Not only for the site is different from other wet ones, but also our volunteer tour guide David gave us lots of insights and history about both west and east caves. Some may think the price is high but with the inflation it is reasonable.
Awesome experience going down into the caves. Our tour guide, Christie, was very friendly and informative. Free parking onsite. Highly recommend!
You can’t visit the Englebrecht cave without booking a tour, make sure you book in advance to avoid disappointment. I’m so glad we went, Bhullar was a great guide, the tour was very informative and engaging. My children really enjoyed it and we learned a lot. The Limestone Coast is such a unique and beautiful region.

This is a paid activity where you can see a beautiful underground cave. Which will take about 30 minutes of guided tour with around 100-150 steps to go down. We had amazing experience and our guide enthusiastically talked about history and everything about the cave.
A great experience to be had. Alot of history behind the caves. The price for entry can be seen by how the caves are being preserved.
