It is a small cave system. On top of the entrance fee, there is a guide fee.
You can see huge spiders and smalls bats while at the cave. It didn't take us more than 30 minutes there.

What a waste of time, a rip-off.
When you pay your entrance fee, they'll ask you if you want to pay extra for a guild. We opted to go without a guide thinking there would be signs inside the park.
We wondered around and basically saw nothing. Just a few rock formations.
There are NO cave pools or little water falls as some might see on the Google Map. Don't waste your time going there. It's a total disappointment.

These are one of the recent caves discovered by human kind and was informed was under the water just 100 years back, which was so surprising for us.
Just like other caves, it has some unique feature, such as it was a big room filled with sand and there are unique carvings every where and some stones which are hollow from inside and give an amazing sound when you knock on them

If you like stalactites and fossils -that's a place to go, otherwise probably just stay on the beach ;)

I had quite low expectations of this cave based on the TripAdvisor reviews, and was expecting it to be a quick photo stop.
Instead it was an in depth tour of the cave. The cave entrance is beautiful with hanging vines and tree roots. We were given helmets and had to crawl through parts of the cave which made it feel like an adventure. We saw fossils of coral, fish and even a turtle. There were several bats hanging from the ceiling, and even some bats flying around. Interesting stalagmites and stalactites. Lots of great photo opportunities. There is also umbrella rock to see on the way back to the car park. Be warned though, it can be very hot and we did get very sweaty, and there are mosquitos during the day here!
Overall a fun quick tour and definitely worth a visit.

The walk towards the cave is this beautiful bamboo forest. You don’t really need a guide as it is well sign posted. Do wear the hard hats provided at the cave entrance as you can easily bump your head inside the cave and don’t forget to use a torch as it is pitch black inside most parts of the cave. You would have to squat or do duck walks for short distances inside the cave. It was fun to explore although I wouldn’t say the mirror aspect of it was anything spectacular. The whole experience however is worthwhile.

An amazing and unique place still trapped back in time that has its own wonderful adventures and sights. Diverse culture that can also provide 5 star luxury at very affordable rates. Highly recommend if you want an Island adventure.

I would say this place while not a MUST SEE was certainly convenient to go. It's about 15-20 min from town center. The entire trip can be done in about 2 hours so it's a convenient place to go on a short notice or sometime to kill.
I hired one of the guys at my hotel and he took me there for 30k on his moped. Entrance fee to the cave is also 50k for foreigners. My hotel guy/ was not charged so he went in with me.
You don't really need any guide as it's pretty self explanatory since it's just a cave with clear paths!
Remember to bring a flashlight as the cave is pitch black once you go inside. Good thing I had my cell phone and we just used it as my light. Helmets are provided so use it to protect your noggin! otherwise you risk injury as some parts of the ceiling is low and the rocks are sharp!

It's located near with city center. They will charge you 20.000 for domestic and 50.000 for international tourist. They also offer a guide to explain the destination. Actually the best time you come here around 11AM to 1PM, so you could see the light through the cave. You need to bring your own flashlight and beware of your head when come in the cave but no worries they provide helmet inside the cave.

Yes. Definitely. It's totally dark inside anyway and you get a torch and helmet from the tour guide. To be honest, I really don't know if the cave is open after dark.
