The Gua Salang Kaca is situated in Kampung Puni. A group of youth found the cave in October two years ago. It takes between 25 and 30 minutes by foot to reach the cave penetrating through a hilly shrubby jungle. It was named Gua Salang Kaca to to mark the discovery of a tree plant which produced sticky shining liquid looked alike a glass-piece.
The Gua Salang Kaca has three entries. The entry at the centre is bigger than the other two standing on its left and right sides. To enter the floor surface of the cave, one needs to go 50-feet deeper inside via a narrow and crooked foot-tracks.
The only facility provided by the Youth and Sports Department in the cave is a rope tied to a tree. The rope is meant to ease visitors who are anxious to explore and have to climb the small slippery and steep hill.
Whilst, the road leading to the cave was cleared by residents of Kampung Puni with aims to give comfort to visitors who make their first trip to the cave.
Visitors who are interested to explore the Gua Salang Kaca only need to seek services from PG HNZ Enterprise, a company owned by residents of Kampung Puni.
