The first 500 meters of the cave have a tubular shape, with the highest point reaching over 80 meters and the widest point spanning around 120 meters. Along the way, you may come across towering stalactites that shimmer like diamonds, as well as stalactite columns that appear pure white like marble.

During the journey, visitors can experience kayaking across a stream, which is the most interesting and attractive point of the journey. The cave ceiling is as flat as if it has been touched by human hands. As visitors approach the stream bank, the ceiling gets lower and they need to bend down to reach the boat dock. While passing through 100 meters on the stream, there are places where visitors have to lie down on the side of the boat to avoid touching the cave ceiling. After leaving the small stream, visitors will have the opportunity to test their courage as they have to overcome steep and dangerous paths along the dry stream bed. There are places where the path is so narrow that only one person can pass through at a time, and on the other side, the stalactites are cylindrical and close together like a maze.
