Mulu National Park - getting there
| packages and accommodation...
There are generally 2 ways to MuluNational Park.
By Air
The easiest and fastest way would be by air. Maswings (http://www.maswings.com.my/) has 2 daily flights to Mulu from Miri. It takes 28minutes to get to Mulu on a propellered Fokker plane that seat 50 persons. During the early years, flights were allowed out of Mulu at 5.00pm but ran into problems as it was quickly acknowledged that the flights were in airspace conflict with bats leaving the caves in the evening to feed in the jungles. These days flights arrive and depart to and from Mulu latest by 1.00pm.
By Boat
The more scenic but definitely a longer way would be by boat. As per advised, it is possible to get to Mulu from Miri in one day. From Kuala Baram jetty, about 40min drive from Miri town take the 7.30am speedboat to Marudi. This costs RM20 per person and takes 3 hours. From Marudi take another speedboat to Tutoh. Time taken to get to Tutoh is 3 ½ hrs. This may be a bit tricky as this trip may not happen sometimes due to lack of passengers or heavy flooding. So if you get caught along the way, you may have to stay in Marudi or Long Lama. From Tutoh, take a short 4WD ride to Long Terawan. From Long Terawan, hire a longboat to MuluNational Park. The boat costs anything from RM400 to RM450 per way and can take up to 5 persons. Without stayovers, fine weather and any other hitches, travellers can get to Mulu from Miri in 10hours.
Either take a taxi from Miri town centre to Kuala Baram jetty for RM50 per taxi per way or take the public bus from the intracity bus station next to the tourism information centre.
