Absolutely beautiful scenes amazing stuff unbelievable customer service. Concierge over price parking should be free after you pay for the tickets but overall we recommend to France and families. Thank you for the great experience.

Dress casual, and wear tennis shoes or hiking boots.... plan on getting a drizzle of water on you... and get ready for a fantastic experience with a beautiful view of the cavern. Each room is extraordinary.... also the tour guide was patient and professional and very informative.
We actually put in the wrong directions and got there six minutes late for our tour, and the check-in attendant was so accommodating and quickly found our tickets online and escorted us down to catch our tour at the very beginning of the entrance...
Everyone working there was very helpful, including the gift shop.
Enjoyed eating ice cream while sitting outside on one of the benches, enjoying the view on the outside of the cavern.
We were in Santone for seven days and this was the highlight of our trip. We would definitely recommend this to singles, couples and families so much to do there and so much fun.
To reiterate, the cavern is phenomenal and definitely one of God's masterpieces that everyone should see.

Hi. We just finished our tour and it was one of the worst experiences. Our tour guide started with a microphone in the first stop and never used it again. We were not able to hear her and she was mumbling whole time. We tried to get close to her as possible but her words were not exact and could not hear her clearly. We did not pick up any information and really hard to understand her.

I went on the discovery tour and it was amazing. They take you on a tour through the cave system and are given explanations on why certain formations are named what. Just a warning, there are some steep inclines (handrails provided) and some smaller areas to pass through if your taller. If you want a more interactive experience, there are other tours that may be interested to you.

A chance to see an amazing part of God’s creation. Staff are very friendly and grounds are beautiful.
Rachel_H, Jun 2026
It is a beautiful cave. There was only one short stretch where it narrowed. It was mostly vast and open and there were handrails at appropriate places. We loved the tour and guide.

Absolutely breathtaking formations. I have been to several caverns but this one topped the list. Each room had its own uniqueness.
Nicole_M, May 2026
Great time, worth doing it. We enjoyed spending time together , and the informative tour was nice. The caves were very interesting, in my opinion easy to walk through. A couple spots were slippery but take it slow and there are railings in most of the tour.

It was really interesting. I loved the information that was provided by the guides. My kids loved seeing the beautiful stalagtites. There were other activities near by. Could easily make this activity a whole day activity due to the other activities nearby.

It is a difficult hike if you are older and half issues walking up abd down hills. Guide had alot of good information
Michael_B, Mar 2026
This place could early be 5 stars if they weren't hustling people before you even get in the door. Charging people $10 to park in your parking lot, that's only your parking lot and it's the only place you can park when driving from far away is so lousy and predatory for what area largely big groups of families trying to take their kids. Ridiculous.
But in regards to the Caverns, they are spectacular. I'm a very big dude and while a few places has me winded, you should be able to navigate this minus any series medical limitations. Really great history and so many natural features millions of years in the making. At the end they try to get you with another $40 for a set of pictures lol just take selfies inside

Don’t dress too warm, humidity is about 99%. Wear good walking shoes. No food or drinks allowed other than water. Other than that great experience and will definitely be back.
Chris_B, Mar 2026
It was a great experience! Wear good shoes and be prepared to walk up inclines. It was .75 of a mile in total.
Armistia_S, Mar 2026
It was awesome. May get a little hot. Bring water.. lengthy walk with incline but it was worth it…You have to experience it!!! We learned so much.
Wei_S, Mar 2026
The cave is very impressive but the tour guide is little rush. It was supposed to be 1.5 hours but we were out in 1 hour 10 minutes. Wish we had more time to look, take pictures and soak in
Thomas_K, Mar 2026
I/West were throughly impressed with presentation of the grounds, the parking area, the people, and the attractions around the Caverns entrance. We were very happy with our tour guide, Destiny. She provided a lot of information on the tour and was very capable of keeping the tour group organized.

Really enjoyed the walking tour. It's easier going down than coming up :
Ivan F, Jun 2017
Interesting but not great. Found the walk testing as we had to descend 180 feet into the caverns and then climb a path and steps back up the 180 feet which I found to come close to my limit. This information should be published on the booking site as you can not cancel after booking the tour. It is only included in the information sent together with your booking confirmation. Too late!!!

Well this is interesting Tour however, I highly recommend to be somewhat fit or younger age. It is wet inside ground and hand rail,the humanity high and dark cave so need to watch steps, walking has narrow space while entering. One needs to be careful because it is 180 feet below, the most difficult part is the steep walkway to get out. I had trouble trying to catch my breath and my spouse could not make it out, he needed help. I liked the Tour and was upset that there is no easy way out for those who need it!
Charlene B, Sep 2016
It was what I expected. The guides were knowledgeable and friendly. The price was reasonable. I would do it again, just for the beauty of the caverns
Donna N, Jul 2016
Great tour.
So beautiful. Well worth the effort to get there.
Vinnika J, Jul 2016
It was great! Our family enjoyed it and thoughts it was an informative and engaging tour!
Scott H, Jul 2016
We enjoyed the caverns. The tour is about 75 mins and just short enough where you don't become worn out. The water in the cave is clear and clean.

beautiful and interesting at the same time. Great tour for kids for 5 and up. As long as they follow instructions and able to walk up and down steep pathways.
Linda M, Jun 2016
The caverns were amazing! Lots of recent rain made them wet and drippy which added to the experience. The young tour guides need to learn how to enunciate. Couldn't understand a lot that they were saying. Very monotone and not too enthusiastic about their job.
Nice gift store and refreshment area.
Steven S, Jun 2016
Caverns were beautiful, and believe them when they say it is very humid. Gave only 4 stars as we could not here the guides talk about the areas, because the groups were so large.
Waltraud G, Jun 2016
Very interesting tour, only negative was that the next tour came too short after us and we had to rush and always heard the other tour guide! Give people a little more time to enjoy the caverns for 21 entrance fee!
