It was nice, but not worth the stop as compared to the other places that the Graskop area has to offer

I have definitely seen some caves before, but this cave blew my mind. I really did not expect such a huge cave there. It is approximately 1km long and will take you 50 min to complete.Our guide was well informed and also showed us some bigger side caves.100% advisable to visit.

What a nice experience.Garden is very well kept and all nice old items takes you back in time.The cave tour is well planned and the tour guide was very well prepared and the information was very entertaining and presented for everyone to understand. Very interesting stories about the cave and area around the area. Tour are given through out the day and worth the cost. Tour takes about an hour. If I can recommend take a flashlight with. There is lights inside but with a good flashlight you can see so much more.Restaurant outside caters for some quick meals.Staff is very friendly and helpful.I can highly recommend Echo Caves.

The cave tour was great ,The horseshoe bats are in the cave here and there unless you do the crystal chamber which was unfortunately not open on the 9th june as they are cleaning the bat droppings (they are toxic to humans )You can see the natural beauty of the cave most way through (the entrence is built closed which is a shame in my opinion)the guide was professional, friendly and very informativeThey were extremely short staffed as we waited 30 +min for the guide to finish with a bus of primary school children as he was the only guide there and one lady was there to run the restaurant, cave entrance and the kiosk .The restaurant and kiosk was closed as a result of the lack off staff available.

Much better cave experience. We literally walked on our hands and feet in some places to get through. The bats was amazing to see. After the heavy rains yesterday, the cave was dripping with water everywhere and it was amazing.

Nice tour, definitely worth the slight detour. Personally, the cave shape and flow is more interesting than the Sudwala caves, although the comparative dryness removed some spectacle. The scenery in the area is tré spectacular!The curio shop is much more bare-bones, but the restaurant looked nice (we did not order). Everyone we interacted with was extremely friendly.

There is soo much to learn about the history of Pedi people who were once the occupants of the Caves in the early era. It was such an experience with a tour guider explaining different formation of rocks, very educational indeed

An unexpected great place to visit. The history and the nature of the caves were interesting and fascinating. The guide were informative, enthusiastic and friendly. You just couldnt imagine what happened there without their instruction. Its close to the famous Three Rondavels, which makes it good as a spot in one trip. There is a restaurant tho we didnt try it.

Echo caves is fantastic. Over a kilometer of underground walking and the guide gives you alot of information regarding the past of these caves. Never experienced being underground for so long its amazing. The staff and guide were awesome and had humor to his lessons. The staff were great and would suggest you give it a try.

I took my kids there, very educational and exciting. They strictly comply with Covid-19 regulations. However you need to be ready to move in the cave.

What a beautiful wonder Echo Caves is. Nature truly is something else. We learned a lot on the day, this is a great place to go as a family or as a group of friends. Entrance for 1 person is R80 and you get a guided tour around. I can say a mouthful about Echo Caves, it was quite an experience. You wont regret it.

I enjoyed the experience. It was fun, educational and interesting. It is not advisable to bring very young kids and pensioners. Some of the passages are too low to pass and the stairs when you get out are too many.

Great tour!Has a restaurant and overnight facilities, haven’t tried it. Only did the tour.Must be noted on the tour you will have to crouch on the short route and on the long route you crouch even lower and more.Tour guide is very informative, he has great knowledge about caves and the history of the land/area. Seen some bats, he made good music inside. Well worth the tour!

We were the only ones there so it was great to explore by ourselves. The guide was fantastic and explained everything with great detail. The road to get here is a little rough but any SUV or Bakkie will have no trouble getting here. Please go and support them as its been done up wonderfuly

I loved the history lesson I got here, it was amazing to hear about how smart the Bapedi people were and how they stayed here as their place of safety. I tried the sacred water as well and it tasted like mineral water. The stairs at the entrance and exit will leave u breathless but it was all worth it!! Definitely not wheelchair friendly.

Had the best tour guide, started at the Madonna caves exiting at the Echo Caves which have 3 chambers( Elephant Chamber, Ostrich Chamber and Samson’s Chamberthe tour guide advised that there’s a 4th Chamber that’ll be opened which will need oxygen tanks and crawling.

Loved this place. Our guide was knowledgeable and fascinating. The Tea room quaint and went out of their way to make us feel welcome. All in all well worth the visit. Definitely recommended.Worth noting we started in the undeveloped section which was far more interesting than the shorter developed "tourist" section.

Did a tour with Phillip who was a great guide. He shared nice information about the Ba Pedi tribe who inhabited the caves and from which he stems. The Caves are also accessible and the tour does not take too long so it makes for a nice stop if youre on your way past.
