History of the caves incredible - One of the best day trips I’ve ever been on. The site is not only beautiful, it’s steeped in history and very interesting. Traveling through the caves gives you a glimpse into how people lived there years ago. Allen, the guide was amazing. He did an excellent job explaining everything. Bring a flashlight.

A memorable day in Niah Caves - It was truly an amazing experience in the limestone caves and the trek through the rainforest. Our guide, Allen Ting, was extremely experienced and knowledgeable. He demonstrated it in detailed explanations about the vast variety flora and fauna. He was very patient and paced our trek to suit our ability.

Interesting experience - Our guide, Sazali, from Asian Overland Tour, was friendly and knowledgeable. The caves themselves are also interesting for offering a glimpse into the history and people of the region. Visitors should remember to bring torches if they plan to explore the deeper recesses of the caves.

A great outing - The trip to Niah National Park and Niah Caves yesterday (13 July) was rewarding. The enlightening and educational commentaries by Allan as we walked up to the caves meaningful and enjoyable. The forest, flora, butterflies and streams aling the way up got us engulfed with nature. The majestic caves, walking in the dark and seeing the way of harvesting birdnests were eye openers. A great outing it was, touching base with natural surrounding and seeing livelihoods of the local people.
