  • When you enter the cave, I do suggest you use your phone flashlight to help your eyes adjust and the floor is not flat…there are areas that rocks stick up and sadly I learned the hard way and fell...

  • Super cool experience. Very knowledgeable staff. Bats are cool; you may see some. Very careful with the ecology and the local wildlife - it's refreshing. Really enjoyed the visit, and it was great how the ranger there took a bunch of pictures for us.
  • Came here just based upon other reviews. The caves are of course, very dark, but if you go with a guide, you'll probably get a better lesson about what the caves hold than we did by going on our own. It's worth the stop and a pretty impressive cave system considering its location. No flash photography, and while some suggest taking flashlights, the guides the day we visited suggested not using lights (bats). Check the place out if you have time.
