Stunning! Absolutely do this Tour!!
An excellent Tour that provides the opportunity to see the glow worms & the awe-inspring stalagtites & stalagmites really up close, in a totally safe, gentle manner without having to be an athlete! Our guide JJ was brilliant! Safety conscious, knowledgeable with a great presentation style. I have been in glow worm caves before but had never been shown the ENTIRE lifecycle of a glow worm. Access to this cave has been created beautifully! My husband & I are in our 70s & we found the experience simply breathtaking...unforgettable! A must do!

Fascinating cave & glow worm experience
We went off season and it was just us and an American couple so a wonderfully personalised experience. The location was lovely and we walked up to the caves, learning about the landscape around us which created them. Most exciting was getting up close & personal with the slimy wiggly glow worms then standing in the dark as their lights shone like the Milky Way - appropriately enough!

Amazing
To be able to see the result of millions of years of calcium deposits in such spectacular manner, was truly awesome. The cave is absolutely packed with history and the guide was very informative and helpful. The glow we saw when the lights were off.was jaw dropping. To be able to get so close to it all was wonderful. The owners are also doing such a great job with the outdoor pursuits for groups of children. A truly inspirational project. Rather a long drive down a gravel road, but so very very worth it. Great value. Highly recommended.

Great experience
It was such a great tour! It only took one hour, but it was well worth it. Our guide took the time to answer all our questions. She was very knowledgeable and showed us the cave. We managed to see a lot of glowworms
