Awesome experience highly recommended - What an adventure. There were even showers to wash After the Cave tour which you must do due to bat poop . Bring your extra clothes. P.S Do not let the bat poop discourage you, go for the tour.

Great experience! - Diego was a great guide. The caves were very interesting. Being mobile/active is a necessity. Definitely bring a complete change of clothes (shoes/socks/undies/etc) because you’ll get soaked. Good water shoes are a must. They have showers and changing rooms. Worth the price to go explore!

Geniale Tour - Great cave tour, the best thing we did in CR. Great bat observation / Closer look at Vampier bats. We waited and slid through crevices that, from a closer look, were not designed for human access and ended up in Huge cavities inside the cave, where you climbed an almost huge vertical wall to the exit of the cavity with the help of the guide. I 14 did the tour with my mother (47), my little sister 7 and my father did not participate in the tour. The guide said we could have taken her. In fact, after the tour my mother felt that we should take her with us.

Fun adventure in the caves! - This was so cool! Some climbing and physical abilities needed but not too much. My 17 year old daughter loved it! Our guide was great! I'm pretty sure his name was Diego! Definitely recommend for a unique experience!!

Favorite Excursion - Learning the history of how the cave came to be and it’s on going ecological processes from our very knowledgable guide was really interesting. It felt like the movies moving through the cave, crawling, squeezing past tight places, and climbing up. Definitely was nervous but with our guide, everything was possible.

A thrilling and educational experience, truly wild yet tame at the same time! - My father and I went and had an amazing time, the guide taught us about the millions of years of history all while showing us all of the cool critters & formations. Definitely challenging sometimes but the challenging paths are optional, I highly reccomend coming here for a wild yet fascinating experience.

Great experience for a real Costa Rica adventure - Booked a day in advanced no problem. Guide messaged for pickup location and we opted to meet at the caves due to it being a shorter drive. We went on a Monday morning and had the cave to ourselves. Joshua, our guide was great, he was friendly and easy to understand, as well as having a great sense of humor and knowledge of the caves. We were encouraged to go through the narrow openings while in the cave which made the experience much more fun. I’m 6’3 180lbs and had no problems. If you enjoy your rice and beans just make sure to stretch beforehand, as you will be low crawling and scooting around through small areas. We were provided with refreshments afterwards as well as towels and a place to shower. Bring a change of clothes. I did not bring my phone but had my go pro on a head mount which worked great. If you bring your phone I suggest getting a waterproof bag for it, as you will be crawling on hands and knees and the water level changes day to day.
