Deer Cave, Sarawak, Malaysia
4.5 (236 reviews) Spent More than 3 hours Ranking #1 in Gunung Mulu National Park Caverns & Caves
Wow! the word impressive doesn’t even come close
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.

I have seen many caves around the world and this is an absolute natural wonder of the world not to be missed!! Knowledge of the guides was fantastic and to see the bat exodus and learn about the HUGE colonies of bats that live in this cave was amazing!! I would definitely visit again!! Absolutely wonderful!!

***********Bats and more Bats
The cave itself is just a major enclosed space. What makes the cave special is the 2 million bats. There are some 8 different species who co habit. They all leave the cave en mass to feed most evenings. The problem for sightseers is there is no standard departure time. It can be from 5.15pm to dusk (7.00pm). So it is possible to go to the viewing area and see nothing as they have left at dusk. The 3 kilometre walk back in the dark is an experience. Pack a torch. You will need it.
