The Cango Caves are located in the foothills of the Swartberg Mountains, some 28km north of Oudtshoorn in the Klein Karoo near South Africa's popular Garden Route. The Caves, a national monument and one of South Africa's top 20 tourist attractions, feature huge concert-hall sized chambers as well as narrow passages and rooms.
Tours are led by experienced and knowledgeable guides. There are two tours on offer. The shorter and easier Standard Tour (09:00-16:00) lasts an hour and departs every hour on the hour (six chambers). We recommend this tour to visitors with limited time, the elderly, those who have difficulty walking or suffer from mild claustrophobia. Please note that people who suffer from severe claustrophobia, breathing problems or any other ailment that may make you vulnerable to subterranean conditions should avoid entering the caves.
The 2nd tour is called the Adventure Tour, it lasts ±90-minutes and departs every hour on the half-hour. This tour goes into the deepest sections of the Caves open to the public, it's just over 1 km in length. The Adventure Tour is not for the faint hearted, overweight or unfit. You have to cover some sections on your haunches and negotiate tight sections.
Both these tours are more than worth your while offering breathtaking scenery
