Short 5-10 min walk to the Piripiri cave. Great walk to add in if you're doing the Marokopa Falls and Mangapohue Natural Bridge Walks as well. They are all along the same road. Take a torch with you.

Nice little walk up to an interesting limestone cave. The walk is very short, about 5 minutes to the cave. A torch (phone torch was fine) would be a good idea as it gets very dark as you walk down...

Loved it. Not a long hike from the car park. The hiking track is not steep but just stairs going up and down but not for long. The walk is like 10 minutes each way. The track can be muddy but when we did it, the path was fine. Make sure you take a torch. We did not, but after a while in the dark, our eyes got used to it. Inside the cave, you will discover stairs and a viewing platform is built in. Sadly, wheelchair access is possible. You do not have to pay to visit Piripiri cave. You can do this cave in 30 minutes and go and see other attractions. There is lots to see ...

This is a great little cave that you can walk to on your own. It’s just a short walk from the car park. It’s a pretty big cave, but not too deep (you can see the entrance once you e descended all of the steps). It was completely empty when we visited on a Monday afternoon in late spring.

Was there last Sunday, missed the rain and even got a tan haha. Great coffee, food and service. Beautiful location and presentation.

Take the time to stop off and take the short walk out to this interesting cave with its many stalagtites and stalagmites. There is a walkway with stairs that goes down into the cave to make access easy and safe. Make sure that you have a flashlight or other light source, as it is very dark inside. Put it on your list of “to do’s” when you are in the area! It is a beautiful natural formation and should not be missed

An excellent little walk just past the natural Bridge. Great for all ages as the walk is so short the cave is open 24 hours. The scenery is worth the drive.
