I havent been to the Cango Caves in many years, but the upside of COVID-19 is that the tour groups are very small providing ample opportunity to take pictures without people in the shot. The downside is that only the heritage tour is open at the moment - but definitely worth the visit for photo ops. What a unique opportunity!

Absolutely worth the trip. Super awesome experience and beautiful. Staff very friendly, informative and so passionate about their jobs. Our tour guide was very good and funny

Always a special place since my first visit in the 80’s with the folks. My dad did the full adventure route with me. So a bit disappointed that COVID-19 closed the adventure section cos I definitely wanted to take my kids. Nevertheless still an awesome place to visit. R150 an adult and R100 per child is slightly on the steep side. Will definitely be back

What a brilliant experience! The Cango Caves are incredible and so interesting, it really is worth a visit and joining a tour. My guide, Jason, was brilliant. He was informative, funny and able to explain the very complicated science in an understandable way. I was so impressed and would definitely recommend it as a must-do activity while in Oudtshoorn!PS if you are in the area - the tourism office in Oudtshoorn is incredibly helpful and they are so passionate about their area. Please pop in when you are in town!

Great tour. Bring back some memories when we first went their, after that with the choir. Today we had a great tour guide, Leigh-Ann. She was great! Humorous! She even sang to us in the first hall. Well done!

A must see when in the Western Cape. We had an amazing guide. The adventure tour is closed at the moment but it did not take anything away from the time we spent there in the other sections. So informative. The ablutions are clean, the staff are all very friendly and very courteous.

Every South African should visit this historic landmark at least once. The tour is excellent and our guide was passionate, informative with a great sense of humour. We loved every second of the tour. Pity the restaurant and curio shop closed due to Covid, but hopefully they will soon be operating again

My second time there after 30 years. We were lucky to not have to queue at all, we arrived and went straight into the standard tour (unfortunately the adventure tour was not happening with covid restrictions).Our tour guide was fantastic and combined some historical know how with humor and charm. It was really great to explore the caves as an adult and the sheer size of some of the caves was really an eye opener. Even if you have lived in South Africa your entire life you should still visit the famous Cango Caves.There are a lot of stairs to climb in the caves so dress light and carry light. It’s quite humid in the caves but no matter the weather outside, the caves are always around 19 degrees inside.

Tour guide was amazing. Her way of sharing information was quite entertaining and kept us interested. Cave was so beautiful and definitely a memorable experience

A truly spectacular experience! A very impressive tour of the Cango Caves. These photos do not do the Cango Caves justice. It is just something you HAVE TO see it for yourself! The guide was very knowledgeable and led us safely through the cave system. 10/10 - would recommend. Well worth your money.

It was actually great. The staff gave a great tour. It was amazing.

Great experience. Well looked after, interesting and worth a visit. Tour guides are friendly and know their stuff!

My first time at the Cango Caves and I was amazed by everything. The only down side is because of Covid the restaurant and curio shop was closed and has been for a year. I was looking forward to buying something to remember our experience. Other than that, the guide, Alfred, was very entertaining and knowledgeable. I would recommend it to anyone who hasnt been yet.

Cannot caves (cango meaning a place with water) is an interesting historical place.The history of cave man and how they lived in earlier days. The tour guide was very friendly and pleasant to have around

A sixty minute stroll through some pretty cool formations. Our guide was wonderful. It was relaxed and informative. I hate to say anything good has come from this awful pandemic, so I wont. It was strange to be the only ones in the tour that normally would max out at 100.Dont miss the drive over Swartberg pass and the waterfall at Meringspoort. Awesome and gorgeous.

Can try fitting through the gaps first with the scale model gaps at reception. Amazing experience!

Great experience and a true national beauty. Our guide was so informative and had answers to everybodys questions.The facilities really are world class as wellA must for any South African

A very interesting experience. The tour guide was very professional and knowledgeable.

Am amazing experience of thousands of years in the making. The lighting in the caves makes it an unforgettable experience. The lockdowns have left the caves in need of cash flow but the guide still kept an upbeat demeanor with a small group through the tour.

I have been to the caves in 2008 and now again, what a spectacular and amazing creation. The guide is well knowledge, I mean he is there since 1994 so obviously....lol... we enjoyed the heritage tour..... I will be working on my figure to do the adventure tour as soon as it re opens

One of the best tours weve ever had! Exceptionally friendly staff - from the moment we arrived, we were treated with such kindness. Our guide, Chrystal, was top notch! Friendly, funny, and passionate about her job. We enjoyed every moment. My husband and I highly recommend visiting the Congo Caves.

Very nice family visit. Pity restaurants still closed due to covid. Guides very informative.

A true unique experience: a massive cave system stretching a few kilometres with a rich history. One of South Africas natural heritage sites. Photos cant capture the vastness and intricate detail of these Caves, a must see with your own eyes type of experience.

Family friendly, fun tour through these magnificent and ancient caves, you can do it in flip flops :) Temperature is about 19 degrees Celsius in the caves. Last tour is at 3pm. Restaurant is currently closed until further notice.Beautiful and such a great learning experience about the formations. A must-do if in the area or surrounding Garden route/Klein karoo.We drove from mossel bay to view the beautiful meirings poort fountain just past oudtshoorn and then drove back towards the cango caves then back to oudtshoorn for dinner and onwards to mosselbay. Managed the trip comfortably in a day and saw the most scenic mountain passes. Truly beautiful.

The cave is located right as you exit Oudtshoorn, its a clear route unlikely to get lost. The staff is welcoming and friendly. We were offered to take a quick tour in the building before purchasing tickets, no pressure applied. The lady in the ticket section was hospitable, she explained to us about the tour and scheduled times. Its unfortunate the restaurants were closed due to Covid 19 pandemic. Nevertheless, our tour was awesome. We were guided by a gentleman by the name of Alfred. He is very much informed about the caves. The tour was humourous and accommodating, I was with my 4yr old daughter and she surely enjoyed. I recommend the visit, its not too busy as people are still observing the Covid 19 restrictions. If you get a chance your support at the Cango would be highly appreciated.

We had an awesome experience at the caves today. We are on our honeymoon and were blessed to be the only 2 people on the tour. WOW! Thank you Lesie!!! It was an amazing experience. Lesie is extremely knowledgeable and is very enthusiastic about his job. Thank you very much

The formations in this cave structure are absolutely breathtaking and are a must see for young and old. We had a wonderful tour guide that was patient and that answered any and all of our questions no matter how dumb they seemed. A definite must for any nature lovers if you are in Oudshoorn, South-Africa.

Very knowledgeable & friendly guide. Was great to visit again.

Fantastic tour guide with an amazing voice. Loved the smaller groups

5 stars for cave and 0 for our guide. His behavior wa really unprofessional. Whole tour took 13 minutes to come to the end of the cave. I wasted 150 rand on that. Other guides looked more professional. I would definitely prefer to visit on my own, without necessity to run promptly to finish tour ASAP. Johnny he said was his name. Even didnt say goodbye at the end.Updated: contacted on-site manager, came to second excursion and Lee was on top of everything, tour was enjoyable.

Tour guider is so full of energy and very friendly youll enjoy the whole session. These caves are so beautiful. Full of history

A truly magical experience and exhibition of our planters magnificence…

Excellent heritage site. The briefing was well versed great tour

We had a great guide who knew a lot about the caves. A good learning experience.

Theo was the tour guide, excellent experience, my wife and I definitely encourage anyone to go, unfortunately the Adveture tour, that we actually wanted to do, was closed due to covid, but all and all it was amazing!

Wonderful time spent at the caves. Very interesting and a good place to take the family. Had a great experience. Tours are limited so book in advance. Highly recommended!

A truly spectacular experience! A very impressive tour of the Cango Caves. Our guide, Lezano, was very knowledgeable and led us safely through the cave system. 10/10 - would recommend. Well worth your money.

Amazing experience. Lee-ann was an amazing guide. She really knows how to make the tour even better with her jokes, insights and experience. There is a lot to see and everytime you go, youll notice something different. A definite must do when in the area.

Very interesting and Geographic. I think most schools should start visiting for educational purposes

The Cango Caves are located in Precambrian limestones at the foothills of the Swartberg range near the town of Oudtshoorn, in the Western Cape Province of South Africa. The principal cave is one of the countrys finest, best known, and most popular tourist caves and attracts many visitors from overseas. Although the extensive system of tunnels and chambers go on for over 4 km (2+1⁄2 mi), only about a quarter of this is open to visitors, who may proceed into the cave only in groups supervised by a guide.

What an amazing experience. Thank you keep up the good work

The Cango Caves is really amazing.... a must see and explore. My 4th time there.

The best ever place to visit,I really enjoyed the tour inside the caves. Lovely tour guide as well.

Was great to visit the Cango Caves again after weve seen it almost 25 years ago for the first time.Building is a bit neglected and was disappointed that no shops or restaurants were open - even with the presence of Covid, Im sure the authorities can work around these ...The caves were still magnificent to see and our tour guide has done a wonderful job.

Very interesting place to experience, the guide was amazing!

Am amazing experience. I cant wait to come back and do the adventure tour!

Great experience. The caves are beautiful

What an incredible South African treasure!

Great Experience, Nice Calming Caves.And Some Great History

It was good. I like the part when they switch off all lights and you can experience complete darkness. It was unusual. Nice feeling when you have a tour for just 5 people. I have been to similar caves many times, thats why I am not amazed. But it was not bad experience.

Lovely to be back after visiting as a child. Only downside was all the shops and restaurants are closed due to COVID, which seems odd when most retail and dining spots across SA are open with limited seating.

Wonderful guided tour the lady gave us. She even helped us to take photos. Shes considered .

Great experience that the kids and adults will enjoy. The staff and tour guides make you feel right at home.

Really impressive cave formation right outside Oudtshoorn South Africa. My wife and I visited in February 2020. I’ve been to a fair amount of caves and these were some of the more impressive ones. The 1 hour heritage tour is a great experience — very informative but not overwhelming as well. Really impressive show lights to amplify the beauty of the cave. Don’t miss this one!

Unfortunately, due to Covid19, the adventure tour was closed. But we had a tour of about 10 people, with a very knowledgeable tourguide. It remains a must see if you visit the area. The support during this time is also much needed.

This is one of top must visit,try experiencecango caves offer multiple tracks , packages depends on how much you wanna see and the timing to youyou will have a tour guide all the way telling all the history and informationthe road to here is long if you staying Johannesburg and a bit dangerous , there are multiple stops you can do on the way to here like Ostriches farm and suchor i saw bus tours coming to here

Wow, under the lockdown circumstances, well done to the team working on site. Tour guide was way better that 8 years ago, upgrades on lights were done, clean and had a wonderful experience. Shops were closed of course and only one tour option was available. But still worth it.

Amazing formation with a very Amazing tour guide 👏 👏

One of those that doesnt really make the bucket list easily BUT is great to tick off.Amazing experience and our guide John was fantastic

A must do. Beautiful sites and caves. The guide was very thorough and knowledgeable. Well worth the drive and price

Tour was amazing!!! However the guides are in such a rush to get home that they forget to check the place before locking up which is really concerning as we had an experience where someone got locked up in the building an even though the alarm rang several times there was no response. We had to get the person out on our own. Utterly disappointing

Internationally well-known...definitely worth the visit for locals as well! Great guide, informative trip, kids and adults enjoyed it alike...covid protocols in place!

I enjoyed the history of the cave very much. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the cango caves.I went for the first time in the 1990s (I dont remember much of it) and was happy to have been able to take my kids there,aged 7 and 6. We did the heritage tour, which is suitable for kids as well.

Great experience and friendly staff that were very informative.

Always the greatest experience. Very humbling.

It was an Amazing expiernce... The tour girl was very very pleasant and friendly... new a lot of history about the caves.....We will come again....

Our tour guide was funny and very insightful. Definitely a must see in South Africa. The other staff is very friendly and helpful.

The saying: one mans sunset is another mans dawn. Covid has really affected this place very badly as there are almost no visitors. We are about 9 in our group (normal group is 100) and due to that the tour was fun, interactive and tour guide had ease controlling and guiding us. Definitely taking more friends and family there

The place is great, the tour guide was even greater, very knowledgeable about the caves with a great sense of humor

The Caves are incredible to see.Beauty in the most unusually places. A treat for the eyes. We loved it

Great tour! A must see for anyone visiting Oudtshoorn. The tour guide was knowledgeable and all Covid regulations in place.

It breaks my heart to see awesome tourist destinations like this struggling because of the lack of visitors.I realize that every one is counting pennies, but if you can travel, please do! Our country has such a rich heritage and especially since the international guests are not coming, we need to support our own tourism industry.Cango is so special, definitely worth a visit.

It was a great experience. I think there needs to be a separate tour for the little ones, we couldnt hear our guide, the children were running around, etc. Besides those things, Theo was great!

Amazing, so peaceful. And our guide Lee Anne was simply amazing. Her voice and singing. Will definitely go back

Great place. Its an awesome tour with great formations. The staff was friendly and attentive. Our guides were great. It was well worth the travel time to get there. The cost was moderate. Highly recommended.

Amazing Gods creation!!!

Very intersting and worthwhile visis. Sadly not maintained as it should be. Info displays are old and dated. The is what corruption and mismanagment does to a place. So sad to see our tourism gems go backward. Still worth the visit.

Amazing experience, our guide was informative and friendly! I will definitely return for the Adventure tour!

Beautiful. Amazing how nature works. Sad about how Covidxhas impacted tourism. Only two visitors at the time we visited.

Amazing Guide we had with the guide lady on the 31st of December 2020

It is very impressive and the guided tour informative. It is a pity that access to the deeper parts of the cave is closed

This place is super fantastic.You will never forget what you see in this cave.Inside the cave is so huge, but they are well maintained so that you will not be disgusted.If you like to go to adventure, you must choose longer route.You will see unmemorable cave.

What a brilliant magical experience, the kids had a blast and the tour guide was fantastic, truly a South African gem to be proud of.

Beautiful walk through the caves. The guide was knowledgeable and friendly.

Loved it...What an interesting experience...Great guide. Its on international standard

Insightful experience into how the cango caves were discovered and formed. Its the biggest cave in South Africa. Youll see massive stalagmite and stalactite structures throughout the cave. Some of them merging and creating completed columns. Its really fascinating to see how small they start and how massive the structures can grow over hundreds of years from water dripping. A walk through history is always welcomed. If youre adventurous theres a tour where u can venture deeper and crawl through small holes. Since I visited during covid this wasnt operational. Theres also a section in the cave that was used for concerts but they stopped doing this as people started vandilising and breaking pieces of the cave. Youll still walk through this area and our tour guide was kind enough to sing for us. We listened to this heavenly echo, it really sounded amazing. Also, be prepared for complete and utter darkness once they turn off the lights.

What a lovely experience.. covid protocols in place.. no adventure tours though , great tour guide as wel!!!..

What a moving experience. A bucket list MUST!

Lovely experience, however not all that is offered is recommended for people who are claustrophobic. Its is very, very hot inside the caves so dress accordingly and carry water bottles with.

Our heritage in nature. Amazing tour with great guide. So informative and great for kids. Be warned, it gets hot!

From Oudsthoorn its about 30 minute drive. But well worth it. What an experience! Truly amazing to see the formations. It wasnt our first time but the kids were very young when we went first time so it was great for them to see it again when they older and can understand the significance of it all. Its best to phone beforehand and make a booking as the groups are much smaller and all Covid-19 protocols are being followed. The tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable. I will definitely recommend the trip.

An amazing experience ❤️Lee-Anne is such a wonderful tourguide!!!

Spectacular. 40 years since last visit. Excellent guide, Leslie.

The tour was fantastic its an experience that Ill never forget its quite an interesting story

Friendly staff, very beautiful and educational

My son(8) absolutely loved this experience. The caves are so beautiful and it really is mind blowing to think how the first man entered and explored with only a candle. Worth a visit for sure to expand your mind.

It was amazing, Id say the only thing that was not nice is that the adventure part of the cave was closed due to covid regulations but other wise it was amazing!I would love to go back there sometime.

Not to be missed. Pity the adventure part was closed due to covid-19 - understandably. Still worth the visit.

Enjoyed the history and walking through caves

One of a kind experience. To see something that nature has shaped over millions of years. Breathtaking
