This was my second cave of the day and it is just a short boat ride from the Cave of the Winds. My guide informed me that this is cave is connected to the earlier cave. We hiked about 200 steps uphill to access the cave. Once there, I was blown away with the sheer size if thr cavern inside. It was huge! I navigated my way down and into the cave. Just follow the steps and the boardwalk. The most interesting aspect of this cave is the large river running inside here. As you near it, you can hear the roar of the rushing water dissappearing into the dark abyss. The are sinages displayed where they explained how the cave system is formed by erosion and water over a long period of time. It was cool and airy inside the cave with plenty of photogenic spots. After exiting the cave, there is a picnic spot at the jetty where visitors can take a.break and chill. You can swim in the river if the guide says it is OK. There are lavatories here as well and they are clean and well maintained. Many people took the opportunity stop here for quick bite and chill amongst the lush forest and river.

going off the Melinau river and just a short ride in, we arrived at the picnic grounds that leads into the clearwater cave, there're toilets and a changing room plus a pool of sorts for those who want to swim, brrr, the water is refreshing and cool, visiting here involves climbing several hundred steps but the views are stunning and the fast flowing cave running streams will lift up ones spirit

Clearwater cave. That is to describe the water inside the cave. It’s quite a bit of steps to get to it, probably 200-ish. And once you get there, you’re welcomed by Monophyllaea pendula, a “one-leaf plant” (genus Monophyllaea) that’s found growing on the stalactites/rocks at the entrance, which is endemic to Sarawak. Contours carved in stone, lines etched by time. Nature reveals Her wonders, asking only that we return Her kindness. Having recently visited the Škocjan cave in Slovenia, which is another UNESCO certified cave, I’d say Clearwater is uniquely stunning on its own. Words could not describe. A must-visit in Borneo. I’ll let the pictures do the rest of the talking.
