We’ll leave Dan Yr Ogof at 4pm, so we expect to be back in Swansea at around 5pm*

Please note arrival times both to the destination and on return to Swansea are approximate and may be subject to change depending on unforeseen circumstances beyond our control including, but not limited to, diversions due to accidents / road closures, technical and operational issues among others. The driver will do their best to keep you updated. We always recommend carrying a Power Bank with you as we cannot guarantee that coaches will have power supplies for passenger use.

We recommend bringing some small snacks and drinks for the ride – we won’t be stopping during the journey.
