Great day out, with some...

Great day out, with some optional extras included. The guides were amazing helping to accommodate our required pick up from the airport and helped us work out plans for onward travel. The underground river experience was amazing and our guide on this was really funny and made sure we saw all of the different rock formations.

Old guy zip line and underground river

If you do the zip line be prepared to go strait up the hill seamed like 10 miles but not really. Took me 30 minutes but then I'm 80 years old. Lot of resting. But was really fun once I got to the top and got my first zip line ride. The underground river was interesting couldn't take any pictures really dark inside. The guide had a head lamp that highlighted the different designs and the head set explained the the river very well. The lunch was okay a lot to chose from. Wish there more people to help on the zip line climb. Would recommend.

Great alternative to the cruise line shore excursion

The underground river was definitely a great experience. Truth be told, there was some stressful confusion about the total cost as we changed from a group tour to private and eventually a semi-private tour, but it worked out fine. When we got to the location, there is a long queue to navigate, but our tour guide was fantastic in navigating us through the queue and making sure we had plenty of time to make it back to our cruise ship (we know others that left at the same time as us on a different tour and cut it much closer). After the underground river tour, we were taken to a delicious lunch buffet with a nice mix of local and comfortable cuisine. I got to eat an entire fried fish (well, I didn't eat everything...avoided most of the head). Our tour guide was very competent and the actual caves were well worth it!

An amazing God

The trip was awesome. We had Moll for our tour guide and he was full of information. Our driver, we can't remember his name, was the best, bring us safely to and from our destination. The views were awesome going there. The cavern was huge and the stalags were amazing. Pictures we took of our trip did not do it justice. Amazing trip and amazing tour guides. God is amazing!
