Fun & Funny w/ Flexibility Required! - Ash & Michelle were great! Highly welcoming, engaging, warm & funny before and after a great adventure for anyone who's flexible enough to crawl under and over some *slightly* flexibility-straining rocks and spaces. This is a great experience for those new to below ground adventures. You will certainly enjoy the adventure and Ash's supportive and warm sense of humor.

Glow worms honeymoon on Valentines Day - Wow what a great experience going deep into the caves and then seeing and learning about the Glow worms. Thank you to Ash for your care and attention to our safety and helping to get us through what was often tricky terrain within the caves. Also for sharing your experience and knowledge of the beautiful Glowworms. We will treasure the tour in our memory with the photos you took of us. Thank you!

Skip the crowds and go here - Fascinating adventure with a very small group (5) and a fabulous guide. And the 10 minute walk to the cave is gorgeous. Highly recommended.

Do this Tour! - Our Guide Ash was a riot, very knowledgeable and first class photographer! This tour was super intimate, 6 people total! Definitely off the beaten track which we absolutely loved. Every one was engaged and we got to wear the coolest caving gear EVER. We were able to take our time, ask questions and witness just one of natures MANY wonders! If you have a car go do this tour! You’ll escape the Madness of large queues and guides who are just trying to make group times.
