Pack a flashlight and comfortable shoes, then meet a driver at your accommodations in Kuching City for the hour-long trip to the caves, 28 miles (45 km) into the Sarawak countryside. You’ll pass farm fields, plantations, and small communities along the way to Bau town, which is home to the indigenous Bidayuh tribe.
The first stop of the day is Fairy Caves, or Gua Kapor, on the slopes of Mount Kapur. This is an important destination for local Buddhists and Taoists, and you’ll have sweeping views of the valley, forest, and fields from the cave entrance, reached by 100 concrete steps.
After exploring Fairy Caves, continue to Wind Caves, or Gua Angin, a series of three tunnel caves that are habitat for insect-eating bats and birds, who build their nests inside the cave. Watch for plants and animals at the edge of the walkway, and see the limestone stalactites and stalagmites that have been formed by dripping water over thousands of years.
This 4-hour tour concludes with return transfer to Kuching city, and drop-off at your accommodations.

Itinerary
The Wind Cave's main features include stalagmites, stalactites and pillars which form when these two join together. Other features include conical cavities separated by blade-like pinnacles of limestone pendants hanging from the roof of the cave passage and current scallops which have a honeycomb appearance and indicate the direction of the water flow.
Duration: 1 hour
Admission Ticket Included
Squirrels, shrews and a variety of birds can be found along the river and the limestone hill. Black nest swiftlets can be seen and heard inside the cave, as well as 14 species of bat. Twelve distinct species of snail have also evolved in the caves and the covering hill, each unique to its own limestone habitat.
Duration: 2 hours
Admission Ticket Included
The Wind Cave has been gazetted as a nature reserve not just to protect the cave and it's inhabitants but also to conserve a number or rare species in the surrounding limestone forest. A 1000 metre plankwalk runs throughout the lenght of the cave, so it easy and safe to explore, although the interior of the cave is unlit and therefore a flashlight is essential. A small stream meanders through the cave and joins the Sungai Sarawak kanan at the northern end.
