Dress Appropriately 

Caving can be a physically demanding activity so be sure to wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows for easy movement. Long-sleeved shirts, pants, and sturdy closed-toe shoes with good traction are essential for your safety and comfort. 

Gear Up 

Your tour guide will provide you with the necessary safety gear, including helmets and headlamps, if these are applicable to your chosen tour. Listen attentively to their instructions on how to properly wear and adjust your gear. For the more active tours, it’s important to have hands-free lighting to navigate through the caves effectively. 

Stay Hydrated 

Exploring the caves can be physically demanding, so remember to bring a water bottle to stay hydrated throughout the tour. It’s crucial to maintain your energy levels and prevent dehydration. 

Follow Your Guide 

Our knowledgeable guides are experienced and well-versed in cave exploration. Listen to their instructions carefully and follow their lead. They will ensure your safety and share fascinating insights about the cave’s geology, history, and wildlife. 

Take It Slow 

Caving is not a race; it’s about immersing yourself in the unique environment! Take your time to admire the stunning rock formations and other hidden wonders within the caves. Enjoy the journey and savour the moments! 

Capture the Memories 

Bring a camera or smartphone to capture the beauty of the caves. However, be mindful of your surroundings and respect any photography restrictions in sensitive areas. Focus on being present in the moment while still preserving memories through photographs. 

Respect the Environment 

Caves are fragile ecosystems so it’s crucial to leave no trace of your visit. Follow the guidelines provided by our tour guides, refrain from touching or removing any formations, and dispose of any waste properly. 

Embrace the Adventure 

Caving may push you out of your comfort zone, but it’s an opportunity for personal growth and discovery. Embrace the adventure, challenge your limits, and create lifelong memories!
