Remember the inflatable swimming tubs we used as kids? These tubs are similar to those. For this experience, you have to sit on the tub and float your way wading through the river inside the cave (with professionals of course).

As you go inside the cave, don’t shriek out if spot bats that might fly past. But relax, they won’t eat you! As you go further in, you will find beautiful stalactites and stalagmites (please explain a little what they are) as well as other ornamental structures like moonmilk, crystals, and perspective figurines. As you go in the centre of the cave you will find a vast natural pool. You could get off the tub here and enjoy a swim! Many tourists enjoy their time swimming here or jumping from the top. The sunlight through the open top of this part of the pond makes it look magical.
