I did this solo and it was surprisingly moving. Something about drifting quietly in total darkness, then looking up and seeing what looked like galaxies above, it makes you feel small in the best way.

Seeing the glowworms was like floating under a starry sky underground. Quick tour but honestly one of the coolest things I’ve ever done.

This was my first time in a cave and I loved it. The limestone formations are fascinating, and seeing the glowworms feels like floating through a galaxy. It’s worth the price tbh

That moment when the lights go out and your boat drifts under hundreds of tiny blue-green lights—I totally forgot to breathe. It’s touristy, sure, but I thought it was magical!!
