Overview

The tracks are safe and easy, though a moderate level of fitness is required as we will be walking and standing for more than 3 hours. You have to be comfortable being in the dark. We will travel at a slow pace and allow extra time to ensure we arrive on schedule. After we explore the caves together we will split into 3 groups and rotate so we all get to take the photos we want!
