The cave includes several large chambers, fine crystal and many historical signatures preserved from the 1800's. You will slowly descend down to around 100 meters below ground, along the way exploring roomy cavers and snaking through narrow tunnels, before exiting through the Imperial cave.

Reviews
-
Very enjoyable experience.
-
Very fun tour with excellent guides, but an absolute beginners-level caving experience. Pays to go with an adventurous spirit and if you're quite fit, a bit of patience... Don't forget to wear trousers, singlet/cool top and closed, sturdy shoes - overalls are provided, but it pays to wear something comfortable underneath!
-
A great introductory lesson into caving with some very tight squeezes! The abseil was also fun!
-
Awesome experience!!!
