this was my third visit and it has not lost its charm. tour guide was also very friendly with great sense of humour.
these caves are so beautiful and well looked after. Our guide was very knowledgeable and the glow worms are beautiful.
This tour was amazing!
The glow worm tour was a great experience. We enjoyed the walking cave and the quaint boat, getting on and off in the dark with fantastic help from the guides. Their knowledge of the area and patience with all people was commendable. Overall a worthwhile tour to recommend to others
Have been here before. It is a lot more crowded now, but you still see it all. This time I was disappointed in the actual boat trip. The number of glow worms that you see was way down. No fault of the operator, just nature I guess
Good tour but very rushed and crowded.
This guided tour is fantastic.
