The cave was simply amazing. Ticketing was easy. It was much easier to find with morning meeting location when we had an address and the name of the hotel rather than the GPS coordinates that were initially provided.

Booking in was simple and quick. The girls at the front desk could smile and engage a little more.:grin: As I don't spend many days in caves the experience was amazing. The tour guides were engaging and very informative, 10/10 for them.

This experience was really great. The supervisors and all the staff are very welcoming and friendly. We spent a lovely afternoon with them and the scenery is unique. However, I wouldn't recommend this activity for people looking for strong sensations.
