Overnight stays take place at The Garden, a serene space located halfway up the mountain, accessible via the main trail. We provide a tent, sleeping bag, sheet, pillow, pillow case and sleeping pad.

The hike to Diamante Falls is broken up differently depending on the tour package you select. Diamante garden, which marks the end of the intense uphill section to the cavern, takes approximately one and a half hours to get to, in distance, 1 mile. The entire Diamante hike, roundtrip, is approximately 4 miles.

If you are booking in high season, the earlier the better. A few weeks in advance will probably guarantee your spot, or at least give you time to switch to a different day if the day you selected first is already booked. We ask that you book no later than 2 days in advance.

Yes, we accept Visa, Mastercard and American Express

Children are considered on a case-by-case basis, with emphasis placed on the estimation of the parent. Rappelling options are restricted by the ability of the child (or adult) to fit a harness. Generally, children less than 6 years old are too small. 

Liquor, tobacco, and recreational drugs are not permitted at our facilities.

We recommend closed hiking shoes for hiking, preferably shoes that have been “worn in” a bit. For rappelling we recommend something with good traction that can get wet, such as sandals or aqua-socks. Sandals must be secured at the heel. For overnight trips bring also some comfortable shoes such as flip-flops for use in the cave.
