Clearwater/Wind Cave Connection

(Advanced – requires Park Manager approval)
Clearwater Connection is a tour for visitors that

  • Can demonstrate current membership of an internationally recognised speleological society or caving group, or
  • Can provide details of* previous caving experience or
  • have completed one of the easier tours at Mulu first.

Minimum previous experience for this cave is described as an expedition of at least 5 hours duration in a wild cave which has no lighting or pathways.

* Verifiable written evidence on each participant’s previous caving experience and S.R.T. experience must be provided to the Park Manager for his approval. It should list the caves visited, their location, and describe the trip e.g. vertical rope work, crawling in confined spaces, climbing, swimming, horizontal or vertical systems.

If you do not have previous experience you can go to Racer Cave first where your guide will assess your abilities. If you are successful an advanced adventure caving trip can be organised for the next day

Clearwater Connection is a long trip (4.8km) and depending on fitness takes between 6 to 8 hours. (Larger groups take more time)

Beginning in the show cave section of the Cave of the Winds adventurers leave the tame pathways behind and venture into the ‘wild’ chambers. Your route is over rugged terrain strewn with boulders that requires some climbing up and clambering down muddy slopes. Areas that are hazardous have fixed ropes and guides carry personal ropes to assist you in sections that require climbing. For many the 1.5km river section is the highlight as it is exceptionally beautiful and refreshing after the hard caving. The Clearwater Connection tour is not available when the water levels are too high.
