Attraction and activities
Although not as famous as the mud volcanoes of Pulau Tiga,
the mud volcano of Tabin is quite extraordinary.
The mud volcano is 2m in height and 20m wide.
The mud is a hot spot for animals such as the
endangered Sumatran Rhinoceros and bearded pig.
The pigs use the mud to wallow and cool down.
The limestone caves of Tabin are another must-see. The cave
system is located in the northern part of Tabin.
The caves span 1200m, which are believed to have
been formed by an underground river system. A
total of 36 caves with 23 openings have been
explored for archeological interest but safety
became a concern after numerous collapses due to
rock weathering.
Check out Lipat waterfall for a relaxing swimming spot!
