Don't be surprised if the shop is not open at the exact instant they say they will be. Just enjoy the view and they'll be there in a few minutes. More

One of the unique parts of this cave is the access is through a rustic shop. Pay the admission and go down the 145 steps through a tunnel, which is quite scary/exciting. At the end you are right above sea level and looking through an opening in the shape of a man's head. Very unique indeed. More

not worth it at all. many many steps-enough to make it a slight workout on the way up-. but once you get to the bottom, its hardly interesting beyond a quick 30 second glance. dont go!! More

I've been going to the gift shop and cave since I was a kid. The little shop is still fun to visit, and the cliffs just outside of the shop make for great vacation photos. More
