This was a great experience. Our driver was on time, they even called to give a five-minutes heads up. On the way and upon arrival, our guide was fun and gave some background to the caves and area, as well as providing pertinent information. 1-hour self-guided walking through paradise cave (more than enough time) and then he guided us through dark cave before letting us swim around for a bit. Overall great trip!

Very happy with this trip. I was hesitating which caves I would do and ultimately chose Paradise and Dark Cave. The Dark Cave was a really unique experience and very adventurous, would highly recommend that one if you don't mind getting in the mud! The tour guides were really friendly and enthusiastic
