First timers and those with young kids chose to go on either Levels 1 or 2.
Fai having been in the cave before opted to go along with his sister and father for Level 4. We had with us head lamps and were wearing either sandals or sport shoes. Fai's feet ended up badly blistered by his sandals, so proper shoes are advisable. Keep your hands free as you will need to crawl and grab.
Han and Ean were not keen, so I played by the stream with them
We were joined by those who completed their quick tour of the wonderful cave.
There were lots of fish but were very difficult to catch.
After 4 hours, JY finally emerged from the underground stream. First thing she did was to wash her shoes.
The rest strolled out with clean shoes as they had used the gushing water to wash their footwear before coming out from the cave.
Fai said he had a great time.
They had to crawl through narrow crevices, slide 20 feet down huge boulders, got to see a secret garden and much more.
Here's what DH wrote in FB:
" I encourage all families to go for it, the young ones will like it too. A bit scary, a bit dark, dangerous to some, let some imagination run wild, feel the fresh cold water, wet, dry, muddy, sandy and rocky earth with your bare hands, legs ...and soaked body. Its 4 hours of fun and thrills! Ask for the new extended route also. The feeling of danger is so invigorating. If your life is too safe its time to face some danger for a change. Experiencing team work with strangers and making new friends in the group is a bonus. "
There was a large crowd as it was a national holiday. There were at least 50 in their group and most of them had torches, so it was well lit - like a party in the caverns. Although only one guide was with them, the tour went smoothly with many willing to lend a helping hand.
I was most impressed with a young man who made it through Level 3 minus one leg and using crutches. Salute!
