a nice hiking experience with three caves to explore along a long but not too difficult trail. It's advisable to carry sufficient water and flashlights when exploring the caves. The trek is well-maintained and there are refreshments available at the nearby canteen.
A good place to learn about the the human history. Need to walk and hike for about 1.5 hours (3.1km) to reach the Main Cave. The track are mostly on well maintained wooden boardwalk, but there are some sections of paved and unpaved track as well. If planning to go to the Painted Cave (which is the last point of the track), do come well equipped with hiking shoes, headlamp, drinking water and cap/hat. Expect another 30-45 minutes of hiking time for the extra 1km hike from Main Cave to Painted Cave as you will need to navigate inside a dark area with some steep staircases. The total return distance from main entrance until Painted Cave and back is 8.2km.

Saw the old cave man hand painting. Go see it before it fully faded. Be careful that the middle of the caves are pitch darks, slippery and raining if caves water or birds dropping. Go prepared

I've already been to this park 6 times and it never fails to leave a smile on my face. It's a really nice trek through the park and it would take around 2 hours to get to the painted caves segment and 2 hours back out. The site of significant archeological findings which include human remains, tools, artifacts, kitchenware etc (which are on display at the Borneo Cultures Museum, Kuching).
Please remember to bring headlamps as there are really dark segments as you pass through the caves. Always a pleasure to see a wide variety of wildlife that calls this area home. Millipedes, bats, lizards, snakes, monkeys, giant cave crickets, scorpions etc are some of the few things you can expect to see during your trek.
Russell Lee — Google review
Beautiful cave. Some parts are pitch black, so it's recommended to bring torch lights. The entire trail is about 4.2km long (one way), all the way to the painters cave. May take longer than usual because there are many steps, might be slippery especially inside the caves, timber walking deck with spacing in between restricts moving too fast.
Mel JH Tan — Google review
can spend 3 to 5hours inside. if you plan to explore the whole journey rmb to bring a headlamp with you the pathway to the deepest of the cave is dark, there's also someone selling the torch near the entrance of the cave . Must wear proper shoes or sport shoes the stairs inside the cave are slippery
karwei Pui — Google review
Easy hike - walk through the jungle on wooden planks, a number of stairs to climb. In the cave, there is a part where torchlight will be needed. If you go in February and you're lucky, you might be able to chance upon the locals picking the birds nests. Went on a Thursday and the trail was empty.
Winnie Lai — Google review
Being ages since the last visit, decided to bring young ones on the way trip to Miri city. The trekking path has improved a lot but needs better shoes (preferably a trekking shoe) to have better grip on the slippery ground. Roughly 1 hour walk to the nearest cave mouth (Great Cave) & 1.5 hours to Painted Cave. It's good to bring along the torch light & rain coat as it sometimes rains during the walk & dark inside the cave. However there are stalls at the rest station where you can purchase the necessity & also local produce. A good & easy nature experience.
Alan Moi — Google review
Nice hiking experience with forest, caves to explore. It is a long hiking trail but the route is not that difficult to hike or follow. Three caves to explore. Carry adequate water and flash lights to explore the caves. Overall a great hike that took around 4-5 hours.
The trek is open from 8-5. But all trekkers have to be back by 3pm to ranger headquarters. The ticket is 20 ringgits for entry. The trek is maintained really well. Refreshments are available at the canteen near headquarters.
Manoj Ramanathan — Google review
Pleasant walk amongst the wildlife and into the three caves (traders cave, great cave and paintings cave). The pathway could be slippery but it was definitely worth it to experience the sheer size of these caves and also see the paintings from thousands of years ago. Given 4 stars due to the lack of information from the staff in Niah National Park. We weren’t given any times of opening / closing, the laminated sheets of opening times appear outdated and we didn’t receive a map. Having said that it is pretty easy to navigate just stick to the designated path.
Kara Harrison — Google review
The place never fail to amaze. The journey to the cave itself is quite far and on my last visit, it had just rain. So the walk path is very slippery. The cave itself is mesmerising. Do bring torch light. Headphone light is not enough. Use hiking shoes and gloves because of the bat manure are everywhere. Recommended place to go in Sarawak

Amazing. The natural cave just blew me away by the sheer size.
The walk is not hard, just hot and humid. In the wet season the walk is a bit slower simply because the wooden walkway is slippery.
Bring plastic gloves for the bat-dropping-infested rails (which you are likely to use in the wet season) and a torchlight to go deeper into the cave. And bug spray.

An absolutely amazing experience. The cave system was so magical to explore, and the wooden walkways through the forest was amazingly beautiful.

The most wonderful experience of my life.
Attention:
You MUST have non-slip shoes, an advanced flashlight and better equipment.
My friend and I are here for the first time. We were so happy and excited about this short trip because we were able to soak up these beautiful surroundings and natural habitats, but after all the time we spent was kind of really exhausting and also an unforgettable experience for us. It was almost 10.30am when we got there, we left the parking lot and bought our tickets. When we entered, we discovered that there was a cafe next to the entrance. We are going to take a boat to the other side of the river. Going across the river costs RM1, including the return. We were visiting a museum and the staff were friendly and willing to point us where to go and tell us what to expect there. After that I could see our nightmare started and you might ask why because we kinda found out that our shoes weren't cut out for that slippery road. We almost fell down every time once we walked on the boardwalk and stone path. Along the way, you can see beautiful scenery and don't worry, there are some rest areas along the way. Once you reach a certain point (sorry I didn't read the distance on the sign, I'm really sorry) you will see a main resting point as you will see a toilet for both gender and the locals will also selling drinks, foods, equipment and so on. There is also a seating area.
We decided to walk in a bit more because we were a bit curious. We all know that in our Malaysian history books, we will see a house in a cave. We want to see it. After that we saw two roads and we decided to go right. Continuing forward, we saw a small cave. We saw some digging and the fence circle around it, they called it a “new excavations” which was very interesting. The cave is big and beautiful. I have been thinking about how our loving God created this cave. Truly a beautiful place that I just discovered. There is a staircase at the back that you can walk up. Inside was a house we had seen in Malaysian history books. I was really happy and tired because before, when I was in school, I just wondered what I would look like in this picture. Now that I'm here, I feel great.
The most wonderful experience of my life. Things start to change as we see a path from light to dark areas. Really challenging moments that I have experienced. You need to have a torch to move forward. I mean like a torch that can shine really far away. That kind of flashlight, don’t bring a cute little flashlight like us, only God can see it. It was really dark and slippery inside. If you have nyctophobia, I think you can see the house enough and you can turn around, that's just my suggestion, no offence intended. I figured once we got to the resting point at the beginning we could buy a flashlight as well. As soon as I entered, it was dark and we were choosing the right path. We helped each other and finally saw the light. I'm very tired, but I don't regret the decision that I made.
We moved on, climbing onto the slippery mud. I was so tired at the time that I didn't even know the photo existed. You can see the drawing on the wall. When I saw it, it was really cool. After entering, it was already 12 noon. It had taken us two hours to get out again. It takes 4 hours in total. Really worth it. I'm so happy to have had this wonderful experience here. I said it was really worth the time.
The lesson my friend and I learned was that we needed to bring shoes that suitable for the slippery floors and a third point of support. This means sticks that could help us support certain core and dangerous point. So that we could had a better stability. What can be concluded is that going to this place requires better equipment. I heard one of my friends mention that they have a further platform that we need to discover. I think the next time will be soon. I would recommend it. I can assure you that the time and effort you spend at Niah Cave will be worth it.

Breathtaking experience!
The entrance fee was RM 10 for adults & RM 3 for children below 17 years old. In order to cross Niah river and enter the trail, there was a 2-minute boatride that costed RM 1 per person.
The walk from the jetty to the cave took about 1 hour. The walk was very enjoyable as we got the chance to see lots of enormous trees and beautiful sceneries of nature. Upon exploring deep inside the cave at 11.45 am, we were very lucky to get the chance to see ray of sunlight shining through the cave's ceiling!
It is very recommended to use non-slip shoes and bring torchlight in order to explore deep into the cave.

1) Make sure your stomach is not empty and bring water a lot, you need it.
2) Wear proper shoe, very slippery
3) Wear a cap or hat, a lot of bat and birds inside that might give you some 'gift'.
4) Respect nature and support local businesses as well.
5) Bring a bright torchlight.
6) Please arrive early at least around 9am. If you plan to go to the Painted Cave, you need at least 3 hours walking from the jetty
7) Please do not come alone. Just my personal opinion
8) Prepare small change, RM10 for Entry Pass and RM1 for boat transfer 1 way.
8) DO NOT LITTER..
I really enjoyed the trip and plan to visit again.. Gua Niah for UNESCO!!
Niah National Park, located in Sarawak, Malaysia, is a renowned destination that boasts of prehistoric limestone caves and rock paintings. It is well-maintained by the staff and offers a natural experience with no artificial spotlights. The park provides an opportunity to experience the wonders of nature and learn about Guan Niah's rich history. Visitors can take a challenging trek to reach the painting cave, while the path leading to Grand Cave is relatively easier.
Must visit when you're in Miri. Highlight of the whole trip! Came with my family, husband, me & our 7yo boy. It was tiring for me with all the steps, especially on the way out. Super impressed that my son still had enough stamina.
There are some pitch black areas about 1km long in the Great Cave. Painted Cave was unfortunately locked, so we didn't get to see the drawings.
Bat poo, slippery walkway - definitely need good shoes with traction, torchlight & plenty of water. Lots of rest areas & good signage. 1.5hrs drive from city centre, 4 hrs in the caves, 1.5hrs back. It's a good almost full day excursion. Need to leave the caves by 4pm, so start early & plan for snacks in lieu of lunch. Mostly, enjoy the untouched nature, with no mobile reception.

Enjoyed to explore this historic place. Amaze by the beauty of nature and of the historical left. Walkway to the cave is slippery and inside the cave also plus super dark. u need to bring torchlight and gloves.

The must visit place if you are at Bintulu or Miri (1.5hr from Bintulu). Entrance is RM10 for Malaysian. Parking available at entrance, after register, take a boat ride (RM1) to cross the river, will arrive at Musium first (free), then start walking along the pathway to the caves. It take 40 min to reach the first cave(trader cave), another 20 min to reach the second cave (Great Cave), from great cave another 1 hour to reach the Painted cave. Trader cave is the easiest, doesn't involved a lot of staircase, straight path, suitable for children and elderly, Great cave require hike up staircase and the most difficult and need light support if going up to Painted cave.
Recommend to bring enough of water, change of clothes after exploration of the cave, good shoe as you will be walking around 10km (more than 10000 steps), toilet are available at the entrance and also inside.
It takes about 4-5 hour to explore all the caves. Return boat to entrance is RM1 and the last boat leave at 4pm.

The view is splendid, definitely a must visit destination in Sarawak. The only downside is the souvenir shop and rest stop were not opened that day, not sure if it's closed long term or not. The track and route are well maintained, rubbish bins are prepared sufficiently. Overall it's a very memorable experience.

A great place to bring your family and friends for short vacation.
You need to bring your own head lamp and wear sport shoe’s because the cave surface is slippery.
Head to nearby local restaurants to enjoy the delicious prawn noodle.

1) A super quiet Niah National Park, would be nice for those dislike touristy spots
2) Super friendly park office personnel
3) Straightforward park direction
4) Some walking, about an hour or more to reach the main cave
5) Could buy some light snacks, drinks before reaching the caves
👎🏼
6) Kind of lack of any information when one reaches the caves
7) No local guide available to hire to explore the darker parts of the cave
8) The darker part of the cave, kind of creepy

Niah National Park, located within Miri Division, Sarawak, Malaysia, is the site of the Niah Caves limestone cave and archeological site.
Known for the 40,000 year-old human remains discovered, Niah National Park offers a 2-hour walk of jungle walk and spelunking experiences.
A two-hour drive from Miri, Niah National Park can be explored through a plank walk within the lowland forest with a fantastic flora and fauna.
Tiring trek but all super worth it!

Amazing place. Visitors need to take their own torch lights or headlamps with them. Might be not suitable for those who are sensitive to smell and weak on stamina. The whole to and fro trip from the jetty till the end of the Painted Cave could take up to 4 hours, so start your trip early in the morning. Trails could be slippery after the rain. Recommended to travel with friends and bring with you plenty of water.

Came here on a relatively quiet day (weekday, non PH) and had a great time!
Walk ~3km to reach trader's cave --> great cave --> painted cave. At the soveiner shops junction, theres a left turn to go to a nearby rumah panjang (homestay available there too). Advisable to bring insect repellents, some water to hydrate, and for sure a good torch light esp if you want to go through the whole course. Admission fee is rm10 for malaysian adult, and rm1 for boat ride per trip. Well worth the fee, the view is absolutely breathtaking.

Great place to visit!
I have some recommendations:
- take torchlight with you (better to fix it on your head)
- don’t forget repellents
- don’t forget cap (to protect yourself from birds “surprises”)
- take gloves with your (to hold hand-rails properly)
- wear relevant clothes (boots, long sleeve, trousers)
- better to have water, tea, snacks for breaks
- entry fee is 10 rm for Malaysian visitors, 20 rm for non-Malaysian visitors
- fee to cross the river is 2 rm per person (1 rm on a way to the cave and 1 rm on a way back)
- have some cash to get refreshing drinks on a way to caves

why do we need pay for the boat ride (RM1/person/ride) as we have paid RM10 entrance fee to sarawak forest department? If they can build a hanging bridge to cross the river will be a better option instead of relying on the boat that has no license and guarantee.
The park facility is under maintenance such as smelly toilet and broken pathway.....
The cave itself is really magnificent and stunning, the gallery provide sufficient info, staff service is good as well, just unsatisfied on the boat.

Easy 4 hours walk. Flat wooden bridge all the way to the cave. Plenty of stairs in the cave to facilitate your "climbing". Must bring torch light along if you intend to go all the way in the cave.
LP Lee — Google review
Time needed:
1/2 hour to buy a ticket and visit the museum.
- 1 hour on the Rainforest boardwalk to reach the 1st cave.
-1 1/2 to 2 hours to explore the 3 caves on the guided inner boardwalks without stopping.
1 1/2 hour to go back out on the Rainforest boardwalk (slower because you'll be tired by then).
Total 5 hours minimum.
Add 1 hr drive to and from your hotel at miri town. So 7 hrs total. If you keep pace and don't rest. 9 hours is you b take pics and rest.
Wear good shoes, get ready to climb lots of stairs, bring a strong torch each (it's all dark in the main caves), wear a hat and yes, gloves or bring a cloth to hold the railings in the caves where bats and swiflets poo freely (wear a hat!!) Do bring at least 1.5L of water per person.
You need to be mentally prepared and have the time to be at niah caves. I did it in the morning of the day I had to catch an evening flight and regret, cos I was stressed about not making it back to the admission counter (you need to report in and when you're out), and its a good hour each way, to and from Miri Town where I was staying, by car. Also, I got on the flight sweaty and stinky. Sorry, fellow passengers!
I heard good things about the canteen at the admissions counter, but didn't get to eat there because of the rush.
Highly recommend visiting Niah Caves. It's fascinating from geological and paleoanthropological points. But give yourself a whole day and try to start by 9am.
Lambir Hills National Park is situated in the jungle, boasting mature trees, hiking trails, waterfalls and bird watching opportunities. It can be reached within an hour's drive from Miri. However, the journey might not be smooth as there are several road works on the route. The park is usually fairly quiet and has adequate signage to guide visitors along the way; though some signs leading to HQ may be missing.
Great management by SFC! Register ahead via the online portal for seamless entry. Also, closed toe shoes are a must so be sure to bring some. Kayak waterfall is a great hike for toddlers and beginners

Only the 5 km loop was open and there was no access to waterfalls or viewpoint. Most bridges were not kept up and we needed to walk/jump/crawl across. And there are plenty of leeches, so dress appropriately.

Very good park but in need of serious maintenance to the trails and buildings .
The waterfalls are all beautiful though and well worth a visit.

Nice waterfall easily accessible.
If rainy the way can be very slippery and a stick may be helpful.
The stairs and some parts of the trek should be reworked in order to be less dangerous. The ropes are too small and should be replaced by bigger one, more easy to hold.
Leech socks and mosquito repellent are recommended.
Price is double for foreigner, even x4 for seniors.

I have been to Lambir NP since 1991 and have seen the many park changes. MCO hasn't been kind to the NP facilities and trails leading to neglect. A major revamp is required, and Mulu NP/ HQ is a case in point where the upkeep is top notch.
Still love the hiking in the NP 😊.

The park is really great, but the tracks need a lot of repair. Many bridges have collapsed so great care must be taken not to slip and fall so be prepared. The tracks are medium to difficult but lead you to beautiful waterfalls through lovely tropical forest. The hills can be very steep so take plenty of drinking water and make sure you apply insect repellent.

About 1hr drive from Miri. Unfortunately, the journey is not smooth, as many road works on the route.
We were lucky, the park was not busy.
The track is reasonably signage. With at least 1 missing sign to HQ part of the way. Thanks to Google to assist to locate exit.
It's very unfortunate, most of the waterfall is closed.
Very disappointed, RM10/- charged per Adult and our tax money, the wood walkway has not been kept to repair work and safe. The wood walkway is slippery. Please find way to reduce the danger.
Toilet, need repair and cleaning, too.
But, yes, please come and enjoy the flora and fauna.

Perched atop Canada Hill, The Grand Old Lady is a historic site in Miri, marking Malaysia's first oil well. It stands as a testament to the region's petroleum history and has been designated as a protected historical landmark by the Sarawak Government. Visitors often combine their trip with a hike to the summit ridge, which offers breathtaking panoramic views of the city, sea, and verdant valleys.
Interesting place. Lots of things to see and do. Lovely panorama from the top of the hill. Very picturesque place to take lots of photos. There's even a museum to explore there. Ample parking, no need to do much walking or hiking up - this is good for the elderly and those differently-abled.

Must see for Dutch as the city of Miri (nicely seen from the site) was founded on 10 August 1910 by Royal Dutch Shell, during the search for oil at the Grand Old Lady

Its not far from MIRI town. Took us 10 mins drive. Recommended time to visit is early morning becoz its so hot even at 9.00 am. Dont forget your sunscreen and umbrella bcoz the area is sun exposed and no shade area around to rest waiting for your turn to take picture.
It is one of Tourist attraction, so expect big crowd during school holiday or public holiday. There is parking lot in 100 meter from the MIRI signage. Miri town can be seen clearly from up here. its located just behind the Petroleum Museum

Historic and Iconic Landmark in Miri. It’s worthwhile to make a trip to Canada Hill and to see the Grand Old Lady. The whole area is about oil and oil exploration. This landmark pays tribute to the black gold of Miri. The area around the well tells in a few pictures the story of the oil exploration in the region. Very informative and educational. There are plenty of parking places around and the area does not seem to be very busy. We enjoyed being here very much😍.

Canada Hill stands as a timeless testament to the rich history and natural beauty Miri. From its vantage point, visitors are treated to panoramic views of the cityscape below, as well as the sparkling waters of the South China Sea stretching out into the horizon.
The journey to Canada Hill is an adventure in itself, with winding roads leading up to the summit, flanked by lush greenery and towering trees.
Upon reaching the summit, visitors are greeted by the iconic Grand Old Lady, a nod to Miri's storied past as Malaysia's first oil town. This historic oil well, now retired, stands as a symbol of the city's transformation from a sleepy fishing village to a thriving metropolis.
But Canada Hill isn't just about history; it's also a haven for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. The hill is crisscrossed by a network of walking trails, perfect for leisurely strolls or invigorating hikes. Along the way, you'll encounter lush foliage, unique rock formations, and perhaps even a glimpse of local wildlife.
Accessibility to Canada Hill is excellent, with ample parking and well-maintained facilities making it easy for visitors to explore at their own pace.
The Miri Crocodile Farm Wildlife Mini Zoo is a 22-acre facility that houses breeding areas for crocodiles and a variety of exotic birds and mammals. Although the admission fee is considered expensive by some, visitors can enjoy watching the crocs being fed and feed bananas to monkeys, as well as purchase food for other animals at RM1 per cage. Children are welcome to participate in activities such as feeding goats, rabbits, and ducklings.
I love this place! Went there 3 times already. Staffs were friendly. I love talking to Ryan the snake caretaker. He is so knowledgeable in snakes topic. I fell in love with the Albino boa snake named Mia since my first visit there.
The place is big, they have lots of crocodiles of different ages. You can try feed the crocodiles there. RM10 for 3 times (if I was not mistaken). It was fun. Other animals like deers, horse and guinea pigs can also be fed there. Animal feed was RM1 per packet. The horse unfortunately doesn't look like it had been properly cared. It looked sick the last time I went there (in December 2021).
You can enjoy crocodile feeding time too. I don't remember the feeding times though. They'll make announcement when it's time. You'll be amazed how high can the crocodile jump out of the water to reach for food. The sound of their snapping jaws were loud too.
There was a giant crocodile there. Super croc they called it. But, the croc never move an inch every time I visit there. 🤣
There is a small food stall at this place selling snacks and drinks. Toilets are also available. They are usually clean unless there's a crowd there.
This place is quite far away from the city. So, it is better to drive there. Not sure if there is Grab to this place. This place open daily.

Getting there is easy using grab as we were in the city centre but going back we had a problem but luckily the guy at reception helped us get one from Maxim.
There were not many other people except the workers and a few other visitors. Very relaxing walk around the park. All the animals can be fed by hand. Love it.. Feeds are available at 1rm and u put the money in a box. Integrity plays a part. Cos nobody is watching. My kids love feeding the birds, holding the snakes. Feeding the crocodiles, dear, goats, horses, an experience u cannot get in many zoos for free. Some of the crocodiles are put in dirty water, but the large number is in the big enclosure feeding time is like a lucky draw for them. Whoever is fast will get the food. Otherwise they wont get food. Overall, i will recommend this place for the experience for kids and adults.

Really cool farm / zoo. Lots of animals than just crocodiles. The place is really well maintained although it's in the outskirts of Miri.
Feeding Shows
Snake Feeding at 11am and Croc Feeding at 11.30am.
They fed a whole live bird to the snake and left the snake to enjoy its meal.
Roaming Animals
There are some free roaming animals like iguanas, rabbits, goats, large birds that add to the thrill when exploring the place. Not sure if they escaped or are actually allowed to roam.

Had some time to kill in the afternoon so we decided to stop by this farm. Turned out to be quite an impressive petting zoo, with many opportunities to feed the goats and deers, as well as pigeons.
I really liked how some animals were allowed to roam freely outside their cages while others could be easily seen in their enclosures. The deer are very cute and they let us pet them while we feed them.
10/10 would recommend! The entrance fee is 45RM for foreigners but the experience made it worth it. (30RM for Malaysians)
Snake feeding show: 11am and 3pm
Crocodile feeding show: 11.30am and 3.30pm (10RM to dangle two chicken legs by a fishing rod to feed the crocodiles)

Built in 1991, this monument commemorates the production of Seria's billionth barrel of oil.
It reminds me of Texas where these iron donkeys looks like a thirsty bird sipping water if you are looking at it from a distance standing from the monument. These funny looking odd thing actually pumps and draws oil underneath the earth and by that thing the billionnth barrel comes in.

It’s so fantastic to be here. The first thing you should remember is that it’s quite hot, sunny and windy out here so make sure you bring your hats, caps, umbrellas,… along. The monument is here with a lot of oil pumps in different shapes. The interesting thing is all of these machines are working. Besides, the large area of grass gives you a great space to take beautiful photos.

The Billionth Barrel Monument is a monument located in Seria, Brunei Darussalam.
The monument was built in 1991. It was commemorated by Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah on 18 July 1991. The monument commemorates the production of the billionth barrel of oil produced in the onshore oil field in Seria.
the Billionth Barrel Monument resides
along the beach in Seria and is a symbol of achievement in Brunei’s oil production. Commemorating the accomplishment in its name, the iconic structure stands tall and proud for all to see. This landmark is situated on the beach in Seria that boasts of beautiful sunsets and glimpses of oil rigs in the distant horizon.
There are plans to revive the windbreaker canvases every three to five years with new art. The monument itself shows beautiful scenery of the beach that is suitable for family leisure activities. Lastly, visitors could also spend their afternoons in the monument as a jogging area.

The billionth barrel monument is the sign of my comfortable life in Brunei, an abode of peace, a country rich in oil & gas.
To get there from the international airport takes approximately 2 hours drive through a road named muara-tutong highway. It is a non-scenic route but faster. Otherwise, one may use the old narrower roads if one wishes to observe more the urban houses along the way.
One of the higlight is to see the burning torch of oil high in the skyline from the oil & gas plants that will be passed by on the way to the monument. It gives one a goosebump, the rich black gold, the historic fossils , in its raw form from mother earth to us.
The monument will be a quick stop as it is a monument alone. However, nearby a OGDC oil & gas discovery centre is a unit of interactive display & learning centre on oil & gas.
Next to OGDC is a cinema showing hollywood english films and a bowling place.
The monument itself is built right on the seaside wall overlooking the south china sea. And in the horizon one can see an oil field platform.

Iconic Landmark in Seria, Brunei
The Billionth Barrel Monument in Seria, Brunei is an iconic and also important landmark in the area. It was build to commemorate the production on the one billionth barrel of crude oil.
The whole region (including the southern part of Sabah and the northern part of Sarawak) is about oil. It is the lifeline of the region, what moves the region and what helped to build the region. We think its worth mentioning that it also add significantly to the peoples wealth😅.
The monument in itself is nothing special, apart from what it stands for.
There are plenty of parking lots next to the monument and it seems like the place is rather quiet. The walkway to the monument is 'guarded' by pillars with drawing depicting the history of the place. The drawings are very nice and each of them tells one chapter of the history.
The monument is by the sea side and one can spot from there some of the off-shore oil platforms.
As in most places in Brunei, the area is clean, neat and provides for a nice place to dive into local history and why not culture, as oil has shaped the culture of this country one way or the other.
Lang Cave and Deer Cave are located in close proximity. The caves are about 3.8km walking distance from Mulu National Park Entrance. Deer Cave is significantly larger, housing a vast population of bats and consequently, a substantial amount of bat guano on the ground. The smell can be overpowering at times. Nevertheless, it remains an impressively large cave worth exploring.

It's about 1-2km walk from Mulu Park. Cave has a walkway on a platform so it's an easy walk. There are lights in the cave but best to bring your own touchlight. It has a unique jellyfish like formation.

Deer Cave – over 2km long and 174m high – is the world's largest cave passage open to the public, while Lang Cave – more understated in its proportions – contains interesting stalactites and stalagmites.

A comfortable observatory has been erected at a reasonable distance to watch the squads of bats swirl around the cave of the entrance prior to taking off in search for the night.

Great cave system the best in my opinion in the area for a short trip. Regretfully no bar exodus for us 😭
Martin Cox — Google review
Brilliant visit to these caves, awe inspiring on the sheer scale of the underground route of the river going tphrough... and waiting for the thousands of bats to fly out at 6pm is a sight to behold. Our guides were very knowledgeable and considerate to all abilities. If you ever get to Borneo, put the Deer cave, and the caves further along river on your radar. All part of the UNESCO experience, and well managed by the Malaysian government.

One of the most stunning caves in Malaysia to visit, provided you love caves, nature & outdoors. This is the star cave of Mulu Park and is the latest cave chamber in the world.
In my life, I've been here 6 times, last being in Sept 2022, where I came specially for smartphone photography. The highlights are the 100m high ceiling with water dropping down like a scene from Avatar.
Half way in, there's the famous Abraham Lincoln silhouette when you look at an angle towards the cave mouth. Your guide will show you that, and if you move left, you can see the map of Africa in the silhouette too!
Inside, Adam & Eve's Shower are also a spectacular to see with your own eyes. The Deer Caves are truly a must-visit for anyone who loves nature.

One of the coolest parts of Mulu! A building could literally fit inside. Millions of bats to see, bring good shoes to walk, there’s lots of guano and humidity around.

Very beautiful Cave in Mulu National Park. The largest among the 4 opened to public, and as if you are entering Grand Canyon or moon, as the landscape is totally different from outside World. Really worth to pay a visit at least once.

You have to be on a tour that cost @ RM35 per pax to enter Deer and the another nearby cave called Lang! Although if you just want to see the bat exodus and dont wanna enter the caves, that is free. All of these are within the same place and i highly recommend to visit the caves too.
Deer cave is massive big. We came herr while it was raining heavily. It didnt stop our tour, somehow it looked more majestic as we head in the cave. The cave was protecting us from the rain with a beautiful view. We spotted shrimps, fish, labi-labi and of course lotsa bats in deer cave.
The guamo definitely smell but the walk isnt too frightening. The walk requires u to walk up and down stairs a little via a platform but the view changes so you wont really feel more walks required here than some smaller caves.
And THE BAT EXODUS (subject to the weather, tougher to see during rains) is something different! Go for ittt

The ginormous size of Deer Cave cannot be explained and can only be appreciated in person. I was told how massive it is, yet I didn’t comprehend until walk inside the entrance mouth of the cave.
The walk to Deer Cave alone was stunning admiring the forest, then walking around the cave was beautiful.
Be sure to be there in the afternoon for the bat exodus which is mind blowing. Watching the millions of bats fly out of the cave in a smoke formation was one of the best natural experiences I’ve witnessed in my life.
Cannot highly recommend Deer Cave enough.

One of my favorite National park in Malaysia. The guides are professional and friendly, HQ accomodation is good, treks, trials and cave are well maintained. Strongly recommend to stay in HQ to save transport time. Completed pinnacle hike, next time will come back for cave exploration and mulu summit.

We stayed at the Orcid Bungalow inside the national park. The room is newly touched up, everything is quite neat and well equipped inside. No free wifi is the only down side but you get just enough mobile data here. The cafe inside the park cooks very nice food with reasonable price. Breakfast that comes with our booking are freshly cooked. I suggest only pack food for your trips.

A UNESCO world heritage site. The park has individual air-conditioned chalets as well as communal. Staff are friendly. There is a restaurant that serves reasonably priced food and a small selection of achocoholic drinks. The jetty is close by that you take to clearwater cave and other caves. There are guided and non guided walks.

One of the better national parks in Malaysia. Of course because of its attractions. Clearwater cave was great but the Deer cave was mindblowing.
You also can do different kind of other (self) guided tours.
Budi Loonen — Google review
You need to walk from the bat observatory. Don't expect a grand entrance, because you can only see it from inside. So from the cave mouth, you need to walk in about 500 meters before you start to see the main Sarawak Chamber.
I've come here 6 times, latest being in Sept 2022, and I never get tired of this beautiful cave. As you enter, there's a healthy collection of Cave plants, and interesting formations.
Highly recommended and you need a local park guide to visit any of the caves here.

A tranquil place connecting with Mother Nature, the birds, cicadas, frogs, lizards, insects & all living organisms.
Witnessing the exodus of the bats from Deer Cave in a tornado-like swirl at mouth of cave & subsequently in a more linear shape around 5.15PM (GMT+8) was simply Amazing!!
They can fly up to about 80km away from Cave to look for food & subsequently make their way bk to the Cave before dawn.
The formation of stalactites n stalagmites in the Caves are facscinating & beyond words.
Come & experience Mulu! 👍👍

The park itself is absolutely stunning.
However, the Reservation Office of the Mulu National Park is a pure disaster. Rudeness and incompetence like rarely seen before. If you want to book a tour, just book it with the Marriott Mulu, it will be super well organized, you won't be lost in a 30+ people group, and the staff will be polite and nice. Avoid at all costs the Reservation Office of the Park.

A very well managed national park. Friendly staff. We were there on a 3D2N package, the park and rooms we stayed were very clean, good view. The only cafe in this park served local and western food, taste good and food were served very fast. The park guides are professional and knowledgeable. A park worth exploring.
Gunung Mulu National Park, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site, is a vast rainforest area distinguished by its impressive limestone caves and rocky pinnacles. One of the park's main attractions is the opportunity to explore Deer Cave and Lang Cave through a 3km walk surrounded by lush vegetation. The remarkable Deer Cave, spanning over 2km with an enormous height of 174m, is considered the largest public cave passage worldwide.
One's of my favourite 🇲🇾 attraction is GunungMulu National Park
WorldHeritage by UNESCO.
Enjoy 3km walk through the rainforest takes you to these adjacent caverns.
Deer Cave over 2km long and 174m high is the world's largest cave passage open to the public.
Lang Cave is beautiful show cave contains interesting stalactites and stalagmites.
Each evening, crowds gather by the mouth of the Deer Cave to watch the dramatic performance put on by millions of bats as they leave in organised groups to go hunting.

This is the national park that took care of all the caves expedition in this area. Very simple and down to earth set up. Nothing fancy but things are well coordinated. You can approach the office to arrange guided tour and they are super friendly in explaining all the details to you. Guides are knowledgeable and helpful. Price for guided tour is reasonable too. We really enjoy our time here.

On my recent visit to Mulu National Park, I did the Botanic Trail. This was an easy self-guided trail mostly on an elevated platform while certain stretches descend on a pebbly dirt trail which gets inundated after heavy, continuous rainfall. You need to slow down, stop and observe your surroundings in order to see the fauna that are well-camouflaged.
Tip: bring a raincoat, mosquito repellent and a bottle of water. Wooden walkway and pebbled path are slippery when wet.

Very natural place and a lot of walking, climbing and explore. We went to several caves, lang cave is the most amazing one. Deer cave very big, while Clearwater cave nothing much but the long boat ride was refreshing and funs. There are picnic place at Clearwater cave, the meal need to book in advance as there is no restaurant along the way. Hotel Marriott was comfortable though, recommended to stay.

This park is wonderfully organised and run by the team of guides. There is plenty here for everyone, from families to the most hardcore hikers and climbers.
A well marked, accessible path leads to the bat exodus amphitheater (a personal favourite) where you can witness 3 million bats flyover head from Deer cave at dusk. The Mt Mulu four day trail includes overnight stays at camps 1,2 and 3 with basic amenities. And the crowning glory, the pinnacles trail, a difficult and excruciatingly steep climb and descent up Mt Api is not to be missed. The views are simply otherworldly. For those looking for something more relaxing Clearwater cave and wind cave include an unmissable longboat trip (ask to stop at the Penan village for beautiful handcrafted bags and keepsakes) and take swim wear to enjoy the crystal clear cool water after the cave exploration. Trips are best booked either through a company (recommend tropical adventure) or directly with park HQ. Hotels add a significant premium to the price for the same trips.

Pinnacles trek can be challenging for some but if you're generally fit it should be doable. Our tour was very expensive for the value, especially compared to other similar treks in South East Asia. I wouldn't recommend Majestic Leisure. It was 550 USD + Tip for basic food, no porters, and sleeping in a dorm without pillow nor sleeping bag. Mosquito net wasn't included either. The guide was very knowledgeable (he works with all other agencies).
Pablo Mza H — Google review
We arranged the pinnacles trail through the national park and stayed here for 2 nights before and afterwards in the 14 bed hostel, breakfast was included. The communication with the hostel was good, the hostel themselves had comfortable beds and fans. The communal bathrooms could of been cleaner but this wasn’t too much of an issue. The restaurant serves nice food although it is pricey, having said that the restaurants off the park site was just as expensive. The tour was well organised and included Clearwater and wind caves before we headed on our journey to camp 5. The walk to camp 5 is 9km and due to the rain was flooded with leeches (bring leech socks or leech spray)!.
The path is easy to navigate although fallen trees did affect some areas. Camp 5 is a basic number of rooms with a tin roof, open air so no fan but cool enough. You can rent mosquito nets on arrival to HQ before you set off on your tour, double 10RM, single 6RM per night. There is a kitchen with cooking facilities, cutlery and plates etc for making your own meals but no sauces, cooking oil or condiments so make sure you bring your own if you need them. The kitchen staff are very moody and inspect everything you do in their kitchen so just be mindful and prepare to be watched like a hawk. There is boiled water in barrels for water refills and a hot water barrel for hot drinks. The communal bathrooms has cold showers and there is a river on site you can swim in from the jetty if you wish. The pinnacles trail itself was a steep incline for the first 60 minutes, gradual for the next 30 minutes and then steep again for another 60 minutes. There is a range of rope pulling to get up, ladders, metal steps, climbing through sharp rocks and also up tree roots. Some areas are flat. The last 45 minutes is mainly ladders and also little metal bridge type structures to get past steep areas. Bring proper shoes and make sure you take enough water as it can get very hot on the way up. We found the route upwards to be a challenge but also enjoyable and it was nice to have a walk with different variables in it. The view at the top was spectacular and very quiet so you can enjoy an hour here to rest and listen to the nature. The route down is harder as you retrace your tracks. One our our group slipped and cut himself badly on a sharp rock so I would say bring gloves and take your time down. Overall it was a great experience and don’t stress too much about the briefing and timing as we had plenty of time left at each point and even got down in 2.5 hours.

1) The most beautiful nature could offer in the beautiful Mulu
2) The park is operated by very dedicated personnel, kudos to Hein, Bian and team (pleasure meeting all of you while we were there)
3) Truly a world's heritage site
4) It is once in a life time experience
5) Good that the cafe serves some great meals
👎🏼
6) Can be quite busy, touristy
7) The no mobile phone coverage zone could be frustrating, when we were calling repeatedly to Marriott Mulu for a ride back to the hotel
8) Mulu could think about how to attract patrons for repeat visits

Park staff is super friendly and the garden rooms are a pleasure to stay in.
The food in the park is diverse, but average. If you are into Malay food, you’ll definitely had better elsewhere. There are local cafes and restaurants around the park, but they seemed to be closed the whole time we were there.
The Marriott is available to have a luxury dinner if you want. You can use their free shuttle to have you picked up and dropped back.
The guides in the park are very friendly and the tours are great! Beautiful way to explore the flora and fauna of the park.
We had a great time staying here, thanks!

Spent there 2 nights in the offseason. That was barely enough time to do the deer cave+lang cave, the wind+clearwater cave, the paku loop and takeing a swim at the paku waterfall. In 9months of travelling Asia, this was one of my Highlights.
Book the tours at the national park entrance and not online through tripadvisor, klook or agoda. Saves a lot money!!!
You can reach it from KK, Miri and Kuching with MASwings. There are flights everyday.
Also Celcom Sim-cards don't work in there.

I love this park, it is full of nature, animals and insects around. I recommend visiting the Deer Cave and watching the bat exodus in the afternoon. Also, it is better to go back to your hotel and leave the park before 7 or 8pm after you have finished your tour.
Jame' Asr Hassanil Bolkiah Mosque is a grand modern-day Islamic place of worship that boasts four tall minarets and an opulent interior. Its small garden, beautiful fountain, and spacious car park make it a worthwhile destination to visit and pray in peace. This magnificent mosque was built by Sultan as a symbol of his commitment to the country's Islamic heritage. It is renowned for its intricate design and serves as an excellent example of Islamic architecture.

One of the most beautiful mosques in Southeast Asia that I have visited. Brunei has a serene and peaceful atmosphere, which is accentuated when you enter this mosque. The well-maintained lawns, greenery, and overall design of the mosque makes you feel as though you have drifted back in time, into a world that may now exist only in books.
Irrespective of your faith, standing underneath it's vaulted domes and with the beautiful verses of the Quran in Arabic etched all around, you feel both miniscule and at the same time one with all of God's creations.

Simpang 127, Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei
I'll never travel to Kundasang without this trip planner again
The Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque in Brunei is a stunning 20th-century structure built on a lagoon. The mosque boasts marble minarets, lush grounds, and a gold dome that beautifully complement the white and gold color scheme of its design. Visitors can enjoy peaceful prayer at this centrally-located mosque in Bandar Sri Begawan while surrounded by friendly locals who are happy to answer any questions about the facility.
Very beautiful to see! Can't go far inside but if you go during visiting hours you can see a bit. There are guides there also to answer your questions. Just take your shoes off first and then you'll have to wear a black robe that they give you. Overall, definitely worth seeing if you're in Brunei.

This magnificent mosque sits at the very heart of the capital city and the country's Islamic faith.
Built in 1958 and named after the 28th Sultan Of Brunei, it is one of the most impressive mosques in South-East Asia.
Set amid its own lagoon, the mosque seems to be floating, surrounded by lush greenery and floral gardens, while its glittering dome, covered in real gold, soars above the skyline.
Featuring luminous stained glass windows, floors of gleaming Italian marble, walls of Shanghai granite, chandeliers from Britain and Carpets from Saudi Arabia, the mosque brings together the world's best materials in a tour de force of architectural beauty and spiritual ambience.
A marble bridge across the lagoon brings you to a replica of a 16th century Royal Barge, which used to host religious ceremonies, like Quran reading competitions.
At night, the mosque is illuminated, making it a vision to be seen.
Opening Hours :
Sun-Wed, 8am until 5:30pm,
EXCEPT at Prayer times
Closed : Thurs-Fri
Shoes are to be removed before entering.
Dress appropriately
For Men : No shorts, No Sleeveless (wear long pants)
For Women : No singlets, No shorts, must cover leg (wear long pants)
This mosque is simply gigantic!
Like in 1001 night!!!
Beautiful park, beautiful details, beautiful objects!
The highlight is really a walk here in the night!

Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque (Malay: Masjid Omar Ali Saifuddien, Jawi: مسجد عمر علي سيف الدين) is a mosque in Bandar Seri Begawan, the capital of Brunei. It is one of the country's two masjid negara or national mosques (the other Jame' Asr Hassanil Bolkiah Mosque), as well as a national landmark. It is one of the largest and oldest mosques in the country and is named after Omar Ali Saifuddien III, the 28th Sultan of Brunei and the father of the current monarch Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah. The mosque serves as a symbol of the Islamic faith in Brunei.
The mosque took almost five years to build and cost more than £1 million at that time.The architectural firm involved in the construction was the Malaysia-based Booty Edwards & Partners, whereas the consulting firm was the Singapore-based Steen, Sehested and Partners.
The construction work began on 4 February 1954.The construction uses 1,500 tons of concrete and 700 tons of steel.The lengths of the foundation piles are between 80–120 feet (24–37 m).The mosque was inaugurated on 26 September 1958 in conjunction with the 42nd birthday celebration of Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien III.
The mosque is influenced by Mughal architecture.It was accounted that the design was first conceptualised by Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien III and then developed by the commissioned architect Rudolfo Nolli, an Italian sculptor and decorative stonework contractor.
The size of the mosque is about 225 by 86 feet (69 by 26 m) and can accommodate 3,000 worshippers. It has a maximum height of 52 metres (171 ft). The dome is covered with gold. The floors and columns were built of marble from Italy at a cost of S$200,000. The interior houses a chandelier of 15 feet (4.6 m) in diameter and weighing more than three tonnes; it holds 62 fluorescent tubes. The interior is also lighted by an addition of more than 480 tubes.The floors were covered with Axminster carpets, handmade from Belgium and Saudi Arabia.The mosque sits on a 5-acre (2.0 ha) site and almost surrounded by a man-made lagoon. In the middle of the lagoon sits the Mahligai, an artificial barge in which the design is meant to resemble a ship of Sultan Bolkiah, a Sultan of Brunei who reigned in the 16th century. It was inaugurated on 19 December 1967 in conjunction with the 1,400th anniversary of Nuzul Al-Quran, a holiday in the Islamic calendar which commemorates the revelation of the first verses of the Qur'an. Built at a cost of B$500,000 at that time, the barge was intended to be a permanent venue for various national Islamic religious events.

Considered one of the most beautiful mosques in Asia Pacific. It’s an icon of Brunei and well worth visiting. You can enter to view the interior at certain hours of the day (check beforehand). You’ll be given robes to wear at the entrance. Otherwise, you can also walk around the grounds, which were open till 10pm when I went on a Friday. Such a beautiful and tranquil place nestled in the city.

The Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque is one of the most iconic landmarks in Brunei and a popular tourist attraction. It's located in the capital city of Bandar Seri Begawan and was built in 1958 to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien III's reign.
The mosque's stunning architecture combines both traditional Malay and modern Islamic styles, with its gleaming golden dome, marble minarets, and serene lagoon. Visitors are allowed to enter the mosque during non-prayer times and can marvel at the intricate details of the interior, such as the ornate chandeliers and exquisite stained glass windows.
Surrounded by lush gardens and a tranquil lagoon, the Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque offers a peaceful respite from the hustle and bustle of the city. It's a must-visit destination for anyone interested in history, culture, and architecture.

Breathtaking place, nice architecture. The most iconic icon of Bandar Seri Begawan (even whole Brunei). Worth to visit anyway.

I visited this mosque during my trip in Brunei and let me just tell you it is definitely an incredible place to visit. They have an area inside of the mosque for non-Muslims and you can hang out there for as long as you'd like. You can also borrow clothing in the front to cover up your arm shoulders and hair if you are a woman or if you're a man covered in tattoos like myself. Inside the mask is extremely beautiful but I also recommend visiting the outside where there is a boat and a Laguna but you be careful because there are crocodiles in this water as we happen to see one ourselves so please don't stick your hand inside of the water unless you really don't care about your hand. All in all this is definitely a place that you must visit went in the city of Bandar Seri Begawan.

We always dreaming to visit this famous Royal Mosque, so beautiful architectural with golden dome next to small lake, beautiful interior and people are very friendly.
Kampong Ayer is a noteworthy customary settlement located in Bandar Seri Begawan, the capital city of Brunei. This locality comprises clusters of traditional houses, educational institutions and mosques constructed on stilts over the Brunei River in close proximity to the center of the city.
The Royal Regalia Museum in Brunei is a magnificent museum showcasing the history and culture of the country. It boasts a striking golden dome and exhibits numerous priceless artifacts, including chariots, ceremonial costumes, umbrellas, shields, and ancient war weapons. Upon arrival, visitors must register at reception where they will be given a key for a locker to store their bags and cameras. The admission to the museum is free of charge.
A must visit place in Bandar Seri Begawan. Must remove shoes before entering. Lockers are provided upon entry. A nice way to spend an afternoon. An hour is not enough to explore the exhibits. Gives you a brief idea about the sultan's royal life and his coronation. Taking photograph is not allowed on some gallery due to security reasons. Very nice and helpful staffs.

Was very neat to visit and learn about the history of the Sultan there. You could also see gifts from ambassadors of many countries. There were barely any people so very easy to visit. And no fee.

Previously an aquarium, the building now hosts artifacts that tell the history of Brunei and also gifts from other countries. Before entering, you need to remove your shoes and place them on the shoe rack. You will also need to keep your bag in a locker. A key will be provided when purchasing tickets. The gifts are very fascinating and showcase each country's specialties and their relationship with Brunei.

Note that the museum is closed on Friday. Before entering the main door you have to remove your shoes and then head up to get tickets ($5) foreigners. They will provide you with a locker as only cells are allowed. The museum is bigger than I expected and portraits the life of the sultan and Brunei. Very interesting! Highly recommended

Huge Museum with many of the gifts to the Sultan, weapons and clothes. Also two very impressive state carriages used at different ceremonies are on display.
The entrance is free. Shoes must be left outside - shoe-shelves are available. Proper attire is essential to enter. Cameras and mobile phones must be left by the entrance. locker-boxes and coat/bag check are also available.
There is also a small gift-shop.
The staff of the museum is more or less friendly.
The museum is sort of a shrine for the emperor and his family. The wealth and the number of objects on display are impressive.
Its pretty cold (AC) inside - you may want to bring a jacket or light sweater.
Rodya Troyke — Google review
A massive collection that is worth checking out for only B$5. It gives you insight into the current sultan's rise to power with a wide array of artifacts and gifts received from foreign and domestic leaders ranging from his 1967 coronation to today. Though I truly loved that East Timor was like "here's a stuffed animal and a bag of coffee." LOL

This is the most famous museum of Brunei I have read many reviews saying the museum is very small and only takes 1 hour to visit. However not so, the museum has a lot of articles about the king, the palace and the history of this country, if you really enjoy reading you will know a lot more about this country. It took me 3 hours trying to read it all but couldn't make it in time and I really want to come back here.

Nice museum with an eclectic collection of presents to the Sultan of Brunei, from heads of states, ministers and others representatives. You have to take off your shoes before entering and the entrance fee for foreigners is $5. Unfortunately some sections have such a cold floor that I couldn't visit them even with socks. So take sockets, maybe an extra pair. And you need to lock any bags in the lockers, provided for free. Pictures can be taken, but not video.

Spend some time to learn of Brunei's history, specifically Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah. Tips: Bruneian enter free, foreigners 5 Dollars for adults and 3 dollars for children. No camera or video, only phones allowed. You have to leave your belongings in the lockers at the entrance. Photos using your phones are allowed except in 2 areas, and videos are absolutely prohibited. Pro tip: use the panorama feature in your phone.

Our taxi driver suggested visiting the museum, so he took us there. You have to leave your shoes outside on a shelf, wear socks if you don't want to walk barefoot. It was 5 Brunei dollars each. They give you a key to a locker to put your bag in and return the key when you are leaving.
You are allowed to take photos, but no videos. The section with the replica of the throne no photos allowed, it is guarded by army officers.
It is a fascinating insight to the Sultans life and his years studying at Sandhurst Military Academy up in the UK and travelling around the world.
There are lots of gifts given to him by other countries which are fascinating.
The museum is very clean, worth a visit. It wasn't busy when we went, there is a car park opposite if you are driving, not expensive to park.

The Evolution Garden is a much better place to learn about the history of plants than in any classrooms. This garden exhibits how the plants evolve from primitive times to modern era. It is good to know that not only humans evolve, but plants do too. A stroll through this garden will bring one back in time to 3.5 billion years ago, where model stromatolites believed to be one of the longest living forms of live on this planet are on exhibit. Stromatolites are sedimentary structure produced by blue-green algae, the ancestors of all land plants.

Lok Kawi Wildlife Park is a small zoo in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah that houses a variety of animals like tigers, monkeys, pygmy elephants and deer. It is often used as an attraction for visitors to experience a wildlife adventure and it is home to experts from all over the world who can answer any questions you might have about the animals.
Despite the mixed reviews my family and I decided to visit this place on our trip to Kota Kinabalu. It was indeed a good decision. Well kept place with affordable entrance fee. Entertaining animal show from the staff for children and adults. The show starts at 11.15am and takes around 30 minutes or so. My niece enjoying her time watching Borneo Elephant as elephants are her favorite animal. We spent around 3 hours there covering the place slowly. It was a nice and pleasant experience. Recommended place to go with children if u happened to be in the area

Support more and every cents really meaningful.

- zoo keepers are very friendly. Will explain about the animals. Also they let you feed the animals (elephants and bears).
- bird show was fun. At 11:15am / 3:30pm daily.
- takes about 1.5 - 2hours for the whole park. Can end your visit with the bird show at 11:15am.
Slightly run down, not that many animals. But still an enjoyable day out, especially for kids.
It is quite hot….so bring water and hats.
There are some stalls selling drinks and also outside the park there are 1 or 2 small restaurants.

But the show is fun and informative.

the zoo is poorly maintained and it felt like a ghost town on a Friday morning. Zookeepers? It broke our heart to see animals pacing around, looking listless. some animals live in packs, while the rest are either 1 or 2 in their enclosure 24/7. I would not be surprised if it drove them mad. The Malayan tiger was pacing to and fro while the Sun Bear saw us, stood up and asked for food. The birds in the enclosure looked so miserable too.
If the management has no means to keep this animals, i hope they will at least meet the animals basic needs, or send them away to other countries where there are resources pumped in to support wildlife causes.

A fun day at the wildlife park. The park is well laid out to visit everything and you can easily see all the animals. They have good viewing stations and lots of places to sit and rest. Excellent for taking pictures and videos of the animals. They have food and gift places, local cash only. They also have local music and a grand show to sit and enjoy.

I did not have much expectations before visiting this place, but it turned out better than I expected.
There were not many animals in the park, but I was surprised to see tiger, elephants, orang utan , leopard in healthy condition inside the park.
There were 2 shows , one in the morning and another one in the afternoon. The show was not bad.

The zoo offers a diverse range of wildlife, providing visitors with a chance to see both native and exotic species. However, some areas might benefit from additional enrichment for the animals and renovations of the park. Overall, it's a family-friendly destination with a focus on conservation and awareness. Do bring mosquito repellents and extra clothes (sweaty day) when planning a visit, alongside tickets can be bought on the spot.
Yu Chu Chin — Google review
Visited this zoo this morning and it was ok I guess, foreigners pay twice as much as locals (RM20 vs RM10) the staff was nice and the show was fun but this place desperately needs funding, all the different enclosures and cages where very worn down, and dirty, the water was also dirty and full of algae, most of the animals, (and there wasn’t many) looked quite bored.
I read some reviews that there where no restrooms inside the zoo, but that’s wrong, there are several restrooms available inside, there was also a few stalls that sold drinks and snacks so that’s a plus.
I think this place is good to bring kids so that they can get to see some “wild” animals they might not normally get to see.
But again, this place needs funding, Sabah should invest more in this place to make it more attractive for tourists and and also better for the animals, they desperately need bigger and better enclosures with more stimulation.
If you go here by Grab it’s no problem, the problem is to get back to where ever you came from so plan accordingly.

I quite liked it... The animal show was cute but I suggest coming earlier in the morning before the morning show so that you can go back after the show ends because it gets very hot. If coming in the afternoon, it's better to watch the show first and walk around later... I came with low expectations and was pleasantly surprised... The animals get quite sleepy at midday too so maybe they are more active early in the morning and late afternoon... The staff are quite dedicated to their jobs.

Recommend to reach before 220pm which the feeding time on bearcat, sunbear, tiger, orangutan, otter, gibbon and even the elephant start from 220pm sharp 😁👏🏻. So just follow their staff on Bearcat there will do. And also can see Proboscis monkeys (this my main purpose as too far to visit the Weston)

Has lots of potential to be a wonderful spot, with the 5 different islands, but sadly suffers from low upkeep.
The waters are blue and clear (for now), but filled with trash. The islands where the tourists are dropped off are in desperate need of clean toilets and amenities. The corals are all dead, so absolutely no point going for a dive.
The local tourism authorities should do better!

During our trip, we didn’t have to wake up early since it's not peak seasons. We have to stay in a certain island for a limited time so we could have time to explore the nearest island. There are plenty things to do for each places but we can’t do it all. Maybe if you stay overnight then yes. The place was clean and no garbage, they had a designated place where you can put your trash (of course if there's a lot of stupid people then obviously garbage-strewn.) All I want to say, this place is the best.

Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park consists of 5 islands, Gaya, Sapi, Manukan, Mamutik and Sapi, each with their individual speciality. We visited Manukan, the second largest and most developed one with resorts and restaurants. It has area for snorkeling even though not as nice as Sapi and Mamutik but the sea water is still crystal clear. There is monitor lizard wandering around the island looking for leftover food, they wont attack human unless they are provoked.

Superb well maintained natural park with clean white sand beaches, lush forrest and excellent coral and crystal clear waters for snorkelling and scuba diving. Visited in January 2004 on a scuba diving trip with Boreno Divers
Manukan Island, located in the Tunku Abdul Rahman National Park, boasts stunning beaches, opportunities for snorkeling and hiking, and a resort. Visitors can easily access the island by heading to the counter during operating hours which runs from 8am to 6pm. A trip package including visits to three islands along with safety vests and jetty fees costs RM60. It is recommended that visitors bring along mats for picnicking and their own food.
Went here end of march, if you planning to visit islands you can just go to the counter. The operating hours start from 8am-6pm. Last trip will be at 4pm. Visiting 3 island + safety vest + jetty fee cost RM60. Dont forget to bring mat for picnic & foodies as well. If you planning to do activities, you can look up agent at facebook or just go to the counter for activities, price will be expensive tho but worth it. Dont forget you hat & sunscreen. Be sure not to go during payday & holiday, the island will be really crowded.

It’s a nice place for a city break but nothing more. When I got to the jetty terminal at 1.30 pm, there were no more boats. Someone approached me and I chartered a private boat for 200 myr both ways (I didn’t try to bargain)
I visited off season, in the weekday and during ramadan so very few people were here. I got the beach basically to myself. There are facilities here. Toilets, restaurants, lifeguards, resorts to stay overnight. I didn’t try the snorkeling.
I can still hear the noise of boat motors, there’s a view of kota Kinabalu city from here.

a very beautiful island. a lot of places to snorkel. recommended to go during non-peak season to avoid a crowded snorkeling space. very clear water a lot of fishes. we saw sharks too chasing after little fishes. the island also has clean toilets and hotels. the sea water here is warm and cosy. can spend all day with sunscreen on.

One of the nearest islands to the city. However this island is very popular among locals so it is incredibly crowded during public holidays and weekends. With the local crowds, you can also expect the snorkeling water to be murky as there are many people walking on the sand and wearing their normal clothes into the water.
Beware of sea urchins while snorkeling as you don’t want the injured by the spines.
You can see many small fishes and the striped ones near the jetty, but don’t be fooled by that as there won’t be as many at the snorkeling areas. Corals are mostly dead.
You can also spot monitor lizards roaming around which is quite cool.
There is a proper toilet area with shower cubicles (with hook on door to store stuff) for women but outdoor shower for men.
All in all a very developed island but I wouldn’t return for snorkeling.

Packed with people, but this island quite large so not problem. The beach quite wide and clean. Go for walk to sunset point, less people and relaxing.

Beautiful small island. You can do snorkeling, banana boat, paragliding or just simply picnic with family and friends. Love the clear blue water. Better buy or bring your own food and drinks from the main land because it can be pricey here.

Quiet island with clear water and white beaches. Good place to relax and listen to the sound of the waves

Plastic and rubbish everywhere. The beaches are dirty too. There is not even a basic water supply system or waste management system. Nature is damaged here. Corruption and the could not care less attitude of the authorities caused irreversible damage to a pristine ecosystem.

All these pictures were taken during last week of April 2023 and it was one day island hopping (covering Manukan Island and Sapi Island).
What is the best thing about Manukan Island is; apart from beach activities such as swimming and snorkeling, you can do jungle trekking.
Crystal clear is the best word to describe the beach.
RECOMMENDED!

I chose Pulau Manukan & Sapi for the island hopping & it was one of the best decisions I’ve made during my KK trip. Perfect activity for those thrillseekers who are into watersports, snorkeling or even those who just want to unwind, picnic & have a healing getaway while enjoying the phenomenal views of the beach & depending on your luck, clear blue skies & sunny weather that brings out the bright turquoise colour of the sea water. Based on the other reviews, it seems like majority prefers Pulau Sapi over Manukan but from my experience, I enjoyed Manukan more as the beaches were very clean & there were no rubbish to be seen so I have no idea where these reviewers are seeing pollution. Maybe things have changed ever since. While the water is not as clear as Sapi, the beaches are cleaner & the island is a lot bigger with more amenities as compared to Sapi & personally, I think the scenery in Manukan are more breathtaking than Sapi. From the island, you can also see the magnificent KK landscape with the mountains in the back. I would definitely recommend including this island if you’rs thinking of island hopping from KK.
The marine park in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah Malaysia is home to Sapi, Manukan, and Mamutik islands. These small islands are only a 30-minute journey by speedboat from Jesselton point. The clear waters surrounding the islands provide abundant fish life and shaded picnic spots for visitors to enjoy. Many tourists come here for snorkeling, diving, and swimming opportunities. Sapi island has better coral than the others and offers great views of fish while snorkeling.
Went to Sapi and Manukan islands in May 2022. Sapi is really nice, cleaner and the coral is better and you get to see some fish while snorkeling.
Took a boat from Star Marina (ShangriLa jetty), I paid around 130rm for the transport and rental of mask, life jacket and towels for two people. Boats run every hour here.

I did a research before going to these islands. When you go to Kota Kinabalu you can just ride a grab car or maxim to the Jesselton point which is the hop off area to these islands. These islands by the way are part of the Tunku Abdul Rahman Park if I’m not mistaken.
The ticketing area is inside the jesselton point. Booths are already lined up and it’s up to you who to choose to buy boat tickets from. I chose the booth 10 and they offer just the boat rides and add ons like parasailing, walking underwater etc. i chose 2 islands to visit, The Mamutik and Manukan. You also rent the life vest and the snorkeling devices that is not included in your ticket. They automatically chose the island destination for me (maybe because mamutik and Manukan is already near each other). Buying tickets are not hassle as it seems. There is also no waiting time coz the boats arrive every 5-10 minutes i think. There is also a fee you pay upon entering the island which is separate from the ticket you bought from the Jesselton point which is a bit expensive if you’re a tourist and not malaysian.
Manukan island is a bit crowded for me but the beach and the island is beautiful. White sand and beautiful walkway bridge.
Mamutik island is smaller compared to manukan island but for me this is more beautiful than the manukan. The white sand is finer compared to Manukan and a less crowded. I also prefer snorkeling here than the Manukan island because there is a lot more fish here and you can already see lots of beautiful corals even in shallow area of the beach.
There are places to eat in each island I have never tried but I think it’s a bit expensive. There are also a lot in the Jesselton point to eat.
Brix Calpo — Google review
The island was nice, clean, and clear water. They have a restaurant and a local shop to buy food and drinks. Unfortunately, the restaurant was closed 1 hour early the day I went to the island. The beach area is a bit smaller than the surrounding islands. You can snorkel here and rent a clear bottom kayak if you want. There are lots of trees here to get some shade if it's sunny out. There is also a small covered roof at the jetty, for waiting for your boat to pick you up. Island was a bit busy when I was there.

Close to the city. Its an island yet you can still see and you have the overview of KK from the island.
The water is so nice and you can do snorkelling even you are just on the sea side. Great place to relax and chill.

This is a small island which takes about 30 minutes journey for a speedboat to travel from a Jesselton point. Very clean water. Beautiful seawater. Can see the base and the fish just swimming around. Many tourists come for snorkeling, diving and swimming. They spend hours here enjoying themselves in water. Some families cone here for picnic.

Pretty island - but too restrictive on areas you can swim in and you’re required to wear a life jacket at all times - very overpriced to enter for what it is too, with little to no snorkelling views.
If you have time to kill the islands are nice but not the best.
(Malaysia really hasn’t done tourism right compared to countries like Thailand)

Nice beach with white sand, maybe better than Manukan island. But not recommend for snorkeling around the beach. Manukan and Mamutik better in terms of snorkeling site.

Island hopping in Sabah. I thought these islands were more or less the same so I just ticketed two of them.
Then I found out they are not the same. The sands, the water and layout of trees give you a veru different feeling. Just like meeting friends from different walks of of life. Each of them has their own character indeed.

I don't know where the money from the entrance fee goes, but certainly not in maintenance and protection of the island. Only the very first touristy Part is clean - if you take a walk across the island you'll see an abundance of garbage. Shameful.

Sapi Island is badly maintained. It's very dirty and the jetty is so small and fragile. The money collected from tourists surely would have been plundered. There is no waste management system here. Plastic and rubbish everywhere. Pathetic. This is the result of inefficiency and corruption.

K.K, sapi island, Kota Kinabalu, 88000, Sabah, Malaysia
The Kota Kinabalu City Mosque, located within the harbor area of the city, is a majestic place to take photos at sunrise and at night when illuminated and appears to float on the water. It is a working mosque, so worshippers may be coming and going.
Known as ‘A floating mosque’. It is a second main mosque and famous in Kota Kinabalu after State Mosque in Sembulan. The architectural design is based on the Nabawi Mosque, the second holiest site in Islam, in Medina, Saudi Arabia.The dome is blue and gold, inspired by similar Arabic architecture.

Floating Mosque here has three characteristics.
The first characteristic is the temple located on the beach
The second feature is that it is surrounded by a lake, so you can take pictures of beautiful reflections
Third, due to poor sewage treatment, which is characteristic of underdeveloped countries, the smell of rotten gutter and the struggle with mosquitoes must be fought.

As compare to the Shah Alam blue mosque, this is not as grand n the only selling point is the "floating mosque"... but still need to visit since in kota kinabalu... entrance fee (rm5) to be able to go round only the surrounding, another rm5 if u want to take a look inside n if u r not "properly dress", need to dress up their "properly clothes" at the entrance... once inside, there will be "guide" to inform u, which part u could freely roam around n which part is forbidden entrance...

Beautiful mosque with a picturesque pond around it and beautiful gardens. Inside is so spacious and comfortable and just felt like home right away. The best time to go is a little before maghreb prayer to watch the golden rays of sunset on the water, then pray inside and by the time you leave, all the lights of the mosque are on for the night.

Very disappointed. First mosque I've ever been to that charges an entrance fee, which I refused to pay on principle. Perhaps the profiteers need to read Al-Qoran again before they think they can charge to enter the house of God or even take photos from the carpark. Shame and shame again. Is nothing sacred anymore Malaysia, is everything for sale ? "Malaysia Boleh" ? 😔

The Masjid Bandaraya Kota Kinabalu, situated in the heart of Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, is a captivating symbol of architectural elegance and cultural significance. Commonly known as the City Mosque, it stands proudly on the shores of Likas Bay, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding landscapes.
Upon entering the mosque grounds, visitors are greeted by a harmonious blend of Islamic aesthetics and modern design. The mosque's striking white and gold domes, reflecting in the clear waters below, create a picturesque scene that is nothing short of awe-inspiring.
The mosque's interior is equally impressive, featuring intricate calligraphy, beautiful chandeliers, and a serene atmosphere conducive to prayer and reflection. The expansive prayer hall can accommodate a large congregation, and the architectural details add to the spiritual ambiance.
One notable aspect is the mosque's strategic location, allowing a tranquil escape from the urban bustle while providing a sense of serenity and connection to nature. The calm waters surrounding the mosque create a reflective pool, enhancing the overall spiritual experience.
Visitors, regardless of their faith, are welcomed to explore the mosque and its surroundings, fostering cultural understanding and appreciation. The Masjid Bandaraya Kota Kinabalu stands as a testament to Sabah's rich cultural diversity and architectural splendor, making it a must-visit destination for both locals and tourists seeking a glimpse into the region's religious and historical heritage.

It is a good place to visit, they offer two options to get in.
One is only go around and the second one is get into the mosque.
I took the second option, when u take this u should dress up with the clothes they had there. It's a good experience.
It is not allowed to get into the place in which they pray. It's only for Muslims.
It's highly recommend to download the taxi app because it's very hard to get one without it

The museum is nice you can read a lot about the flowers and even about some other things, the guide was friendly and was really thoughtful to make sure we are careful and safe while we were walking even though the path wasn’t neither dangerous or hard at least for us but still very nice from her, and we were also so lucky to see not only one, but three Rafflesias blooming that day! Had a really good time, I would recommend to everyone who loves nature and flowers to come here, I think the money you pay is nothing to see this unique flower, really amazing! So thankful for this opportunity!

We went there to see the flower and that’s all we saw, and don’t expect to see the big ones, they don’t have it here.
We were told that the ticket was good for a full day and that there was two trails with rafflesias but after 700m and the first flowers, we got turned around (even if the trail kept going) without the possibility to walk the second trail, which was contrary to what they said before buying the tickets. Also, the “guide” had no knowledge about the forest other than for the flower. At RM60 per person, I would call this a tourist trap.

I am lucky to have a view of "6 petals" of Rafflesia today. It was so rare!!!! So unique!!!!
The guide is very good and can answer all the questions that i asked. Very informative person. Good!
However, u need to pay separately for the tour guide experience. So, I suggest you come in a group to share the fees.
Without a tour guide, you may "sesat".
Just.. i was a bit shocked by the tour (my body almost cant take it, due to health problems).. He/she must mention clearly, how far is the trip@tour@journey to see Rafflesia. Although the road is concrete, it is quite far and slope.

Friendly staff and you get instant reply from them. Do contact them in advance to ensure there's blooming flower. Recommended to go by group because it charged MYR 50 per guide for 5 pax (do note that there will be additional permit charge as well). You could refer Facebook Page "Sabah Forest Department" to get an update of blooming season and the fare.

It was raining when we visit the place. Registration cost rm10 and we are so lucky to get to view a bloom flower on branches.
The lady guide has a deep knowledge of rafflesia as well as the areas around. The way back is so challenging with rain and steep alley.
Thank you for the fruitful journey

Highlight of my trip in December 2023. Initially, I only thought this place is just an information centre on rafflesia, more to gallery and museum like. Upon researching it was not.
I was so happy that there was a rafflesia bloomed during our visit, it was day 3. Do join the tour, very informative and of course you get to see and touch the rafflesia.
If i was not mistaken, the tour guide fee costs RM 50 + RM 5/person

Worth every effort. My journey from Sepanggar to RIC took me on a 1h55m drive with scenic and panoramic view of the mountain range and the villages. Travelling solo after getting the information from their Registry Office informing the bloom. And I was super lucky to witness a rare twin bloom! My Guide Marilyn was polite and fast to show the blooms with stories and information about Rafflesia and its habitat. Joined by Guide Wanisah who was superbly informative with the details of flora and the rainforest medicinal knowledge based in her heritage of Dusun. Super impressed. Both were friendly and accommodating and passionate about their field. Paid about MYR50 for guide fee and MYR10 for entrance fee. Personalised service and had a great chitchat along the way too. Do take your time on each step on both ways as it can be quite slippery. My journey to the blooms was exactly 1000 metres but can be quite tiring for some. As long as you take one step at a time, you'll enjoy the serenity and peace of the rainforest. 100% recommend it. PS: Guide Wanisah was helpful even to recommend to visit Gunung Alab Sub Station to check out the view. Thank you!!

Needs to improve:
- English level of the guides

- Have a kids approach
- Fix the walkway. All rotten by water.

- You go for nature, you get it
- Easy carpark
- Staff very service oriented despite the numbers of limitation
- They collect you number to share then blooming alert

Very good informative guides. They guide you towards the blooming flowers and answer all your questions about raflesia's. Also have a look in the information center, where you can see the diverse spieces and information.
If the weather conditions are bad, due to rain, you also can rent boots at the center.

Great place to see Rafflesia! It’s a bit of a hike through the jungle to get to the flower so be sure to wear proper attires. You can even text them to know if the flowers are in bloom before making your way to Tambunan. The guides are friendly and informative
The Shangri-La Rasa Ria Resort Nature Reserve in Sabah offers an opportunity to explore a vast expanse of protected oceanfront forest, brimming with indigenous flora and fauna. Managed in collaboration with the Sabah Wildlife Department, the reserve spans over 64 acres and boasts a peak that rises 95 meters above sea level.

This was my fifth time staying here. Upgraded my room to sea view and we got the room at the 6th floor. Since it is school holidays and it's the weekend, the resort had full occupancy. Check-in was a little bit slow but we were able to get our room right away. My children enjoyed the Adventure Point, the beach and the pool. Room service for in-room dining was very easy; scan QR code, choose the menu and submit online. The food is yummy! Masks, hand sanitiser, wet wipes are prepared for guests. There are many other activities provided at the resort but we didn't manage to enjoy it all. You should stay here at least for 2 nights to enjoy all of it. Great customer service too.

Did the two hour “Nature’s Symphony” at the Reserve, which was brilliant. Our rangers were excellent; really knowledgeable and friendly. We started by tasting some of the local “stingless bee honey” straight from the hive. We saw lots of native flora and fauna and got to see some stunning views from the top. The hike is a bit challenging at times, so it’s something to consider when booking - you need to be comfortable with steep sections on the way up and down. We stayed for a drink and snack on the beach afterwards, which was lovely (but expensive).

Thank you Thim, Dhino, Ezra, and a few others at Rasa Ria Reserve /Discovery centres. To us, They were more than just guides, they did their daily routine of hiking, entertaining and keping all guests happy and satisfied with an one-off unforgettable experience!
They are what I call as serving selflessly with passion. Thim has vast knowledge and good observatory skills, Dhino is a joy and highly experienced with his stories and Ezra with smiles of angel. The hikes were easy and can be done for all ages if you are fit, I promise the best sun rise view if you are lucky, in entire Malaysia. We enjoyed the canopy walk , the archery, the stingless bee tour and wall climbing! Well done guys and keep it up!

The Reserve HQ is very informative with maps, info boards, photos and presentations. We were welcomed by very friendly rangers and then taken on a very low stress hike to the Canopy Walk with several stops to point out some vipers and a 'logodile' 😀 Our guide was Ranger Halim, who was very friendly and full of facts about the flora, fauna and Sabah in general. The view from the canopy is excellent and crossing on the hanging bridge was fun. They have very good bug spray if you need it - it's recommended! Very enjoyable.

Tuaran Crocodile Farm is a captivating attraction with over 1000 crocodiles. The farm offers live crocodile shows where workers interact with the reptiles, including feeding, hugging, and kissing them. Visitors can also see various crocodile species such as Buaya Tembaga, Nile crocodiles, Aqua crocodiles, and Gharial crocodiles.
Good place to visit with your family. Clean environment, a lot of crocodile🤣

It’s great for a walk for young children, but probably for older age, my 1.5 year old son doesn’t care about crocodile at all and since they don’t move, he can’t spot them also HAHAHA but he spot the otter (seems very lonely, I feel sad for it), catfish, rabbits and those that move. 😂
Also, it’s first time I saw a bearcat (and get to know this creature). It’s amazingly beautiful and furry, sleeping on the tree. It will be great if more info is provided at the enclosure~
Grace Chow — Google review
I had high hopes for this place but unfortunately I have to say I was disappointed, just like the Lok Kawi zoo, first of all foreigners pay more than locals, RM35 vs RM18.
This place is completely run down and desperately needs funding, the whole place is run down and not kept up at all, all the enclosures where worn down and dirty and the water was dirty or full of algae, ok I know, it’s alligators and they naturally live in rivers/ocean but at least there they always have “fresh” water, here in the other hand there wasn’t even enough water in many of the enclosures to cover the alligators and they all did their best to try to crawl in to a corner to try to get some shade from the hot sun.
There was a few enclosure with other animals too, one was a bearcat and one had single macaque, both looked miserable in their small dirty enclosures with no stimulation what so ever, same for the monitor lizard and some other animals.
At the far end it looked like there was an enclosure for birds maybe? But it was empty and run down.
The so called crocodile show was not much to write home about either, just 2 guys poking the 2 alligators with sticks to get some kind of reaction out of them, they got one of them out of the water and one guy walked on the back of the crocodile and the other guy put his arm in the mouth, that’s it, the show lasted for maybe 10 minutes? After that it was feeding time, they threw in some half rotten chickens that you could smell from far away and the crocodiles didn’t even bother to take any of them.
Would i recommend a visit to this place? Unfortunately no, it’s just not worth the trip and the cost of entrance fee, again, this could be a nice place to visit if it was kept up, clean and better enclosures for the animals but as it is now I can not recommend it at all.

Good experiences get to see the crocodiles infront of you. Staff services was excellent, giving a clear instructions and assist the visitor nicely. Unfortunately, there's lot of empty and broken cage. I'm looking forward for their improvement and will come here again.

Crocodile farm is good and excited…. But not the head hunting exhibitions, no excitement at all…. Price not really worth for the small exhibitions…

It was a frightening and stomach churning experience looking at apex predator up close. New phobia unlock.

The place looks a bit old. But a good place to bring kids to learn about the animals. They have a few other animals other than crocodile - arapaima, bear cat, monkey, eagle, deer and koi fishes.

This place live up to its name. Entrance fee is okay in average. Most likely can be called a mini zoom because they kept other animals such as rate fishes, otter, butterfly, rabbits and monkey. They are selling merchandise and also photo for your memory. Unfortunately we got our photo blur and we have to pay to get 2 a3 size photos. I must say im disappointed on our photo that we pay for rm50 (rm25 each).

The Tuaran Crocodile Farm. Need to be better managed. The other animal cages 1 monkey, 2 snakes and two big fish ponds. Poor upkeep and left the visitor lost in the park. Need more signages.

Have been here since the opening of the farm, a lot has changed. There was a “head hunters of Sabah” exhibition before entering to see the crocodiles. You’re able to hold a baby crocodile for a very small fee. A lot of animals to see. Crocodile feeding and shows went on during specific times of the day. There was also a rabbit petting zone too which is very nice for young children. There were food sold by the packets to be given to the rabbits as well as the fish (there were a few ponds of fish which includes koi. Only thing they could improve on is the cleanliness and maintaining the landscape of the farm, it would be a waste to see surrounding areas full of overgrown grass and abandoned enclosures.

Great place, not too small and not too big. Not so tiring to walk under the hot sun. Most of the shows are at 11am or 3pm on weekdays and 1pm on weekend. It's better to come early like I did so that it's not so crowded and hot. I like to watch crocodiles so it was a nice experience to see them feed and read stories about them. Some of the crocodile statue were actually real, they are dead from getting shot or fighting among themselves. There are also rabbits and other animals if your children are scared of the reptiles. At the entrance photo will be taken, mention to the counter if you want to take photo with a baby croc and pay extra RM5. The cheapest photo souvenir is RM15. They sell croc eggs by season, oil, balm, organs and meat as well.
Poring Hot Spring is a popular resort complex located in Kinabalu Park, offering outdoor pools filled with natural mineral-rich hot spring waters. The attraction features an outdoor pool consistently at about 33 degrees Celsius (92 Fahrenheit) with natural minerals and a cascading waterfall, known for its therapeutic properties that can relieve tense muscles and skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis.
Good place to tour even doing the canopy walk. Breathtaking scenery and be careful with canopy walk that you choose designated photographer as you will need to pay a fee. But be careful you have something to keep camera safe as you will lose it if you drop and may not be able to recover your camera/phone.
I would recommend going to Hot Spring as part of a tour group. Not sure I would recommend swimming or wading in the hot spring as not sure how clean the water is.

Lovely place, where all the Sabahan grew up in 😂
It's quite crowded, especially when we visited during public holiday. Car parks are pretty much full, but if you're staying here, you get to park at your own space next to your house.
Love the River Lodge, a 2 rooms chalet, very big space for a big group. Shower rooms are big surprises. The whole house is next to the river, so you get a whole day zen vibes hearing the sound of river flow.
What's more notable, while you definitely can sitting together at the balcony to enjoy the scene, beware of snakes 🥲
Restaurant is, okay that's the only place you can get food within the Poring, but definitely not a place for good food; not even breakfast. If you are picky, if you must eat good food while visiting and staying overnight, go outside. But if you like to support, you're steady and laid-back, then there you go. An extra note, you'd also needed to purchase a ticket to enter the area, just to get to the restaurant.
Lovely place still, highly recommended to visit ❤️

A really lengthy drive's end to a relaxing bath, but worth it as the water as good as it says, except for the lack of cleanliness in some of the pools from previous users, the water is excellent and you can really wash away all the stress of the day. Worth it for the Geo Park trip alone.

Good to walk in a well managed rain forest. There you can see exotic plants, leaves and ants extraordinarily large.

Good spot to visit with family. Relaxing area after a long drive. After entrance payment, can pay additionally for hot spring bathtub, yes you read it right, it’s bath tub to submerge not a swimming pool. But it’s said to be sulphuric hot spring bathtub. We opted to walk to water fall inside about 10-15 mins from entrance. It was worth it. Washrooms were clean. Friendly and respectful staffs. Remember to bring cash everywhere because there is no internet line for QR pay sometimes. We could not enter reflesia park(there was reflesia flower bloomed during our visit) because could not use QR pay as we left our cash in locker room.

Worth to drop by for Mt.Kinabalu hikers
reason is that you can soak your legs in ready Hotspring for muscle relief.
Entrance is free for those with Kinabalu Park tag, the validity is up to 3 days from the date printed in the tag.
as I remember in year 2015 i went for canopy walk is free of charge, but this round they charge Rm5 per pax.
for Hotspring is inexpensive, come with public n private pool.
For canopy as do as recovery hike, but if have joint paint then better dont go for it.
Parking is free.

A good place to bring families & friends for fun activities. Among things to do include hot spring water, natural river waterfall, visit butterfly farm, canopy walk (not for the faint-hearted or weak knees) & mini water park for kids.

Some beautiful scenery but I would not do the many many steps and 5 suspension bridges again. I hike regularly but this was an endurance test and some railings were shaky. I should have had a walking stick. I'll leave this for younger people! Toilets and restaurants are just outside. The Restaurant Sejati is modest but gave us a good Malaysian meal..and there was a cat!! :) don't worry, he was at an outside table.

Spent an afternoon soaking in natural spring water. I must say that this is an interesting experience. Felt like big kids playing in a bathtub 😆 🛀
We were there at 2pm and there wasn't many people so we opted for the open public bath
Under every shelter, there are 4 tubs. Each tub cost RM10 for 3 hours. We decided to take just one and squeeze in 🤣😂 there are 2 taps of spring water. Larger one with cold water (think fridge) 🥶 The other with hot water 🔥 (think slightly cooled boiled water)
I tried to endure the cold water as much as I could until I could not take it anymore, haha! I was asked if I would be slightly uncomfortable hot ot cold, and I said hot! LOL
The spring water smelt raw, There is a slight unpleasant odour which you would get used to after a while.
We had fun chatting in the tub until we were all wrinkled. And it is interesting to note that . My stainless steel ring reacted with the water. It turned "gold". Haha, not a bad deal, eh 🤪
We skipped the enclosed private suite that cost RM25/35 per hour. It has a private shower and changing room. There is one with a jacuzzi in it too.
It's a nice place to chill and chat, but it would have been a better experience if it had a garden theme to it. It was all tiles and awning. Would have made a huge difference if we could see the sky and flora. Regardless, I would be happy to r back.

Favourite hot spring frequently visited by the local. Pay a small entrance fee and you can use one of the tub for yourself. Quite clean and fun to spend a few hours here. The spring water has no smell at all.

Superb place to spend time if you love outdoor adventure. We thoroughly enjoy the hanging bridge. A total of 5 bridges. Each of them connected via 5 large trees. Each span about about 80m to 100m in length. Nice view from the bridge and the interconnection platform. Bear in mind, please wear proper attire as you'll need to climb/hike up considerable distance/height before reaching the hang bridge first check point. Sportshoes if you like as well. We then head up to Kipungit waterfall. Just walk about 500m from the bridge entrance/exit gate. Nice waterfall. There is another one ahead. Need to further walk about 3km if you want to go to Langanan waterfall. We do not try the hot water bath as they are crowded with visitor. Overall, superb place to visit while in Sabah. Certainly one of the best. From thewhitehairedguyandfamily

Such a rip off. You pay 50rm to enter then everything inside costs 10rm each for the canopy and the hot springs.
The hot springs took 90mins to fill...you get 3 hours so factor this in.
The rock pool was also closed.
The scenery is nice but I don't feel it is worth the cost.

Definitely worth the visit if you have time while in Kundasang.
Soaking your feet was okay but canopy walk is a must. It's a bit of a hike but worth the effort.

A lot to see. An exciting experience the catwalk. About 40m above the ground. Wonderfull sight. You see a lot of big broccolis (trees)
The waterfall is also nice and pleasant to cool off
Hot springs and a rock pool. Take along bathing suites and towels. You will enjoy a cool down after your walking.
Lovely flora. We enjoyef very much

The Hot Spring area is really well-maintained. we also enjoyed exploring the botanical area and seeing all of the different butterflies and bugs that they had on display found a stick bug and a really cool spider and definitely worth the trip. Also, it's worth noting that if you buy a ticket to enter Kinabalu Park, it works here as well so save your ticket.

Nice place to visit especially if you are a nature lover. Clean & well maintained park surrounded by beautiful rainforest & cool fresh air.
The hot spring is actually situated inside the Kinabalu Unesco Geopark. You will need to pay an entrance fees for the park & then pay separately for the hot spring tubs / saunas / pools or sulphur ponds when you are inside.
The hot spring is the first stop when you entered the park.
As you continue on within the Geopark, you can have access to the Canopy Walk, Butterfly Farm, Rafflesia Sanctuary & the waterfalls (Kipungit & Langanan).

Tiket : RM10 / PERSON (Malaysian Citizen) only for Rock Bath , Kipungit Waterfall. Add RM3 again for another swimming pool.
Parking : Full Parking . Need to park outside
Waterfall : You must have a bottle of water . You have to walk from the bathtub there.
Have improvement before this.
I think this place should place more Big Dustbin.
Amazing Place to visit

Do not go here, it's a total waste of time, you can't go near any hot springs! Other than the canopy walkway and a hike up to the two waterfalls, this place is super overrated! Not worth the MYR 50 entry fee
