Crystal Cave WILD Tour: The most difficult physical activity I have done in many years. But at 63 years old, I am so glad I experienced this. Checked this off my bucket list. I saw things and experienced things that I never would have "up above". The two guides were experienced, helpful, and very friendly. HIGHLY RECOMMEND (if you are in decent shape and do not suffer from claustrophobia). Bring a black-light flashlight, you'll be glad you did.
