Such a wonderful experience. The self-guided tour was great because you can go at your own pace. My partner and I took about 2hours to slowly explore the cave and take the longer-return walk. Well worth the visit.

Loved every minute!! Super accessible and easy to manoeuvre in. The cave is stunning, you could easily spend hours in there and not get bored. The kids loved the fossils and listening to the audio guide. Lovely and helpful staff.

What an amazing experience to visit this natural cave! This cave is self-guided by using the headphone which has many languages to choose from. You can spend time as much as you want in the cave. The stairs are a bit narrow and can trip you over easily. Must walk carefully!

Amazing to see such a beautiful natural cave. We were told it was formed due to rivers eroding the limestone away over 100s thousands of years. They mentioned over 10,000 bones and fossils have been recovered in its time and you can still see some in the stone walls. Amazing place!
