5.00We are a family of 5 with kids between the ages of 11 and 13. We went on the elephant cave full day tour. The trek in the jungle was fantastic. The guides were really professional and helpful. We were able to do some cliff jumping into deep polls, swimming before lunch was glorious and the ice cold drinks at the and was a nice touch. Highly recommend!
