GOOD TO KNOW

Practical details

The duration excludes transport. Cave access is via uneven, sometimes slippery steps and is not step-free. Swimming is optional; non-swimmers should not enter the cave water. Children need adult supervision. Tell David about swimming ability and mobility needs before the visit. The photographs show the nearby Jambiani coast rather than the cave interior.

Tell me about food preferences, walking pace and access needs when you enquire. We’ll agree any changes to the route and price before you confirm.
