An interesting experience

This was an enjoyable trip in a small, comfortable bus. The driver, Rebecca, was very easy to find, she gave some nice commentary as we drove, and we got to see a little of the countryside along the way. The drive to the caves was about 30 minutes. Once we got to the caves, there were bathrooms available. A guide took us through the caves which took about 35-40 minutes. She gave good explanations about what we were seeing and the glow worms were interesting to see. I have difficulty walking but the path through the caves is all on boards with a non slip mat on top of the boards. We were given lanterns to use as we walked. There are railings throughout the caves except for about 10 feet in one flat spot. There are a few stairs but there are railings. This was a worthwhile trip to do once, especially since the glow worms are apparently only found in this part of the world.

Everything about this tour was enjoyable and Rebecca, our tour guide, was the best. She gave us a ton of information about the history of the local area and the 30 minute ride in a very comfortable van was through beautiful green mountains. The glow worms in the cave exceeded my expectations and were truly amazing to see.

It is a small family owned property about 30 min from Paihai. Nice low key way to see the glowworms.

The van that picked us up was so nice and also roomy. The driver was very informative and knowledgeable about the area. The lady that gave the tour knew so much about the history and made it fun. The caves were amazing and you could get a close up view of the glow worms.
