Educational too - we run presentations on local geology and archaeology. We can supply you with all equipment and protective clothing - bring a towel and T-shirt. Dangerous? No! We have an excellent safety record which makes Kuching Caving as safe as shopping. "The best thing we did in Kuching" is the reaction from most of our guests. Western managed. Established 2007.

“3 great days of adventure”

Reviewed 8 May 2013

We spent 3 days (Culture, Caving and Off road) with James and his staff. James was very accommodating and tailored each day to our personal requests. The Bidayuh home stay, jungle walk and lunch prepared in the jungle did not seem "touristy" and the interaction with the people was delightful, including an impromptu birthday celebration during the dance performance. We... More

“The truly "Amazing Road to Hell"”

Reviewed 25 April 2013

I recently booked three UK tourists onto the "Big open Spaces" caving day and joined the party. One of the guests, a UK GP has a phobia of tight spaces, spiders and lacked confidence in water! I am pleased to report that all three areas of initial concern were soon addressed and cured with this experience. The day was absolutely... More

Thanks for the review Chris. We're glad that you all enjoyed it and especially that those who were a little fearful of the experience ahead ended the day smiling. Many guests go caving with some trepidation. Most of those (not all) end the day proud that they have conquered (or at least faced) their fears. As I say in the... More

“Brilliant eperience”

Reviewed 1 April 2013

Thank you to James and to Mr Ekol for a fantastic journey into the dark and the deep. Big spaces and cool springs is definitely well worth stepping away from the beach for. Highly recommended.

Away from one beach and onto another - there are 2 inside cave 2. But no sunshades and the drinks service is useless! Thanks for the review Steve. We're glad that you enjoyed the trip and look forward to dragging you away from the beach again :) More

“An Indiana Jones Adventure!”

Reviewed 22 March 2013

We took up the caving day out with James, Mary & Mr Eko not knowing what caving is all about. We were in for a nice surprise... It was a great adventure for us, especially for our 8 yr old son, who declared this was the best part of our Kuching Trip, in fact even beating the recent snorkelling trip... More

“A great day in the caves (Sep 2012)”

Reviewed 15 March 2013

Thanks James for a great day in the caves last September! We (Juha and Elina from Finland) got a fantastic experience with a little excercise (swimming, climbing etc) at the same time. The caves were spectacular and James and the local guide (Mr. Ekol) provided great information about the history and geography of the caves. Highly recommended experience!!! Thank you... More

Juha and Elina hi. Great to hear that you have survived the Norwegian winter. If it was anything like the winter that they had in England (and it was probably much worse!)I wouldn't have survived! We have been working on some new products so next time you head to the East (and the sunshine!) do please get in touch. Thanks... More

“Unforgettable experience!”

Reviewed 2 February 2013

It's just been an amazing! Kuching caving was an adventourous, educating, fun, memorable, and extremely unique experience. We learned a ton about the history of the place, the caves and their dwellers, and even got to meet some of them (btw I found that bats are actually way more adorable than I expected :-) ) I was quite apprehensive of...

Thanks for your great review. Bats need to be re-habilitated! All this blood sucking reputation just isnt what they are about. And whilst you would not want to be bitten by one, they dont want to bite you either. Sounds like the makings of a great relationship! More
