Such a wonderful experience! The volunteers who run this non-profit and tour are such a gift to the history community.

I traveled all the way from the US to see these caves. And because of their tireless efforts in preserving these carvings, I was able to learn more about them than I ever dreamt.

Such a wonderful experience! Everyone was very friendly and knowledgeable.

Prepare yourself for a walk and a lot of steps. The caves are sooooo interesting and the guide was amazing, provided lots of backstory and so obviously loved the history it was infectious. Not for really little children although our guide did say they are trying to make it more child friendly.

Our Nation's cultural history has taken a few twists and turns along this twisted coastline. Well worth a look and please check out the local preservation group SWACS.
