After checking in at the Visitors Centre, you board the electric tram that will take you down into the cave and you are on your way to a memorable experience - magnificent chambers, incredible stalactites and stalagmites, bubbling streams, tumbling cascades, plunging waterfalls and emerald pools. Throughout the mile long cave the flowstone covered walls glisten in the lights as the calcite laden waters drip down from the roof.
