Summary:
We turned up impromptu and the team was ever so friendly and able to accommodate our group of 5. Our guide (Soca, aka "the one in blue") knew tons of things and made this experience very special for all of us, challenging enough but accessible to all.
I did not like the cheese grater but the kids did it!!

Summary:
I do not do small spaces I do not do heights. I don’t even particularly like people that much and I had all three while my helmet was hitting both its front and back while belly crawling my way through the depths of our earth…if it hadn’t been for the crew that never would have happened. Our guides were environmentally conscious, professional and safe while also making us laugh. Highly recommend.

Summary:
I didn't know what to expect, and I am a little claustrophobic, but this was a great experience! We had a fantastic guide, Nam, who was knowledgeable, entertaining, and calm. The first cave was not too physically challenging (for me, older woman) and my teens sailed through it without any issue. The second cave was a bit more difficult but manageable, and a lot of fun. Really beautiful stalactite formations. Definitely worth it.
