20 minutes easy drive out of Kuching. Visit during feeding times (check web site) - when the wardens will call the orang utans and they will come for their favourite food (banana and coconut) Amazing to see them swing in and out, mums with baby in arm. one arm on rope , the other clutching the banana or coconut. interesting to see them smash the coconut on the hard resting place - to get to the meat . well worth the trip out. But be warned, on the rare occasions during fruit season, they may prefer wild fruit and now come when called!! Great for kids and easy walk

The Clearwater Cave river system is one of the longest in the world measuring some 220 kms & still counting. It is a must go when you are visiting the Mulu National Park. If you are adventurous enough, do take a swim in the river outside the cave. There is the picnic platform with changing rooms beside it.

a small 'zoo' with more than just crocodile. The main highlight is crocodile, you can see them up close , and if you are lucky you can see the feeding time. There are other animals too if you get bored with crocs to quickly.
