Bucket list visit.
R120 pp.
Tours are guided and leave on the hour every hour.
Bookings are recommended, but we managed to get in without a reservation.
Our guide was stunning and sang to show the incredible acoustics of the caves.
Definitely go for a visit if you are in the area.
There is a curio shops and a restaurant with stunning views.
There are two different tours. The first is a walk that lasts about an hour. The second is an adventure hike and is longer. We did the first.
What an incredible experience. Our guide was engaging and funny. He had so many great insights to share. The Caves itself was phenomenal. The kids never got bored. They enjoyed every moment. We hope to go back and do the adventure tour sometime soon.
What a breath taking experience! The caves are wondorous, the guides are knowledgeable and friendly, the education tour is very well done although a little old, the gift shop is beautiful and well stocked. The grounds are very neatly kept, and the bathrooms clean
An amazing tour with a very informative talk. During my wait time I visited the museum and a very interesting and breathtaking documentary. Will recommend the heritage tour if you are not fit or unable to deal with closed narrow spaces .
With loadshed the card machine sometimes does not work and neither does the ATM. It's a challenge if u don't have cash . So I advise you to carry cash if you paying at the venue.

We had a great experience at this place. Each session goes after an hour. We had to wait for about 30 minutes before the next session. We went shopping around to kill the time. The shops have nice things and are reasonably priced to accommodate both locals and tourists.
Our session took 90 minutes. By the time we were done, I was finished, and the water shop was situated right at the exit door to refresh. The tour was quite amazing and the tour guide was quite amazing, especially with kids. This is a great place, and I would recommend anyone visiting Oudtshoorn to make sure they visit.
We visited very recently with my family the Cango Caves and we did the Adventure tour. We had a blast, the kids loved it. The adventure tour is not for the fainted-hearted. You get to slide through some really narrow passes and it gives you full experience of caving. Our guide was very knowledgeable and kind and made us feel at ease throughout the full tour. If you are not claustrophobic you should definitely try this out, highly recommended.
Wow these caves are truly amazing. A combination of grand father time and nature in the form of little drops coming together to create something spectacular! The tour guide was fantastic and sang beautifully for us to hear the acoustics of the chambers.
A visit to the caves never disappoints… our guide was wonderful and peppered his information with humour.
The tour of 1 hour was the perfect length for kids to enjoy, remain engaged and pay attention!
Well worth the visit
Just remember NOT to climb on the cave walls and bridal chamber ! They can be damaged !!!

The caves are magical. It is recognised as a heritage site and it was used by the first people way back when. The tour guide is very well informed and she made the tour fun. There are great photo opportunities. The adventure tour requires a reasonable fitness level and involves crawling, crouching, tight spaces and sliding.
Much improved from my last visit in the 90's... Now it's still a world class destination, with facilities to meet international expectations. Gift shop is not overpriced, food options are good, and the actual cave tours are highly informative and entertaining. Our guide spoke multiple languages and entertained our small group with her extensive knowledge about the cave system and its history.
Can really recommend a visit. it seems normally tour pre-bookings are not needed, but the process is fast and simple for when it gets busy.
