You will strategically crawl, duck, and squeeze through fascinating underground passages in Crazy Horse Caves, such as Tamarind Cave and Junkyard Cave. Each cave presents different challenges, so you can gain confidence in your horizontal caving.
After a locally-prepared lunch, you will end the course with an exploration of Muang On Cave, a spacious show cave. This portion of the day will allow you to compare show caves with the more rugged, natural caves.
