The cave was an amazing beginner cave to experience it for the first time, very beautiful parts and challenging enough. We then had the option to abseil and it was such an adrenaline rush!

The activity itself was brilliant

The caving was really amazing! We even had to lower us down on a rope or go through holes we didn‘t thought our body would fit through.

Introduction to caving, requires a pretty good level of stamina to reach the places and progress in the cave. Wear proper shoes and trousers (avoid shorts). Might not be suited for deeply claustrophobic people. My partner for example was not able to stay underground but I had no problem myself.

Great activity, would definitely try again and go for level 2. It was a very good experience

Super activité ! L'équipement, le rappel, la descente dans la grotte, l'eau. Vraiment génial. Seul bémol ? Le temps passé dans la grotte est court (1h40), une "balade" plus grande serait encore mieux !

We really enjoyed this caving trip. Our guides were friendly, accomodating and easy-going throughout the whole day. I'm claustrophobic and my girlfriend is afraid of heights but we still had a lot of fun. We definitely recommend this experience.
