BEFORE YOU GO · CAUTIONARY DETAILS
Confined spaces are the activity
There are sections you pass through on your stomach with rock against your back. If that is not for you, this is the wrong trip and there is no shame in saying so at the entrance.
Three light sources, always
A helmet lamp plus two backups is the standard. The operator supplies them; check yours works before you go underground.
Caves are colder than the walk in
Constant temperature year round, usually around 10-15C, and you will be wet. Layers under the overall, not over it.
Nothing comes out but you
No touching formations, no marks, no souvenirs. A stalactite takes a century to grow a centimetre and a second to break.

Early starts, but that's where the wildlife is. Well run. Nothing fancy about the beds, and nothing wrong with them either. Crew were professional without being stiff about it. Would send friends their way.

Excellent sightings and the guides clearly knew the area. Dorms were tidy and the common areas were where the group actually gelled. Meals were good throughout and the vegetarian options weren't an afterthought. Would send friends their way.

Excellent sightings and the guides clearly knew the area. Dorms were tidy and the common areas were where the group actually gelled. Plenty to eat and they were happy to work around a gluten allergy. No hesitation recommending them.

Questions people ask

There are squeeze sections and there is chest-deep water. Day two is a lit walk-through cave specifically so that anyone who discovers they cannot do this discovers it on day two rather than four hours into Liat Prah. Nobody is talked into continuing.
