Ash was a fantastic guide who gave us so much interesting information about the cave delivered with constant humour. We felt safe the entire time we were in the cave and Ash was constantly monitoring our safety as we traversed the more difficult areas of the cave. The entire experience was so much better than a commercialised venue. There were no gimmicks just real life caving resulting in a spectacular Glowworm display. The facilities at the office were clean and everything we needed was supplied. Thanks Ash for your enthusiasm, entertainment and professionalism. Michael and Dena. Busselton Western Australia.

Die Höhlenwanderung mit Ash war einer unserer Höhepunkte im Urlaub. Ash ist ein toller Guide, der sich ganz individuell auf seine Gruppe einstellt. Die Höhle ist atemberaubend, toll, dass man sie so eigenständig erkunden kann. Absolut empfehlenswert!!!
