5.00Good informative, great staff. Just remember that there are some parts where you have to duck down and walk a short way and also it’s very pitch black in some areas.
Would recommend. Unique Experience.

5.00Well organized and fun. After a quick walk into the cave, with a very small section you must crouch to pass, you will then board a boat where you will float in total darkness to see the glowing lights.
Highly recommended.

5.00This was a great experience. Both the boat trip and glow worm cave were fantastic. Even if the weather is warm it’s worth bringing a jacket if you want to be outside on the boat.
Unique experience

5.00This is something quite unique, not what we expected, far above our expectations. Had no idea of the extent of the caves and the intricate details of these fascinating creatures, the glow worms
Everyone can do this...
