A local cave guide leads through natural chambers with rock formations, narrow passages, and ancient markings. Torch provided. Cave entry & local guide fee included.

At Royal Senchi Resort, swimming pool access and spa treatments are available at extra cost, payable directly to the hotel on arrival — a lovely way to extend your afternoon if you'd like. We book the golf and the boat in advance for you, but availability fills quickly on weekends so the earlier you book the better. The Mogo Cave has some low passages — closed-toe shoes are a must, so please wear them on the day. Life jackets are provided and mandatory on the boat. Dinner is not included.
