Traveler Comments
So this was my husband and my absolutely most favorite experience and we didn't expect it to be. I just booked it to do something different BUT it was wonderful. The guide was great and being able to move through the wet cave like we did was amazing and we learned a lot about geology and the area as well as the critters that lived in or visited the caves. . We also had the opportunity to connect with the other people on the tour. It was also great to come out of the caves and have CLEAN rooms with showers to change into and our driver was ready with towels and then fruit once we changed. That kind of thing doesn't happen in the states.
For me this was a highlight of our trip. Amazing place, nice guide, beautiful property... a must do
This was awesome. Elvis our guide did a great job taking care of us and I would describe this as a highlight.
