I am always happy to pay a fee if it goes towards conservation; especially if animals are involved although this 60k paid to enter the cave seems to not be doing any good for the environment or the bats. The caves are inhabited by lots of species, geckos, birds, and of course bats. The guides continually shine lights in the bats eyes for tourists which makes them super uncomfortable, evident by their cries, which they ignore.

We found the caves by accident on the way to Mawun Beach and it was the best thing that could happen to us during our trip!!

I will certainly come back next time I...

Let me help clear things up, there are 2 caves in this area, Goa Sumur and this one, Goa sumur is basically just a hole in the ground and one big cavern. This cave system is much better and complete. Edi was our guide, 60k for a guide, flashlight, helmet and a juice at the end. Definitely well worth the money. Our guide was great, took some great photos for us and explained a lot of interested things.
BE READY FOR THE SMELL. They do provide masks which is nice. Obviously bat droppings are everywhere and you will get peed on. That’s a given. So many cockroaches, don’t come if you have a phobia. Overall a really cool visit. Recommended for the...
