Having visited a few limestone caves in different parts of the world, I do not really fantasy any cave visiting. While such caves beautiful creations of mother nature (a result of different natural forces like earthquakes, sea waves), being not specialised in this area (i.e. the related geographical knowledge), these natural formations - stalactites and stalagmites - no matter how beautiful and unique they are (in their respective caves), they looked "similar". I could therefore only, unfortunately, appreciate if from the layman perspective, rather than its revolution and formation process.
The main reason for coming to this cave was because of the glowworms! It's my very first time to see how glowworms (not artificial lighting) lit up the entire caves! It is totally amazing to see how they space themselves to spread out the bright dots in the entire cave.
The experience in the boat was awesome! Though it only lasted less than 10min of the entire 45min tour. I wish the 'limestone cave' visit could be shorted - ok, not totally removed since it creates the necessary environment for this natural phenomenon to take place.
No picture was taken in this tour. Who else can do a better job to capture the spectacular showcase?
The professionals, of course! Bought a book on this :)
