Our best family cave adventure.

This 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

Great 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 help
Great little family...

We 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.
