This was our first visit to a cave like this. We were very impressed with the auditorium and found the cave much bigger than we expected More

You do need a camera which is good at taking photos in the dark without flash, because the caves are lovely to look at. Lots of steps, but you can see what you need to see but just keeping in the immediate area where seating is. More

The views inside the cave are stunning, it was also much bigger than I expected with it being on different levels. Also suprising there is a concert hall inside which would be interesting to hear what the sound would be like. More

I enjoyed a perfomance of Les Miserables in Concert here but must warn anyone that though the venue is quite charming with the lighted rock formations all around you need to take some warm clothing and possibly a waterproof if you find yourself sitting underneath one of the dripping stalactites. A rather damp but still enjoyable experience. More

Stunning rock formations stalagtites/stalagmites of complex shapes. Is a concert hall and I wonder how such a concert would sound like (as well as coping with parking). You are driven to the top by a van that also takes you to the top of the rock. There is a lower cave but this needs specialised guides and skills to enter... More

The English language simply doesn´t have the words to properly describe how majestic this is. I came shortly before they closed and after walking around the Rock all day so I dont know if it was from exhaustion, dehydration, or the magnificence of this site but I nearly burst into tears twice. The first time when I stopped walking and... More

Impressive visit. Great examples of stalactites and stalagmites, many illuminated, some shown in cross section . A 600 seat theatre , but seats dusty, and not appear to have been used recently. More

We spent only about 20 mins here as we were keen to see the apes which are just outside this cave. The caves are lit up in different colours which makes the inside really beautiful.Well worth a visit and if you take the mini bus tour the ticket is often included in the price. More
