Very nice as long as you go in the morning when there's not much people around. Very slippery at some places. Beware of red ants as they can bite you they live in the grass don't go barefoot I went with shoes and still got bitten and believe me it hurts badly and burns. There was a pretty kitty, bonus point for kitty.

This attraction is relatively remote. The lagoon water quality is so-so, and the path leading up to the cave is very difficult, basically just hiking. The paths inside the cave are also slippery. The scenery is okay, but it's rather dark! It's not as good as Jang Cave, which is closer to the city!
