The Cango Caves in the Little Karoo (Garden Route) are some of the largest limestone caverns in the world and are still only partially explored.

The adventure tour begins at 9.30am and then departs every hour on the half hour (eg 10.30am, 11.30am) until 3.30pm. This is longer at 90 minutes and includes the highlights of the main tour and then heads into some of the more remote parts of the cave. This is suitable for older children (youngest age limit is 6 years) and people who are quite fit and not overweight. It’s NOT recommended for anyone who’s pregnant or suffers from claustrophobia, high blood pressure or asthma. You squeeze through little passages, crouch down a lot and right at the end there is an optional clambering section which leads to the famous ‘post box’ where you lie flat on the rock and post yourself through a narrow slit.
