Other ActivitiesGuided Cave Tour. A guided tour through the cave can last up to 3hrs in duration if required. No crawling is necessary but wear a set of old clothes due to the dust. Helmets and torches are available for hire. The entrance is divided by a thick column of rock with both sides leading down to a huge cavern some 120 long and 45m wide. Smaller passages and crevices continue on. Visit not long after the rains when the insect population increases. Thousands of bats cling to the cave walls and the bat experience can be furthered by sitting at the cave entrance overnight.
