Madai Caves, Limestone cave system in Kunak, Malaysia.
The Madai cave complex features chambers reaching heights of 100 meters with natural openings that allow sunlight to penetrate the interior spaces.
Archaeological excavations in the Madai-Baturong caves revealed human settlements from 30,000 years ago through discovered stone tools and food remains.
The Ida'an community maintains traditional rights to harvest swiftlet nests from the cave ceiling twice per year using rattan ladders and bamboo poles.
The cave opens seasonally from January to March, July, and August, with entrance fees of 100 MYR for visitors and 70 MYR for local residents.
The cave system contains a river passage in its lower section, presenting an uncommon geological formation among Malaysian caves.
