Super staff
The tour was very much an adventure, more than I was expecting. The staff were all awesome, they were funny(especially Peter) and really tried to make it a good experience for everyone. I felt very badly for Hilary, our guide, since she was really dealt a bad hand with me. I am NOT athletic and probably should not have signed up but she helped me get through it and the glow worm display was amazing! After getting into a warm constricting wet suit and my short hike through the forest, walk up 130 tall stairs, and hour walk through the cave i was thinking the glow worms better be worth it -and they were. :) The “float” down the river was even a challenge for me but Hilary came to the rescue again. Hindsight says I probably should have seen the glow worms another way and let my husband and daughter enjoy themselves on this adventure but I made it with the help of the very kind staff and my husband and lesson learned.:)

So glad I did this!
I'm really glad I found this tour! So informative and really interesting. Plus I got to see how fun the cave rafting looked and I might just have to come back and do that one as well!

Awesome Tour
Wow, what an amazing tour I enjoyed every second of it (even climbing the 131 steps to the top lol) The tour guide was friendly and very knowledgeable on the history of the cave system. It was a fascinating tour learning how the formations grow and how long they take to grow. Thank you to you all :)

十分推薦！
雖然只有我們兩個人報名，領隊還是細心的與我們解說鐘乳石洞與螢火蟲生態。還有小火車可以搭，很推薦！
