Policies & rules

Single entry only: Tickets allow one entry; exiting means you cannot re‑enter. Wear sturdy, non‑slip footwear since the route involves stairs and damp paths.

Tips & guidelines

  • Closed, non-slip footwear is essential. Cave surfaces can be damp and slippery, so avoid sandals to ensure safe footing along uneven, rocky paths.
  • Pack a light jacket or sweater; underground temperatures remain cool year-round. Even during hot summer days, the cave’s humidity provides a refreshing, brisk atmosphere.
  • Bring a small bag for personal items, including a waterproof case for your phone and camera. Electronic devices need protection in the moist cave environment.
  • Stay attentive to your guide’s instructions and keep quiet during the light and music show to enjoy the performance fully and respect fellow visitors.
  • Remember that underground photography is challenging in low light. Experiment with low ISO settings and steady shots to capture the cave’s unique illuminated features.
