Your full day tour to Niah National Park begins with 90 minutes drive from Resort. After registrations at the Park HQ, proceed onto the tour by first crossing Sungai Niah in a motorized boat and then, 3km plank walk to the entrance of Niah Caves. Guide will show you the excavation sites at the West Mouth of the Great Cave where 40,000 years old skulls was excavated before taking you further into the cave where ‘belian’ poles were erected or attached to the roof by the bird’s nest collectors in order to harvest bird’s nest. At the Moon Cave, a shaft of sunlight shines through an opening at the roof of the cave before you are engrossed in total darkness, the domain of the bats. Where you emerged into light again, you are well on your way to the Painted Cave where Borneo’s only red haematic paintings, believed to be at least 1,000 years old are found. We shall return on the same plank walk but the last part of the journey will be on other route where you will climb a 120 steps wooden ladder and emerge in the eastern end of the Great Cave. The total journey will normally takes 3-4 hours to complete. A simple lunch will be provided at a local restaurant in Batu Niah town before returning to Resort.

Upon registration at the Park HQ, visitors will proceed onto scenic Latak Trail which boasts of 3 waterfalls. The third waterfall is about 25 meters high and plunges into a large deep pool with sandy poolside. After leaving Lambir Hills National Park, the tour will continue onto an Iban longhouse. The Ibans are the single largest tribe in Sarawak and they are traditionally live in longhouses which are actually a number of rooms linked together but sharing a common ‘ruai’ - a verandah where traditional ceremonies are performed in the olden days. The Iban are the famed headhunters of Borneo and in some older longhouses, some of the skulls are still seen hanging along the ruai. Return to Resort after longhouse visit.
