It was a highlight of our trip! Not only the exclusive character of being a small group exploring the cave, but also the guide (Ash) was always sharing his knowledge in a very energetic funny manner, and made lots of sarcastic jokes to brighten the experience. After the tour, we had a lovely tea time, and the family who runs the property took their time to have a chat and share stories with our group.
Our time in the caves was outstanding. Ash is an excellent and funny guide who knows his stuff - it’s his land. The scenery, both inside and outside the cave, is breathtaking. And the glow worm cave is incredible - otherworldly even. Can’t recommend this tour enough if you want to have a more exclusive and personal experience than some of the bigger operators.
