Absolutely amazing

The caves are spectacular and the glow worms are a treat. The accessibility and layout in the cave is amazing and of top quality with stainless steel railings and concrete walkways. The walk to and from the cave is uniquely beautiful. We will definitely go back to do a trail or two. Also, looking forward to returning to do the 3km cave tour once it’s completed and accessible to the public. Thanks for a great day.
