Deer Cave attracts thousands of visitors every year with its unique rock formations, including the one at its south entrance that resembles the profile of Abraham Lincoln. The cave was opened for public in 1984, and it was long regarded the world's largest cave passage. It is home to three million bats you can watch twirling and swarming outside the cave from the park's bat observatory. The walk to the cave through a tropical rainforest via a 3 km (1.9 mi) plank is an attraction in its own right.

The ginormous size of Deer Cave cannot be explained and can only be appreciated in person. I was told how massive it is, yet I didn’t comprehend until walk inside the entrance mouth of the cave...

One of the most stunning caves in Malaysia to visit, provided you love caves, nature & outdoors. This is the star cave of Mulu Park and is the latest cave chamber in the world. In my life, I've been here 6 times, last being in Sept 2022, where I came specially for smartphone photography. The highlights are the 100m high ceiling with water dropping down like a scene from Avatar. Half way in, there's the famous Abraham Lincoln silhouette when you look at an angle towards the cave mouth. Your guide will show you that, and if you move left, you can see the map of Africa in the silhouette too! Inside, Adam & Eve's Shower are also a spectacular to see with your own eyes. The Deer Caves are truly a must-visit for anyone who loves nature.

The ginormous size of Deer Cave cannot be explained and can only be appreciated in person. I was told how massive it is, yet I didn’t comprehend until walk inside the entrance mouth of the cave. The walk to Deer Cave alone was stunning admiring the forest, then walking around the cave was beautiful. Be sure to be there in the afternoon for the bat exodus which is mind blowing. Watching the millions of bats fly out of the cave in a smoke formation was one of the best natural experiences I’ve witnessed in my life. Cannot highly recommend Deer Cave enough.
