Gua Tempurung


You will be awed by five gigantic domes with ceilings resembling tempurung (coconut shells) forming the cave, and giving its name Gua Tempurung.   The cave system stretches about 1.5km, and is believed to have sheltered prehistoric communities since 8000 BC.

Crawl, scrabble and even lower yourself into impossible looking crevices as you go deep down to uncover the secrets of the largest limestone cave in Peninsula Malaysia.

An underwater river called Sungai Gua Tempurung runs about 1.6 km through the cave which you can indulge in some spelunking activities. An absolute delightful excursion for the adventurous and those who don’t mind getting their hands dirty as they embark on the thrill of caving.

Choose from several guided tours to suit individual preferences and fitness level.  The short tours provide basic information of the cave and are suitable for those who don't want to get messy and have little time to spare. A walkway and platforms offer the visitors' convenience and safety.
