we spent 1 week in PR, we got sun burn , we could not tolerate sun any more, I read a lot of different reviews, I was not sure whether I should go or not, but I think it a very nice tour, definitely worth 15 $ and they will give you an audio which is included in the price... More

My husband and I were looking for caves we had read about online, and ended up going here. We did the cave tour offered but it wasn't as we expected. It was more like a tour set up and you follow one another in a huge crowd and listen to headphones that explain everything. It wasn't as adventurous as we... More

I must say the visit was good but I have seen better and bigger caves before and therefore I was glad I've been but not overwhelmed as I thought I would be. It all depends if you have seen many others before in other countries. Something utterly horrible about the tour they give you is that after the visit they... More

It was a short tour but I enjoyed it. We took so many photos, plenty of interesting things to see(like the upside tree). Make sure you wear tennis shoes, the floors tend to be wet and can be quite slippery.

After reading many of the reviews I was expecting a cool cave with a poor tour; however, everything for our tour went well. We arrived at around 11:15 on a Thursday and were on the tour within 15 minutes. The headsets worked well to accommodate multiple languages. The cave was very impressive--I've been on many cave tours (Carlsbad, Mammoth, Wind,... More

Well run cave experience.....trams to entrance.....good tour info with headphones....path down to cavern entrance and then a loop through a truly gorgeous and very large cavern.....at one point you see a part of the large underground river that formed the caves in Puerto Rico. I hear they tube in that underground river in other parts of the country....... This was... More

What a let down for $15.00 per person. Maybe a quarter mile walk through a small cave where you are asked to imagine things that are not there. I've been to Luray Caverns, Carlsbad Caverns, and a host of others, this was just wrong. It might be a good $5.00 trip, but come on. Make sure the kids keep their... More

We traveled to the Camuy Caves in Puerto Rico and enjoyed the park and the cave with the tour very much. They take you down the mountain to the caves in a trolley type vehicle and you start the tour, it can be very slippery in spots (I would suggest canvas shoes). We had a good time I would recommend...

This cave tour was a great tour. We enjoyed the tram that went down, down, down the sinkhole to the cave. The cave was huge and easy to get around. The surrounding landscape was covered with beautiful, rain forest-type vegetation. While Cueva Clara (the big room) was impressive, I would have liked to see more of the rest of the... More

For people who never have been to a cave or have mobility issues or claustrophobia this is a great cave experience. The cave itself, isn't as awesome as Carlsbad, New Mexico and is quite touristy with a trolley that transports you. However, the 600 foot sink hole and the landscape on the grounds is gorgeous. The view out the back... More
