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.

Fantastic caves and rainforest expérience, a longer walk than I was aware of from the advertisement - The guide was outstanding and very informative with a sense of humour. An easy trail to follow and magnificent views. The caves were enormous.

Beautiful - A beautiful day, we saw incredibly beautiful things. We were mixed to a super interesting group and guide who knew the tour and it gave us time for photos and answer our questions. So many things to see that I would gladly go back

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.

Amazing caves - Allan was an excellent guide very knowledgeable and patient, pointing out interesting plants/ snake/ ant nests on the trees and insecst on the way through the jungle. Unfortunately we were unable to reach the painted cave as I am a slow walker, but thugh disappointed with that as that was the reason I chose this tour, The caves we saw (Trader's, Great & Moon, which was so bright that I thought there were lights!) were amazing & I was happy enough with the day. And very tired after the long walk!

It was very interesting & wonderous! - Alain was a fantastic guide: immenslely knowledgable, pointing out interesting plants etc, on the way, answering all questions (always aware that
someone wanted to ask), and patient. Unfortunately we didn’t make it to the painted cave as I walk slowly, but I tried and was happy with the tour. I would recommend both it & more especially Alain, despite the long hike (I have an arthritic knee on one side and an unstable ankle on the other, so it was a bit difficult for me!)

A great outing - A good outing, nice walk under the canopy of natural forest cover. Wild flora and running stream, good ambience, as we walk up to the caves. Huge and majestic caves and eye opener to see how birdnests are harvested. A good experience walking in the dark on stairs with torch light. Best to engage a guide for better graps of the historical and present livelihoods of the peopke depending on the caves and ssfe moving around in tge 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.

No idea never happened - Booked and paid for the tour but the operator cancelled two days before and could not reschedule until next year! Why offer a tour if you will not operate it if numbers are low.
