Crystal Tour

At the Sudwala caves you can embark on an epic underground adventure that takes you 2000m into the heart of the caves. The goal is the crystal chamber with its amazing array of sparkling aragonite crystals.
The crystal tour is a specialized tour for the adventurous, an organized excursion that involves wading through water,crystal-tour scrambling up and down rocks and crawling through small tunnels leaving you wet and dirty but awestruck by the splendor and beauty of the crystals that surround you in the chamber.

People of average agility will have no problems clearing the obstacles, and the guide is always there to push and pull when the going gets tough.

The tour involves some crawling around tight spaces and squeezing through narrow openings,on your stomach so is not recommended for people who suffer from a heart condition or psychological ailments like claustrophobia.

It is not suitable for people with back or knee problems.and large people over 115kg will not be eligible  because they will get stuck. Children under the age of 14 years cannot take the tour. The crystal tour no longer takes place on the  first Saturday of the month because of COVID restrictions. Group bookings can be made on any day but no strangers will be included in a group to make up the numbers. We can accommodate groups of up to 15 people at a time and a minimum of 6 people. It is essential that bookings are made in advance to avoid disappointment. Contact info@sudwalacaves.com to make a booking. Time of arrival at the cave entrance for groups is 9.30am in time for departure into the cave at 10am.

Duration of the tour is about 4 hours.

A 50% deposit is required to secure the booking. Deposits must be made 14 days prior to the commencement of the tour. If the deposit is not received your place will be forfeited. If cancellations are made less than 2 weeks prior to the tour departing, the deposit will be forfeited.

Everybody will need to bring their own torch (preferably a head lamp as you will need your hands free to crawl). You need to wear old clothes (Shorts/tracksuit pants and a T-shirt or overalls) no jeans as they tend to be restrictive and shoes with good grip (boots or takkies). No open shoes unless they fasten to your feet. Do not wear jewelry or non-waterproof watches. No bulky rucksacks and no food or drinks are allowed in the cave so have a good breakfast before you set off.
