    Very impressive cave with a guided tour. In addition you get a short boat ride and a great train ride back to the main camp. Recommended, great for grown ups and kids. Could take sometime in queuing, depending on time/vacation you are visiting.

    Must visit place! Amazing! Visited with my kids aged 10 and 3 and we all enjoyed! 5 mins bus ride to the location from the free car parking, then get your tickets, cannot be booked online as of 01 Sep 2024, then follow the guide! 300 steps down, 50 steps up, then boat ride and a train ride! It was excellent! Our guide Mr Javier was great!

    These caves are definitely a very nice experience. You walk quite a bit through different “rooms” in the cave and the guided tour is entertaining. There is also a little boat and train ride included. All in all you should reserve approx. 2h for the total visit. It is well organized
