So how big and impressive is Niah Cave? Well, you’re just going to have to take the journey with us into the darkness to find out…

Activities in Sarawak are really challenging. Mulu National Park is the heart of Sarawak, it is more interesting than Niah Cave, but it can only be reached by air.
Mulu looks absolutely gorgeous. Hope that we are able to visit one day!
There is so much to see on this beautiful island!
Further deep into the cave, there are beautiful stalactite and stalagmite formations. That is why a good torchlight important when exploring this cave.
I always appreciate the education and travel with you two. Peace and blessings from Connecticut.
Thanks for always adding light in the darkest of caves!
We are glad to have you along for the journey!
*Thank you for sharing this very good videos*
Thank you for the kind words and support!
Mantap Bro 👍🏼
Thank you so much for tuning in!
We hope that you enjoy the show!
Bat poo is gold. Just waiting for some entrepreneurs to mine them and sell them as premium organic fertilizers.
Hopefully they leave Niah alone, it is stunning as is!
That's been done in earlier times but birds nest and bat poo are no longer done as the cave is a protected site now.
brahhh use your own poo
its better
Thank you for coming and Welcome to Sarawak, There is more to explore in Sarawak.
We absolutely love Sarawak! 🇲🇾
I do enjoy each of your videos. Thanks. I have been following a long time but this is the first time I have commented.
Thank you so much for tuning in and being a part of the adventure!
We are so glad to have you along for the journey!
I am from miri. I visited this cave in 1991, when I was 17 years old. I'm glad that they don't build a bridge across the river!
I give your comment a thumbs up because I don't like how the tourists in this video being sarcastic about it, and how the woman laugh, kind of annoying.
@revilo43 It is such a wonderful place to explore! I hope to go back in 30 years to find it is still just the way it is today!
@@rajawalisoars251i give your comment a thumb down for being negative. Shame on you for projecting your negativity on others.
Know what! I look so forward to seeing your videos every week but what I really look forward to seeing are your bloopers at the end of each video. I think you guys need to do just an all bloopers (not poopers) video.
See yah next week!😅😊❤
ha! 🤣 We will definitely have to put together a "Best of the Bloopers" episode!
Thanks for tuning in and laughing along with us!
We want more tourist like this
Thank you for the kind complement! We are loving this part of the world!
Hey guys. I’ve catch up with your adventures from episode 33 to here. Loved everything, all the moments ...loved your videography, those beautiful shots of the ride... the mountains, the roads and those moments when you stopped and “smell the flowers” - like walking across the cable bridge over the river, moments with the people, those cats and dogs. Woww
Enjoyed every moment you spent in the Celebes Sea - swimming with the fishes in those crystal clear waters. And now - “BAM!!” you’re the dynamic duo doing THE bat caves!! Awesome photography, beautiful narration - I can even “smell that pungent smell” when you described the guano thingy.
Loved your adventures guys. Peace and stay safe. Looking forward to more adventure stories from you. PLUS - can’t wait for your upcoming Borneo tours adventures videos!!
🤩👍✌
We can't thank you enough for your detailed commentary of our episodes! That means the world to us!!
You just made us both smile from ear to ear and we are so grateful to have you along for the journey!

Awesome! Thank you so much for riding along with us!
That means the world to us!
Latest News! Niah Cave has been recently listed as UNESCO World Heritage site 😁
Hahahaha! Love that jungle cruise ferry trip. Fortunately the boat motor started or you may have had to set up camp.
What an amazing cave system. Just the walk getting to the cave was an adventure. The instruction video didn't tell you to wear a mask? That's a serious oversight. They could rent full helmet type gas masks and everyone would pay extra for one when they got to the cave. Good fun music to fit with the trip! I'm looking forward to the next video from inside the Bat Cave. Did you see Robin?
🤣 Masks should definitely have been mandatory! I can still taste the stagnant air! I didn't see Robin... but Marisa can pull off a pretty cute Catwoman! 🤣
Oh my! This was so intriguing …. I enjoyed ALL the laughter… and knowledge regarding bat poo. Yuck! You certainly are a strong woman to venture in there. Looking forward to the next one… medicine ingredient… no thank you… stay safe until next time.. love you 2 😘❤️
We are so glad that you are enjoying the journey alongside us!! We always look forward to your comments!
registering online!! WOW that is new! nevertherless, stay safe on your adventure!!!!
It was a funky registration, but once we were in, we were blown away!

Yay! Thank you! We are so glad that you are enjoying the ride along with us!
Thanks for all of the support!
That epic boat ride should make into your intro video
😂 absolutely 💯
Raut wajah awak seiras artis Malaysia tahun 80an...Fauziah Latif😅
wow! Memang ada persamaan
Yu should go tu hutan Temenggor,hutan gergasi tertua di dunia.
We will look that up! We are loving Malaysia!
Thank you for coming ❤
It is a beautiful part of the world to explore!
Thanks!
Oh my goodness!!! Thank you so much for this wonderful gift!
You are too kind and we are so grateful for your kindness and generosity!
We hope that you are enjoying the ride along with us!
Another important item they should add to that safety video: umbrella 😁
🤣 absolutely! 🤣
Great video thank you. But no better you .thanks again cheers to ya.
Glad you enjoyed it 😁
We thank you for your video we Sarwakian really support you ❤
You are the best!!! Thank you so much for all of the support and kind words!
We love Sarawak!!
Terima Kasih!
Thank you for this great video (I upped it from good video) 😁
That is wonderful to hear!
Thank you so much for all of the support!
When u come back to Kuching and if u have time u can go to the Fairy Cave in Bau, its not as spectacular as Niah but yeah haha. U can also try Bako National Park, Bengoh Dam, etc Cheers!
Sounds epic! We will definitely check that out! Thanks for the advice!
I as a local, have yet to visit Niah, but one day will turn into day one! 😁 Hope you had fun traveling in Sarawak! Be sure to try the food, and tuak.
P.S. that intro song tho, gives me a sea shanties vibe. nice singing!
Thank you so much for the kind words!! We are loving our time here on Borneo, and we can't wait to see more of what SE Asia has to offer!
I was there last February and they didn't hv the online self registration nor the safety kit. Must be something new they added on. But I hv to say the board walk's really slippery.
The boardwalk is extremely slippery! But the entire area is absolutely stunning!
Cheers!!!
🍻
Another great episode, some say its crap but I beg to differ 😅😅😅
🤣 poop jokes can get corny if your not careful... it's a slippery slope! 🤣
generally Great production though so much mockery in the beginning over those things you both think silly. However, I am glad you highlighted the best about the caves. Been there three times in 2000 just doing news for RTM not documentary. I love the place and will consider coming there again..
It is a wonderful place to explore and we absolutely loved our time there!
Thank you for tuning in!
To be fair, it's funny and kinda silly though. I'm pretty sure almost everyone who had been there would poke fun at the stone's throw distance boat ride. I mean, I would definitely make fun of it if I were there with my friends. Anyone who has any sense of humor would probably joke about it. Peace.
How incredible 😍
Thanks for tuning in and being a part of the adventure!
Re, review back, when I have been in the Niah Cave back in 2006
We will always remember Niah Caves! It is such an incredible place to have explored!
Mmm, this fruit paste is delicious. And the pottery is lovely.
🤣
@@2UpAndOverloaded
Ace that's guano ... 😆😂😜🤣
a very bright torch light is a must, its so dark inside. it has a strong ammonia smell, chemically its ammonia
It sounds like you have been there as well!
It is a magical place!
Should govm, tell people to bring umbrella to avoid bat poop while exploring Niah cave. Thank you to remind us the truth about it.
Definitely! Or at least a good hat for sure!
It was an amazing experience!
Just subscribed to your channel. Keep up the good work on those wonderful places 😊
Thanks so much! 😊 We are so grateful to have you along for the journey!
Yeah it's a bit difficult to register for places that are under government jurisdiction
It was kinda silly... but the caves themselves were absolutely incredible to explore! It was definitely worth the small trip up of registering.
Everyone should visit these caves!
Still in Malaysia.. great.try visit West Malaysia guys, redang island, perhentian island etc
We can't wait to get to West Malaysia and share all of the magical places we find!
Sorry guys, it's not west Malaysia, it east .my bad
Literally the ministry tourism has to upgrade their system acces for the tourist so that they can make their journey more easy,secured and safe
We absolutely loved the experience!
Such a great site but it is pitiful not many are visiting, not even the local.
We barley saw any other people the entire time, and no one went past the main entrance into the larger cave system.
Such a fascinating place to explore!
Fun fact: The Sarawak Chamber could easily accommodate 40 Boeing 747s inside of it.
That's remarkable!! Awesome fact! Thank you!
Ahaha as usual, the msian govt overcomplicating simple matters. After traveling in borneo so long, hopefully u guys picked up on our laidback vibe. Go with the flow, take it easy, laugh it off. Cant wait to see the inner bits of Niah. Been a while since i visited. glad to see the boardwalk n paths are maintained
It was such an incredible experience! We definitely love the laidback vibes! Everyone is so kind and helpful, even when things are confusing, there is always someone to assist!
1:42 the cutest security guard in the world
I know right!??? How adorable!
This had me laughing been there 19 years ago riding boat just to get to the other side. I thought they already upgrade with a bridge. So cringed how excited it has to be on the boat at first thinking of the journey along the way down the river
🤣 A bridge definitely is in order! I hope that we are able to revisit 19 years from now... and find the same little boat crossing!
Actually, are you going to return to Kalimantan or will you continue your journey to mainland Asia?
We are riding back down through Kalimantan towards Bali before heading to mainland Asia. It should be an incredible ride!
Welcome to Batu Niah , 😅
This is such a stunning part of the world to explore!
Thank you for joining the journey! We hope that we are able to represent all of the beauty that we find here!
Actually we local Borneon we're not asian people, we are actually Polynesian people
Thanks for the information!
Welcome to Sarawak. 10 years ago, we will stay back just to see the family of bats come out from the cave.
Sorry for Sarawak tourism on the ticket thou 😂
We are loving every moment here!! Sarawak is such an incredible place to explore!!!
If have iban people friends u must go see long house..,is my people..,is new..for u..,in sarawak..life ...
We would love to explore all of Sarawak! It is such a beautiful part of the world!
❤❤👍👍👍👍👍👍
😊
lol epic boat ride and slipper path. 😂😂 The registration was stupid. It’s no one fault but stupid management. Hope they take note!
Overall the caves were absolutely stunning! We loved our time exploring them!
*The Boardwalk is not very well maintained. Somebody is not doing his job.*
We loved the old boardwalk that twisted along the forest! It had so much character!
Have you been to mansuli cave?artifact,human remain date back as far 230 000 years.
We have not, but we will definitely look into that. It sounds like something we would love to explore!
Must have smelled like those seals at Cape Town south africa
You are 100% correct!!!
I live in southern Utah, summers are very HOT !!! I am it seems the only one who wears a cooling vest. soak it for 10 minutes put against your skin, jacket over it. keeps me cool for hours, AMAZING how good it works. long ride do it a couple times, cost say 40 dollars. GREAT VIDEO"S
Great tip! We will definitely look into that. For now, we just soak our t-shirts under the sink in the morning and it last a few hours. But we have heard about the vests as well.
Thank you for the tip and for riding along with us!
How ancient humans arrived there. So deep inside the jungle
It is crazy to think about it. So long ago... but this must have been like living in a mansion 1000s of years ago!
@2UpAndOverloaded but the smell of bat poop...wonder how 40k years ago, humans can handle the smell.
Did these cave people evolve into modern human beings ?
They sure did! It is fascinating!
Why go online? Because the online ticket registration is so they know how to track down where the money flows since the National Park is under the Government jurisdiction. Sarawak Malaysia is trying the best to improve in integrity and avoid breach of trust.
We haven't encountered this before. And it we have never doubted the integrity as tourists, but it is highly inconvenient to not be able to register as foreigners. Still room for improvement to satisfy both needs I suppose.
They are right, it's very inconvenient. People at the counter should be able to help visitors to purchase tickets. In their case, they mentioned that "because they are not Malaysian, the state is not entered". Clearly technology mishap. Also, the onus of "money flow or integrity" really shouldn't fall on visitors/tourists. Either improve the system or help the visitors to buy the ticket if the system/technology failed them.
Slippery path. The y went missing
😁
🧿❤👍🏻👏👏
Thanks for tuning in!
How much was entrance fee?
I don't remember exactly, but around $6 USD each.
You passed too many caves in Indonesia... And you visited the cave later in Malaysia...?😆
There are so many reasons to go back and explore such a wonderful island!
While I appreciate your visit t the Niah Cave in Sarawak, Malaysia, you've got to learn how to tell the story. Your giggling is irritative.
We are loving our adventures! We can't help but to laugh and enjoy ourselves as we tell our story. Sorry that you feel it is irritative.
Welcome to Miri/Niah Sarawak, Malaysia!💕💕
Hope you guys have a great time over here.
Take care.
Love from Miri, Sarawak💕💕
Thank you! 😃 We are absolutely loving our time exploring all of Sabah and Sarawak. This is such a beautiful part of the world!!
We know that we will be returning again and agian!
