Not perfect but still fine

體驗其實蠻有趣的人數不多玩起來品質不錯而且洞裡面也是真的很漂亮不是真的需要很多體力累的程度大概三顆星(滿分五顆) 垂降攀岩爬石頭真的都蠻好玩的建議大家鞋子要穿對尺寸不然鞋子沖走走石子路是有點痛的但是教練對於工作太缺乏熱情感覺只是在做例行公事拍照也是隨手拿起相機隨便拍個一兩張還沒對焦然後設備部分整個就是非常需要改進整路都可以聞到安全帽的異味整體來說算是個可以參加的活動體驗部分都是有趣的設備跟員工部分需要加強當日體驗僅供參考～也許別人的教練沒那麼糟糕建議還是夏天來玩感覺會更好玩！ - The experience was interesting. Each group’s maximum is 6, the quality is fine. The cave inside was really amazing! It is not really tired for this tour. Maybe just 3 stars for tiring level Abseiling, and rock climbing were really fun! But The guide is lack of passion for his job, it feels like just doing what he needs to do every day. When he took photo of us, let us feel he didn’t care whatever he took, just needed photos for the group. We thought the device is too old to use, it really really needs to be replaced. You can feel the super weird smell whole the ways when you wear the helmet. Overall, You still can join this tour! It’s really fun and interesting for experience. But you’d better come in Summer, It’s should be more interesting than Winter. Thank you !

黑水漂-洞穴螢光蟲

導遊很有經驗，只要專心聽著導遊的指示，一切非常安全。整趟旅程驚艷無比，有在黑暗洞穴看銀河的感覺！很棒
