Deer Cave has the world's largest cave entrance and is the largest single cave passage in the world - about 120m - 150m in diameter or it can fit St. Pauls' Cathedral under its massive archway. The cave has a moon-like landscape and from one vantage point a perfect profile of President Lincoln can be observed. Most evenings at sundown, a spectacular exodus of about 2 million of bats can be observed as they leave the cave in search of food. Next to Deer Cave is Lang’s Cave. The stalactites and stalagmites inside this cave are representative of the very best limestone formations in the park. Return to Park HQ by torchlight for dinner and overnight at lodge.

Like most caves in Mulu, Clearwater Cave is the habitat of unique species of plants.  One of them, the one-leafed plant can only be found at Mulu; rare species of orchids and pitcher plants can be seen in many locations and photo-sensitive algae grow on certain rocks and have produced needle-like formations that point towards the source of light.
