Description

Бонинска Пещера (Boninska Peshtera, Bonin Cave) was once the 8th longest cave in Bulgaria, however, this ranking changes frequently. The cave has two levels, the lower level is a river cave. The Association "Devetaki plateau" offers boat tour into the cave, which are actually quite strenuous cave trekking tours. However, it seems the guides use neoprene suits and swim while the participants take the boat. Nevertheless, the tour requires physical fitness and is strenuous. Equipment and caving gear are provided. The tours are offered only for groups after reservation, and as far as we know were discontinued during the pandemic. When making the reservation you will be given a meeting point. The guides will bring you to the cave which is difficult to find as there is no trail to the cave.
