Yesterday, today, and tomorrow - The history, the cavern, and the little fish in the cave stream. Guide was patient to let us get a view of the cave creature. Tour guide was very informative, friendly, and cautioned us of the low ceiling and why it wasn’t heighten.

A great experience - A great experience , a lot of climbing down and upstairs but well worth to stand in the presence of the stalactite in the main cave the guides are friendly and full of knowledge and when they turn off the lights in the main chamber that’s a totally different experience to see how dark it is and the cafe gives you the opportunity to grab a coffee to recover from climbing the stairs to come back out well worth the visit wear solid shoes boots and expect to duck a little going through the passageway would definitely do it again

Very magical! - Scarier than i expected—-but in an exciting way! Down, down, down…not a big empty expanse like other caves I’ve been to. thanks sooo much for the little rest stools at each stairway landing. That made it possible for me (77years old) and my husband (85 years old).

Pre-book your tour to not miss this! - The enthusiastic tour guide framed the entire experience from the point of view of the boys who first found the cave a couple of decades ago, and took us on a great 30-minute trip both down history and down to the breathtaking stalactite. Wholly recommended. Don't arrive too far ahead of time, though (15 minutes will suffice), or you might not find a spot on the small parking lot during peak season. When I departed, many groups also had to be turned away for the day as all tours were already fully booked, so I'm very glad I pre-booked my ticket online.

Amazing cave - The cave was uniquely amazing. The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly (although sometimes hard to hear due to the cave acoustics).

Nice attraction - Really friendly and knowledgable tour guide. Low in parts and could be a bit slippy. A nice way to spend an hour and nice to do the short loop outside to see the original entrance and the animals

Don’t miss this experience - Great experience with a great guide. Cian explained the science and kept our attention for the entire visit. It’s incredible and a tiny bit scary to be so far underground and to see nature at its most inspiring. Well worth a visit

Average - Okay experience. Just felt like we were a heard of cattle. Other than the stalactite it wasn’t super interesting.

Be aware to arrive 10 minutes early! - Unfortunately my family got sent ahead of me while I used the facilities. When I came out they were gone on the tour after looking for them on the grounds, the staff said I couldn’t join them. My husband walked all the 127 stairs only to return to find me when I didn’t reappear. So we both missed the experience! Be aware you should not arrive on time- but at least 10 minutes early to avoid this timed and limited experience. Very disappointing
