Gomantong Cave is located in the lower Kinabatangan area and the caves have become a major tourist attraction in Sabah. From Sandakan the caves can be reached in about one and a half hour by seal road. Gomantong is the largest limestone hill and the most important source of edible birds nets in Sabah. Tourists visiting the cave during harvesting season can see local collectors dangle from the roof of the cave on ladders made of rattan and bamboo collecting the nests produced by the agile swiftlets. Since the promotion of wildlife-based eco-tourism for Kinabatangan there has been a remarkable increase of tourists into the cave. The cave is open throughout the year. There are several local tour operators which have included the cave as one of their product. Tourist facilities are available at Sukau Village at a variety of lodges, and bed and breakfast can be arranged.
