Sturdy footwear
Wear closed-toe shoes with good grip—steps and cave floors can be slippery and uneven.
Respect the formations
Do not touch stalactites or stalagmites; oils from skin halt growth and damage delicate calcite.
Bring a light jacket
Temperatures inside the caves and at the upper station are noticeably cooler than the valley below.
Timing for crowds
Visit early in the day on weekdays to avoid family crowds and enjoy clearer commentary from guides.
Sturdy hiking shoes
Grip and ankle support make uneven cave floors and stair sections safer.
