I hate the road going to the park, it's like driving on the surface of the moon. I hate the hike to get to the caves, you have to be fit just to get to the top. Everything else about the caves is excellent - wet, wild, dark, and fascinating. It's fun to squeeze into the tight spaces inside the cave (River Bend), the lower cave although not as pristine as the River Bend - I had more fun and challenge on that one (ladders, waterfalls, sliding, climbing three levels on a really, really tight spaces). My 16-year old kid loves it. Our guide was excellent, super knowledgeable. To end the tour - if you can, try the cheese grater....prepare to be shredded!

Action Packed Tour. Wonderful family adventure! We had a great time with our kids (15 & 8). At one point we climbed a waterfall and our youngest needed a hand, otherwise he was all good. The cave suits are a must and gloves (or we brought our own).
