The caves are amazing! Beautiful experience. Understandable not everyone speaks English but a bi lingual boat guide would have been helpful (like on the bus). Overall great experience.

So much fun! Wanted to stay there all day. Very unique and interesting experience. Beautiful! Our guide was fantastic. Included a tour from the bus of city as well. About 45 min ride from cruise port to the caves. About 20 min of free time at the little shops there - time for a gelato, beer or cappuccino.
