Absolutely fantastic opportunity for a first visit to a cave for families. Great and very knowledgeable English speaking tour guide.

As it is a cave, some parts require a lot of stairs, which of course are wet and can at times be narrow. However this wasn’t a problem for us- but for younger children or people with less stability, I could see how it might be.
There’s also a viewing point roughly 300 meters behind the entrance where you can see the...
