Fun, immersive and totally worth it. - Zach and Naomi guided me, my wife and our 10-year-old son. Was a wonderful experience from start to finish, with a nice mix of semi-challenging but totally doable climbs, scampers, wading, etc. we were looking for something more immersive than Harrison’s Cave and got exactly that. Highly recommend.

Great adventure - We had a great time exploring Cole’s Cave. It was quite exhilarating, specifically in the areas requiring you to climb up chest-deep pools of water to reach a large interior room at the end. Our guides were enthusiastic and made sure to ensure everyone’s safety. Would recommend to anyone looking for a real adventure, specifically fit young people able to do some of the more challenging alternative routes.

Class Geology Trip - THIS WAS AMAZING!! A must do if you don't mind getting a bit dirty. Zak took great care of our group of 15 people. He was very knowledgeable, and I felt very safe the whole time. The cave was stunning, and we have the chance to explore on our own within reason. Naomi, Zak's assistant was also a great help and made our experience wonderful. Geology Rocks!

Field Geology Student Trip—10/10 tour guide!!! - Hi! I was one of the students in a field geology trip from Columbia University who attended Zach’s tour yesterday. I am an earth science major who has taken a lot of geology courses, including six weeks of preparatory classes for this trip. Yet, taking Zach’s tour was so informative—he was so enthusiastic and passionate, and I learned a lot about both the geology and biodiversity of the karst system. We all came out of the cave raving about our wonderful tour guide. I would recommend this excursion to everyone—tourists, geology enthusiasts, and families. Thank you Zach for an incredible experience!

Incredible Intro to Spelunking - Incredible experience. I wanted something more involved and active than sitting on a tram and looking around. Provided gloves and headlamps were very helpful. Guide also helped carry water for us. Saw several creepy bugs, a colony of bats, beautiful mineral deposited, and crystal clear springs. No regrets.

Family trip we loved - We enjoyed every bit of traveling to the cave to coming back. My husband lives to see caves any place we go but this was top best one we been to. You go climbing down rock to swimming through the cave. It was beautiful! It sure was an adventure for 6 of us. Be prepared for rocky trail. We had water shoes but you definitely need hiking water shoes. My feet do hurt.. lol ..but worth seeing this beautiful cave. Zachary was our tour guide and he was very respectful, helpful to us and kids and was very knowledgeable. Will be back in the future. Thank you Zachary!

Wonderful and Unique Experience with a top notch guide ! - A wonderful experience ! We were three families ages 60-16! We have been in caves but not one we had to navigate like this . It was a unique experience and not something you get to do everyday ! We all loved it and we can’t thank Zack enough . He was knowledgeable, easy to talk to , and gave us the time we wanted to explore and enjoy the cave ! We enjoyed a celebration dinner where we ate some yummy local food and drank some rum but the best we got to chat and laugh with Zack ! I highly recommend this tour ! You will not be disappointed ! Someday when we return to Barbados we will book another tour Zack offers !

Beautiful, unique excursion experience - Certainly wild and crazy. The cave is beautiful, deep, swimable, waterfalls, spectacular. A must do if you are in for a crazy adventure. Three stars for completely unprofessional host. He loves his cave and wants to share it with fellow spelunkers and fit travelers, but beware. Not your typical excursion. Not recommended for cruise travelers due to time constraints. Does require a mid-range fitness level. If you can deal with all those things - YOU WILL LOVE IT.

DO NOT sign up for this trip. - After booking a start time and end time was never emailed to me. I called and emailed to enquire several times with no response. I canceled my trip hoping to get my money back and STILL no response. This is a scam. I do not recommend this trip to anyone and trip advisor should take this off of their site.
