Was a little late for the 12PM so they moved us to the 1PM tour which was so nice of them! The cave was one of my favorite memories from this trip. It was a spectacular experience!! Our guide was knowledgeable and funny. He didn't mind anyone asking questions.

Fantastic experience. Very cheap and a good afternoons worth of entertainment. The cave system was much larger than expected and the stalactite was very impressive. The tour guide was fabulous and she really helped tell the story of the cave and the stalactites discovery well. The eco walk/shop/cafe were also great additions to the ticket.

I love this cave. It's just so astonishing and amazing. The last time I was here was 13 years ago, it has definitely updated the area which is wonderful to see. Highly recommend. There is allot of stairs down and ypu have to go back up, there is very low areas too within the cabe so be sure you are able for it.
