Echo Caves

We recently visited the Echo Caves, what a surprise. The surrounding was very clean and neat. Our welcome was very friendly. Our tour guide Junior did an excellent job by guiding us through the cave. We learned so much from him about the cave and the history. Thank you Junior for giving us a excellent experience.

The caves are really worth the visit. Very different and a great experience. There's a lot of narrow passageways and a lot of stairs, so not really ideal for the elderly. The road leading to the caves is a dirt road which isn't the best road, I can see cars getting stuck in the mud when it rains. We had a refreshing drink and some chips from the little cafe after. Really nice and well priced. Overall we had a great day out.

We did the full tour, from Madonna to Crystal Chamber. Piet was our friendly and knowledgeable guide. My son and I were the only two guests on the first section, so Piet was comfortable chatting and also sharing some personal titbits. Other guests joined us for the middle section only. The sights are fascinating. The experience is less commercialised and popularised than Sudwala. One feels very close to nature. If you're OK with a short crouch and squeeze, the Crystal Chamber is totally worth it.

I recently visited Echo Caves, and it was quite an experience. The caves themselves are absolutely stunning — the rock formations, echo chambers, and underground passages are truly impressive. Our guide was friendly and informative, sharing interesting facts about the history and legends behind the caves. However, there are a few things that could be improved. The lighting inside the caves is quite dim in some areas, making it a bit tricky to see or take pictures. Also, there are many stairs and narrow sections, which can be challenging for older visitors or those with mobility issues.

The caves were amazing. We only did the short walk but it was well worth the visit. Thabo was a wonderful and knowledgeable guide. The negatives were that even the short trip is not really suitable for people with mobility restrictions. My husband uses a stick & has a leg brace (also over 70) and it was not mentioned that there would be areas where he would have to almost crawl. It was also disappointing that when we got to the restaurant (on a Monday) we were told that it was only open on Fridays and Saturdays. An enjoyable outing.

This was something to remember. I will be coming back here again for sure. Our guide was great and our experience was absolutely amazing. We did the entire cave system from the Madonna to the crystal tour. The caves are beautiful and stunning and the climbs and stairs give you a decent workout. All in all I would recommend this to anyone who wants some great views and memories. Entrance was cheap at R85 per person.

This is the 2nd time I have visited the Echo Caves. I highly recommend doing the tour of the caves. What an incredible experience...

We went to the caves and Piet was our guide. He was well informed and answered any questions qe might have. This is a remarkable cave and it is amazing to see how it formed. The entrance was R85 per person. They have a restaurant. The food smelled amazing and when we walked past it looked delicious.
