Our best family cave adventure.
Kevin C5.0Jul 2024This is the best cave tour we have ever been on. True spelunking led by an expert guide; not a young kid leading you on a groomed path giving you rehearsed lines. Ashe was a wonderful guide who quickly got to know us and tailored the experience to us. We climbed over rocks and through narrow places but always felt safe. We went in the coldest part of the year and even though our feet got wet in the streams the constant moderate temperature inside the cave kept us plenty warm enough. This would be a realistic place for Gollum's cave and the Glow Worms make it even more special. We definitely recommend this tour service for anyone wanting to go on an adventure.Very cool tour
Mark K5.0Feb 2024Great experience. Our guide Ash was very personable and very knowledgeable . Be prepared to exert some physical activity but well worth it. This a walking tour through a cave which requires you to navigate some narrow passages Ash was there to assist any of us that needed helpGreat little family...
Kristin A5.0Dec 2023Great little family business. Ash was a very experienced guide, we had an amazing time and enjoyed the tour a lot. Thanks a lot!Amazing
Alida G5.0Oct 2023We were a group of 7 ages from 25 to 60. Our guide Ash was the best, he was very funny but serious about safety at all times. The whole walk was beautiful with some challenging steps and water to our knees.
