Great experience

Very good tour of amazing caves and stalactites. Learned lots about the history and geology of the area. The glow worms were fantastic - wasn’t expecting them to be so good. Their webs lit by the laser are gorgeous. Looked like something Disney might have created! Worth the price as the owners have clearly put in so much work to make the cave accessible and safe to visit without the need to wade through water - as you have to do in the publicly accessible caves down the road. Highly recommend.

glow worm caves

the place has only been open for a few months i think, but our host was awesome we got to go and feed the baby goats before taking the tour, we booked in for the first tour of the day and it was just myself and partner, so was like an exclusive tour, really easy track to walk, i like to see the improvements they are working on when finished.
