What an exciting birthday party Thomas had. From the minute the kids got dressed in their overalls with torch and hard hat!! Energy and excitement was up. Abseiling down into the cave was so much fun for boys. I can't explain what a fab time we had.It was exciting exhilarating and to top it off, educational.
Needless to say- I'll be back with my younger son's Bday in sept.
To top it all, we got to see all the photographs from our trip, put up on the website for us to download when we got home!

Thank you so much for party that was held last week for my thirteen year old son Jason.The kids loved it and cannot stop talking about it and the fathers that went down raved about it.
The team that put it all together were awesome -well done to them.
The team of guides took photos of the kids abseiling down into the cave and on the trip underground and the real highlight was getting to see the
photographs that were put up on the website afterwards!
Regards
Mary

When my daughter Julia asked for an adventure party, I didn't think it would turn out the way it did... Everyone was excited; going down the caves was definitely new for everyone.
The children and adults alike loved every minute of their time in the cave, they learned a lot about bats, caves and very old mine tales. I wish to thank WIld Cave Adventures for making this an experience Julia and her friends will remember and speak about for a long time!

To the Wild Cave Team,
Thank you for an absolutely fabulous outing. The teens all agreed that this was the best birthday party they have been to in their lives. Every year I have to better what I did previously – next year is going to be really tough. Topping the day spent with your crew is practically impossible!
I am sure that my family and I will be back for more adventures with Wild Caves.

We had the most wonderful day, so a big thank you to all involved. The boys came home filthy and exhausted - what more could we ask for a birthday party!!

I just want to thank Wild Cave Adventures for the way in which the event was handled. All the kids at the party, and the 2 daddies in particular, enjoyed it tremendously. The parents all phoned to thank me as the kids couldn't stop raving about the experience.

We would like to thank the Wild Cave Adventures team and Guide "Dewald" for a super day.
It was an awesome way to celebrate Laurens 15th Birthday.
It's now 24 hours and they are still talking about their caving experience-what a way to celebrate a birthday! We have shown them all the pics that were put up on the Wild Cave Adventures website Gallery which they can show their families just what their day was all about. Highly recommended. My younger daughter enjoyed it so much, she wants her birthday there in May.

My son's 9th birthday party at Wild Caves was in the words of a well travelled 13 year old - awesome! From my 9 year old to my 63 year old mom we had a fantastic adventure. In our closeted world it was great to have have an explore that was still an adventure, slightly dangerous and unsanitised. My only complaint is that it could have been longer - I wasn't ready to come to the surface after 3 hours!. Well done to Wild Caves

My son Duran had his 13th birthday at the caves and did they have fun. All I have heard is that was the best party ever. They learnt alot and had so much fun. He wants his next birthday there as well. Everything is well organised cant wait to see the pictures. I will definitely recommend this venue for a party totally different and alot of fun.
Thanks to everyone involved at Wild Caves.

The boys had a fabulous time. It was a great party. James, the guide, was amazing. He explained things really well and has a superb knowledge of the cave. We were in very capable hands. I will certainly send the link to the photos thru to all the moms. They are fascinated by what we got up to and will certainly appreciate the photos.

I’d like to thank you for a wonderful time!! Dewald was fantastic with the kids! He even convinced a kid that was hysterical about the depth of the cave – to go down and join everybody. That kiddo was SO impressed with how everything looked down there – he forgot all about his fears! The guide knew how to handle the kids, telling them about history, etc – and to be honest: they remembered more about what he told them, than what their teachers were telling them throughout the year!
Once again: thank you very much!! I’m still reliving the experience through my kid that still can’t stop talking about the adventure.

Just wanted to say what a great adventure my 12-year old girls had yesterday. They thoroughly enjoyed it. My 9 year old son insists that that is his next party venue.

Wow, what a party, I drove Sandy the organizer crazy and all that she had to say to me the whole time is Relax.
We took 20 nine year old boys to the bat caves, the kids loved it. All was done professionally and very safely. The fathers that went with also had a blast.
We would just like to thank the Guides and the Organizers for having so much patience with all the changes we made as well as with all the boys. Thank you!!!! Pierre and Lauren (Francois)

I decided that I wanted to do something very different for my daughter Savannah's 11th birthday and did we ever.... it was awesome!!!! Going down the caves was new to everyone involved, including the adults and my mother (Savannah's grandmother). The kids love the "face painting" down there and the girls believe that their skin is now so much softer.... They also learned so much about the cave, bats, miners in the olden day - which was a huge bonus!! Thankyou to Neil and Sandy for making it happen and for your kindness and friendliness. Thank you to Frederick for your knowledge and patience with the kids (and adults) and for making it so special for Savannah and her friends. I received many sms's from the parents of Savannah's friends to tell me that they just cannot stop talking about their "COOL" adventure. Thanx again. Mandy & Savannah

Our trip down the cave was fantastic! Both the adults and kids loved it,and I have received comments from the parents attending that it was the best birthday party they have ever been to. The pressure is on to find something as adventurous, and entertaining for Conrad's next birthday. Our guides James and Donald were great: informative, considerate, fun
and obviously passionate about what they do, and the caves themselves.
Thanks

My 9 year old son, Jordan, celebrated his birthday by having a fantastic cave adventure along with 12 of his friends. The boys loved every minute of the cave experience and my son assured us that it was his best birthday party ever!
To everyone at Wild Caves, thank you SO much for a wonderful adventure that was well organised and a great hit with the boys (including the adult ones!!).
Our thanks and appreciation go to Neil and Dawie who were truly great with the kids.
Sandy, you are one organised lady and it was a pleasure to work with you!
We have no hesitation in recommending this venue to anyone who is keen on having an awesome adventure with a difference.

We loved looking at the photo’s that get put on the website after the party.
Everyone really enjoyed the experience, in fact, I think that the adults had an even better time than the kids. They are still talking about it. Don’t think they get out enough!
It was a wonderful day out or rather, in!

a mammoth thank you for the breathtaking experience bestowed on Ross and his mates on his 13th birthday. Without doubt it was the most awesome encounter.
The professionalism in execution of the event was marked. The enthusiasm and sheer commitment of the guides, Don and James made the event come alive for the boys. They learned a lot, in a fun, age appropriate way - but more they have all developed a real appreciation for the natural history that evolves in a cave.
Each one of them, have taken with them a sense of achievement - especially as they were all filled with a sense of apprehension before entering the cave. The sense of
Camaraderie stayed with them for the rest of the evening.
Caving has singularly for Ross, been the most 'random' birthday.
From his folks and friends - thank you for making it possible

Both my sons - Conrad (11yrs) and Kieran (10yrs) have had caving parties with Wild Caves. They explored Bat Caves and had an amazing time. The guides were fantastic, making sure the boys were safe at all times and telling them all about the cave structure and history. Everyone really had a blast - the few Dads who joined us had a great time also. All your photos are posted on the internet after the party which is also very handy. I would highly recommend this venue.

My son, Shayne, had his 13th party in the bat caves with 10 of his friends. Every one of these naughty 13 year olds had a wonderful experience and every one of them said it was a terrific party. There were so many funny moments, but the "impromptu face painting opportunity" as well as the after internet pics really did the cherry thing. I would like to thank everyone at Wild Caves for providing such an awesome venue with so much thought behind it.
