    The tour was amazing!! We have been to some caves before, but this was something entirely different. The caves were not touristy at all so we could experience the beauty of the caves and the nature around it in the best way possible! Ash was an absolutely great guide and made our tour even more perfect. If you are looking for a small adventure with beautiful views, this is definitely the place to do it!

    Loved the tour. The guide was very informative and the caves were spectacular. Couldn't quite believe that we spent 1 1/2 hours; it was really interesting.

    Everything was 5 stars! The check-in staff were very attentive and helpful, the guide was fantastic, not to mention the cave, which is beautiful. The fireflies are a unique experience. Well done.

    Our group of 4 adults and 6 grown up kids from 15-24 loved this day. One member of group had a few struggles but the guides were brilliant and very patient. For the adrenaline junkies they had a blast ! Exactly as described, cold but suits keep you Warm, you are way under in a cave. Sauntering down the water in a tube under The glow worms was unforgettable and quite unique
