Booking Tours

Please note: Caving tours are very weather dependent. With any caving tour, the weather can also change the itinerary of a tour. We try our best to offer you exactly what we advertise, but the wilderness around here can be a changeable place, and sometimes we have to adapt our tours. We will always endeavor to warn you of any itinerary changes before a tour begins, but please understand that sometimes adaptations have to occur mid-tour.

For those who would like to do a tour on their day of arrival, we recommend booking your first day’s tour in advance. To do so, please email us no later than 6pm on the night before you arrive with the following information: Your name(s), age, nationality, and hotel or train number, and the tour you wish to do. The Tulan Cave tours have limited numbers, so we recommend booking as far in advance as possible.
