Our wonderful tour guide Franklin was very knowledgeable about the caves, including its geological, and cultural history. Due to the majesty of this place, I consider the price of admission low for the invaluable experience obtained. The grounds are well maintained, theres free parking, clean restrooms, a small convenience store, and giftshop. Our guide provided excellent customer service and if your guide offers great service as well, remember to tip generously. Plan to spend about an hour here.

Excellent Place for a Stop. The horses in the pasture was relaxing view. Beautiful site with shaded parking lot. free mini museum, and very inexpensive entrance fee to the caves. I was able to walk right and purchase tickets at gift shop. Tour not required, then found the tour guide spoke english and was very knowledgeable and friendly.

Not bad! If you are free and have time, it is fun to see. It costs about $10 and it includes visiting the cave and seeing the iguanas. The visit would take about 30 min.

A beautiful underground labyrinth with easy access to all areas. Be aware of humidity. Also, a healthy physical condition ir recommended for the ascend aspects (returnfrom the cave, it is a stiff climb, many step, build your cardio prior to visiting for a more enjoyable experience.

Between San Pedro and la Romana. Free parking. Quiet place, big, nice. You can buy tickets there. Toilets, little shop, front desk. Offers short horse rides, interesting maze to spend some time and patience, iguana place, little show room explaining history of the place and the caves. Now elevator is no working so you have to climb stairs to enter and exit. Its like 5 floors more or less. Once inside there is a road. No photos inside and no touch stalagmites. Very wet and very nice. Its about 30 minutes tour. The guide speaks English and Spanish. Recommended and quite cheap.

This was a gem to find! We had a blast here. We visited the cave, the maze and road horses. They have a little shop with snacks and drinks that accepts cash and card. You can also pay the tickets with US dollar, Dominican peso & credit card. We took sandwiches and water for food because you walk a lot & it was very hot. Everyone was very friendly and helpful! We would definitely go back again.

Very nice place, we liked it a lot. They have a huge park with intetesting plants and few hundred iguanas! The cave is not big but well prepared for sightseeing (no photos are allowed inside). Good parking, clean toilets, cheap wooden figures in a souvenir shop :You cant go inside on your own, you need to wait for a guide. We came at opening at 9 am, but we had to wait for the guide 30 minutes. I guess they dont do the tour untill more people gather. Guide explained to us everything in English and let us feed iguanas :)

It is not allowed to take pictures inside the caves, even without a flash. A great tour guide that speaks English that gave us a wonderful tour of the cave system and the iguana area.

A great experience. The park is clean and well kept. There are donkeys and horses as you enter calmly walking around eating grass.The bathroom facilities were extremely clean, although the toilets had no seats.The cave itself was beautiful. Much of it is undisturbed, maintaining the original environment for the bats living here.There are several rooms to explore and a beautiful pool.On exit there is a large area of iguanas, more than Ive ever seen.Definitely recommend this is youre in the area.

I absolutely loved it! It’s a very beautiful place. Our tour guide was amazing explaining everything and the kids understood everything. There are life iguanas, spiders and other animals. It has very clean restrooms, a tiny museum and a small cafeteria for snacks. It is a must.

Its a nice place, as for me were hard only stairs - too much))you can see different kind of minerals inside and even a small pond, which "make your dreams come true " as one local girl said (although I am not pretty sure about it). It has some cave drawings, but not much. Not very good to make pics, because its kinda dark inside and also because its rather narrow for big group of tourists.

A great place to enjoy with the family and kids. It is a cave with many historical aborigine art. The price for adults is 300 dominican pesos. It has different areas to enjoy, horse tours, iguana mirror and cactus forest.They have a place to eat if you bring your own food. Tips are accepted for the tour guides. The tour is around 40 to 45 minutes.

Cost is 300 pesos or 10 dollars. The tour takes you inside the caves and show you Taino paints on the wall. There is a section where they have iguanas. They dont allow to take pictures inside the caves. Tours are every 15 minutes and they have a cafeteria

This cave has paintings from the original Taíno people. There are a lot of steps and the elevator was not working when I was there so it probably wouldnt be good for anyone with mobility issues although I think there are some paths through the cave that have flat surfaces. You arent allowed to take photos in the cave due to past bad experiences the staff had with visitors and to preserve the paintings. The entrance fee is $RD 300 per person and has a mandatory guide. There is also a small nature walk and an area with several iguanas. The whole area is very beautiful and I felt that I learned a lot.

The cave looks amazing, very beautiful view and vibe you get inside. The guide was very friendly and respectful to me with my zero knowledge of Spanish (he explained everything twice, English and Spanish). The price is very reasonable and at the same time the place wasnt packed with tourists.Although you can see iguanas after the cave.Worth the price!
