GENERAL INFO
This is a good trip to take if you have a few hours, but don't want to dedicate your whole day to it. Travel and tour together should take around 3 hours. The walk through the caverns is easy and all levels of experience can enjoy it. It can get a bit warm in the caverns regardless of the temperature outside so dress lightly, a sweatshirt or windbreaker will keep you plenty warm.
