A few kilometres from Fairy Cave, Wind Cave is its atmospheric opposite: where Fairy Cave soars and glows green, Wind Cave runs low, dark and cool, a limestone hill hollowed by underground streams beside the Sarawak Kanan river. A boardwalk threads its three main passages, and the cave breathes — the steady draught that gives it its name.
Overhead live colonies of bats and swiftlets, their chatter following you through the dark. Outside, the riverside picnic area under the trees is a favourite local spot for a swim and a rest before the short hop onward to Fairy Cave.
