Experience the natural splendors of the Danube-Ipoly National Park, and climb and crawl your way through Hungary’s longest cave system on a half-day caving expedition. No prior experience of caving is needed to get the most out of this adventure.
Famous for its hot springs, Budapest is visited by many people who want to experience the thermal baths. But only a few know that the hot water rushing up from deep underground created something even more extraordinary. In the limestone mountains under Budapest, the heated water formed a huge cave system that is thought to be more than 200 kilometers long.

The longest cave of Budapest is the 32 kilometers long Pál-völgyi-Mátyás-hegyi cave system in the Duna-Ipoly National Park. It’s a multi-level labyrinth system where most of the chambers lie under the residential districts of Budapest.

The scheduled cave tours are guided by qualified caving guides. During the adventure, you will climb on walls and crawl through narrow passages. Marvel at the natural parts of the cave under the supervision of a professional caving guide (all guides are qualified members of the Hungarian Caving Association).

Enjoy the perfect activity for groups, families, or solo travelers looking to make some new friends. Bond through an interactive adventure, where cooperation can definitely make your way easier.

Highlight of our holiday in Budapest!!!! This was something we promised each other we would never do as it scared us… however towards the end of our week in Budapest we finally caved and booked this activity, not really looking too much into it. Our tour lady was great (THANKYOU!) and we were only a small group - 8 people total. She was very informative about the cave itself and we all had a good laugh. This definitely put our fears of small spaces to the test. Only advice would be to wear shoes you don’t car too much about as they do get dirty. Definitely something to do if you fancy a challenge and are adventurous. We did feel abit bruised and achy the next day for sure.

I loved the whole experience. Something out of the box and something that isn't super touristy. Amazing time with the group I was with and especially the guide. He was absolutely brilliant. I would recommend this to anyone who isn't claustrophobic.

Our guide Laszlo was absolutely amazing! The tour itself was very interesting and worth it but having him as a guide made it extra special. He is very knowledgeable and passionate about caves. He answered all of our questions, made the effort to memorize our names and shared so much about Hungarian culture with us. His sense of humor really made the experience unforgettable. I would go back a million times with him.

It was unique experience. You slide through narrow holes and passage ways. Wouldn't recommend if you are afraid of small spaces. Guide-Melinda was very informative and helpful. We had an unforgettable experience.
