Best Time to Go
For the best weather, visit in the spring or fall. Here you’ll find comfortable temperatures. The weather in the summer months can be hot and July through September is the rainiest time of year.
The hottest months also see the most visitors. To avoid crowds, April and October have dramatically smaller crowds and more moderate temperatures. Visiting during the week will also help avoid the crowds.
Whatever time of year you visit, the temperature in the caves will be the same.
