As a hiking course, it’s great for breaking a good sweat. ^ ^ However, if you’re expecting breathtaking views, it might be a bit underwhelming for experienced travelers. But if you’re someone who enjoys a good workout and doesn’t mind the lack of a dramatic view, then definitely give it a try!

Definitely worth doing - the cave is nothing but the view point is nice and good little work out. It’s 100k. I would say go on your own and do it - not worth taking a guide, but I don’t typically use guides so that would be my recommendation. Bike, park a bit away or grab a coffee in lieu of paying parking.
