Mahua Waterfall

Mahua Waterfall is a 17-metre high forest waterfall located in Kampung Patau, Tambunan District, Sabah, within the Crocker Range National Park about 26 kilometres from Tambunan town. Surrounded by primary rainforest, it features a wide cascade plunging into a shallow pool used for swimming and wading. Managed by Sabah Parks, it is one of Sabah's most accessible and photographed waterfalls, known for its rainforest setting, picnic facilities and easy trail access.

Visitors can expect a wide 17-metre cascade set in dense rainforest within Crocker Range National Park. A short paved trail and steps lead from the car park to the waterfall viewing area and shallow pool at its base. The site has a rainforest environment with tall trees, cool water, and mist from the falls. Visitors can view the waterfall from shelters and a small suspension bridge, swim or wade in the designated pool area, take photographs, and use picnic gazebos and changing facilities.

Located in the Tambunan area traditionally inhabited by Dusun communities, the waterfall is a well-known local recreation area and part of the Crocker Range National Park conserved for its natural heritage.
