The Wind Cave is a very popular local tourist destination close to Kuching. It probably received its name from the draught of air which passes through the passage leading to the Sungai Sarawak Kanan on which it is situated. The name is translated as "Wind Cave" or "Cave of the Winds".
In fine weather, many groups from Bau and Kuching visit the cave. The most popular attraction is the western entrance of the cave which has a small beach adjacent to the Sarawak River. It is a favourite picnic and swimming spot that has gained in popularity after the closure of the Bau Lake for the mining of gold.
While some visitors take to swimming and relaxation in or near the river, others would explore the cave. Torches are needed to enter the cave and explore its passages. The stream provides easy access through the cave to the river. This cave is smaller than the Fairy Cave, but it has different formations and the cave stream adds a different focal point.
