Thoroughly enjoyed our visit to these caves. The guide was very knowlwdgeable and provided commentary in English and Spanish. Took about 50 mins to get around and whilst it there were some low ceilings the majority of the cave was easily accessible...perhaps not for pushchairs etc though. As others have said there are a few surprises in store which are... More

The other part of the lava tunnel along with the Jameos del Agua these caves stretch way under the surface and without too much artificial lighting and "tarting up" the tour is a magnificent experience for all. There are one or two low passages through which you have to pass (always able to walk through) but the wonders you see... More

Entrance here is 8 euros and you are guided through 1km of under ground caves. We were apprehensive of exploring the caves, imagining tight, cramped spaces but apart from a couple of places when you had to duck down the passageways are surprisingly open. Your guide gives you a potted history of the cave,how they were formed and what they... More

Natural caves and an interesting story from the guide with a twist! After walking through you come out to an open area where they put on concerts for the acoustics and into the sun where there is a lovely pool. More

We went with friends and were expecting a "run of the mill" tourist attraction. The visit was much more impressive than we expected, the "cave" is more extensive than many we have visited in the past, the caverns are truly spectacular and you can visualise the lava running through the tubes to the sea. The walkways are well surfaced but... More

We weren't sure what to expect when we arrived at the carpark as there doesn't seem to be much around, but once you enter the 'cave', which is actually a lava tunnel, they do go a long way. There are some steps along the way and you do need to bend down where the ceiling is low, so would not... More

We arrived at the car park which seemed to be in the middle of nowhere, but easily found a space. A short walk and we paid the 8 euros each and immediately joined a tour group. Though the majority of the group were native spanish speakers, the guide also spoke in English. He was a most informative and enthusiastic guide.... More

We loved this, walking into and through the lava caves. Did this on our hired car trip and well worth the journey. Note: There are several easy steps to negotiate while walking in these caves, so not so good for wheelchairs, prams, etc. More

The caves were ok but I thought the tour was a little overpriced, but maybe I've been a bit spoit by some of the other caves we've visited (New Zealand, Majorca) More
