Would larger people (tall and wider)have problems getting through the cave?

I think the most difficult part is the walk to the top/cave entrance. We were in full sun and it was a punishing walk for those with lower physical fitness. If you make it up the hill, you can do the rest.

Tall requires bending over and walking in some places. One area is easier if you use your hand and knees to get through. There is no handrail in couple of places. Wide could be a problem. But all in all if you are mobile and can bend over and walk you will be able to get through. Oh yeah, lots of steps up and down. But I did it without any problem and I'm 70 years young and 6 feet tall.

That would obviously depend on how tall or wide. That being said, there were several larger people in our group and they made it through just fine. The groups move through fairly slow and even stop to let people catch up.

It may be a little bit more difficult but if you're in good shape you will be able to make it! It's worth a try!!

if your not I great shape the walk up to the cave can be a little bit of a change. they give you have an hour to make it but it is up hl and can be pretty hot. the coolness of the cave will be a welcome relief. my wife kids and I are all over 6 foot while you will have to duck some the cave itself is very doable. it's just the damn walk up that really sucks.

This year the cave is very wet. Taller and wider people can make it through fine if you have some level of physical fitness. Be aware that if you choose to crawl or scoot on your bum you will get wet.

I am very small making it a piece of cake, but there were several tall young men on our tour as well as a couple of larger people and everyone made it fine. It is more about mobility than size. If it is hard for you to walk, you won't make it. If walking is not a problem, you should be fine.

Some spots can be slippery. Amazing tour.

Height wasnt to bad... a bit of crouching as you walk through some areas and theres a mini slide with a speed bump even.... as said previously... we had larger people in our group and they made it through just fine.

There are two toirs available. The shorter one is half mile walk on nice gravel path and easy to get through no matter size.
