Description:
Miri is located close to the border with Brunei on the north coast of Borneo.
It is a booming oil and timber town and the gateway to the Northeast region, rapidly becoming Sarawak's most popular tourist area. It is within easy reach of some national parks, large rivers, heritage and adventure travel destinations and good scuba diving.
Cruiser Highlights:
Miri Marina is a good place to leave your boat if you plan on visiting Gunung Mulu National Park. This national park is a must-see for visitors to Malaysian Borneo. It contains one of the largest cave systems in the world and is home to Deer Cave where you can witness the nightly exodus of over three million bats. Gunung Mulu is a short and inexpensive plane ride from Miri airport which is only 15-20 minutes from the marina.
As Miri is a centre for the off-shore industry of Northern Sarawak, anything can be found here and the costs of marine supplies and hardware etc. are reported to be very reasonable.
