5Excellent and original tour
This was a highlight of our tour. Visiting the cave is a very special experience and we enjoyed it a lot. Walk in the forest was also nice.
4Fun time exploring a new place.
Fun experience. Guide was great and explained the area well. Wish I had been able to see more of the ice formations that are shown in photos, but I went in August and there wasn’t much. Still, the cave and things inside were very interesting to experience and learn about. Highly recommend.
5A fascinating day in the caves and forest
Tada was mine and my brother’s guide and he gave us such a wonderful experience. We are both interested in history and Tada told us a lot about the area and the caves and forest. Plus, he fought a bear and won and that’s pretty awesome.
5Awesome experience!
Tada was very knowledgable about the forest -- he discussed the plants, mushrooms, and animals with my kids and they loved it. The wind cave that we went to (not any of the major ones) was a bit challenging for my 8 year olds mainly because it was cold. Probably a good idea to bring gloves. But overall it was a fun experience!
5First time visit with family and was incredible
Incredible experience, with Toshi out guide who made it an educational and humorous. Be sure to wear really good warm clothing as it does get chilly. Before the cave the walk through the forest was quite out of this world.
5Enjoyable hike. Our guide...
Enjoyable hike. Our guide was very knowledgeable and shared interesting information about the geological events. Recommend.
