The easiest way to get to the Gomantong Caves is to join half-day tours departing from Sandakan town. A tour package that includes entrance fee into the caves, lunch and a short tour of Sandakan town costs around RM 120 per person. Alternatively, you can hire a car and drive to the Caves, which is located about an hour's drive from Sandakan. Entrance fee is RM 30 per person for non-Malaysians, with an addition camera fee of RM 10 per camera.

If you are travelling alone or part of a small group, try and arrive at the caves at around 5 - take your time and talk to the guys protecting the nests and you should still be there at sunset when 80,000 bats leave the cave - truly spectacular and normally you need a permit to stay this late.
