Frequently asked questions

What's the most intense moment during the caving session?

Narrow passages that require full-body crawling are typically the peak adrenaline point. You're moving in complete darkness with your headlamp as the only light source, which amplifies the physical challenge considerably.

Do I need to be afraid of confined spaces to skip this?

Claustrophobia is worth considering seriously. If tight, low-ceiling passages trigger real discomfort, discuss this with the instructor before booking. The session is marked as open to everyone, but honest self-assessment matters here.

How long is the underground section of the trip?

The session runs from a half day to a full day depending on the group and conditions. The instructor will confirm the exact format when you arrange the meeting point.

Is this suitable for children or first-timers?

Yes. The physical level is listed as 'Everybody welcome,' which means the route is adapted to the group. First-timers and younger participants are explicitly included.
