There are numerous tours through Gomantong Caves, some of them on wooden pathways and others on trails through the cave. Although, this paths are well visited, guides are recommended. Hats are recommended too, for the sun and the bat poo!
The Gomantong Caves are well known for their birds' nest industry. The local people are collecting these nests using bamboo ladders and poles.
There are many more caves all across Sabah, for example at Madai, Tempadong, Baturong and the Sapulut Valley. Many of these caves have been used as human burial sites.
