The tour of the cave was very assemble as had wheelchairs ramps Having no stairs made it easy to walking. The guide was full of knowledge and was very happy to answer any questions. She ensured we moved at a reasonable pace but still had time to see all the wonderful formations in the cave.

Es war super. Auch dass es eine geführte Tour war, bei der mein Mann mit seinem Rollstuhl teilnehmen und bei Allem dabei sein konnte. Ein herzliches Dankeschön an den Höhlenführer. Wir können diese Tour nur empfehlen.

The tour guide was excellent, she knew all the history, explained the life cycle of the glowworm and sang a beautiful song in Maori with all the lights off as the glow was reflected off the stream below. Magic!
