Venado Caves (Cavernas de Venado) Tours and Tickets

Guides will provide helmets with lights (all bright and working properly) and boots to wear if your water shoes are inappropriate. Bring a towel and change of clothes to shower there afterwards. Cave is warm and you will see bats and be walking through running water. Guide was knowledgeable and helpful. Options for little side detours within cave to crawl through smaller tunnels. It was extraordinary. Highly recommend.

Incredibly unique experience, this is one of the only caves in Costa Rica that is open to visitors. You will be scrambling over and ducking under rocks, hiking in water and definitely getting wet in the waterfall, but it was very exciting. Our guide was incredibly helpful and encouraging when I was afraid to go through some of the smaller (optional) crawl spaces. I’ve toured a few caves in the United States and this was on a completely different level. I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants a unique adventure (and doesn’t mind a few spiders).

This is definitely an off the road excursion. It’s insanely cool but tougher than I was expecting. Be prepared to be wet and dirty. Definitely need to be fit to do any of the side quests like the “birth canal” but would definitely recommend if you want something different than regular nature in La Fortuna.

Albert, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable of the underground Venado caves. He answered all our questions w enthusiasm. On target w what to expect so no surprises & very patient. It was an unforgettable experience.

It was amazing. Our guide was friendly. one of the coolest things i’ve seen. Do bring a towel and clothes to change into because you will be practically crawling in water at times! so worth it!!!!

It was beyond what we had imagined!! The cave was challenging, exciting and incredible to experience….Mau was an excellent guide and even though there were some parts that were a tad scary, we felt safe and well cared for in such a unique environment!! Been thinking about it for days, feeling empowered and grateful for this opportunity :)

The driver, Rafael, was the best part! The achtual caves were a lottle sketchy, the guides just kinda had us wilding until theh realized we were nervous/lost.

Once in a lifetime experience. Spend the extra 24 dollars on photos. They only take cash! However, this adventure is not for those who are out of shape. Make sure you pack a change of clothes. They provide water boots, and you will definitely need them.
