Great cave to visit and kids will love it but not suitable for anyone with a disability as there are a lot of steps to go down to the cave and to come back up as well! There are platforms along the way where you can stop and take a well earned rest! Lovely to see though would recommend, if you are making a day of it I would suggest stopping off in Doilin village for a wander around and maybe a spot of lunch
