Very interesting trip. First time seeing and learning about the worms and their habits. Worth the trip. We enjoyed it

Experience is an expensive waste of time, overrated and not so educational. I believe the tour is taking money it doesn't deserve.

Truly loved this tour. I expected to be let down because there's no way reality can be that cool, but it was really wonderful. The glow worms were so beautiful and the tour was really well organized. The guides were all really knowledgeable and kind.

The ferry trip to the caves had amazing views. The guide, commentary and walk and boat ride to the glow worms in the caves were eye opening and refreshing. Very informative. I appreciated the hot chocolate after the viewing. Highly recommended.

The underground waterfall was amazing and seeing the glow worms was something I have never experienced
