Lively and informative guides conduct tours past a bewildering variety of cave formations - stalactites glisten above streamways and chambers, while fragile mineral veils and cascades of creamy calcite coat walls that spread as shimmering terraces across rock strewn floors. Spectacular walkways allow easy access while powerful lighting reveals the stunning beauty and grandeur of the caves. Electrically powered boats glide through huge caverns carrying visitors along a subterranean river. Once experienced - never forgotten!
