Wonderful Guide - very peaceful tour

We arrived at the same time as a large bus tour. Kawiti Caves arranged to have a smaller group who had booked on line go ahead of the large tour which was great. Our guide was fun and knowledgeable and the cave and glow worms were amazing to see. A great simple tour !!!
