into the canyon between 9 a.m. and 10 a.m. and is reflected on the walls.This creates a spectacular visual effect.

General information on Gua Batu Cermin
Gua = cave; Batu = stone; Cermin= Mirror
A white shining rock formation which, seen in a certain light,
resembles large mirrors, gives this locale its name.
The main cave is located at the centre of Batu Cermin. A ladder
walkway connects the central area where the main cave is located.
The walkway leads through a series of chambers before opening into
the main narrow canyon of the “Mirror Rock.’’
Observe bats and spiders in the caves. While bats are found in
abundance, you have to be very lucky to see the local spiders who,
when approached, quickly scamper out of sight.
