TL;DR
Plan 4–5 hours at Marble Mountains, arrive before 8am, wear sneakers and comfortable clothes — caves are hot and stuffy, and the climb is physically demanding.
Arrive on a weekday by 8am — by 9am the main cave fills up with tour groups. The summit is exposed to intense sun, so bring a fan or hat. Small caves are extremely stuffy, while the large main cave is more comfortable.
Sneakers are essential — sandals won't cut it for exploring all the caves and paths. The difficulty is moderate; even those not used to hiking can manage everything at a slow pace.
Don't arrive after 4pm expecting to see everything — you'll run out of time. Budget 4–5 hours to explore the caves and peaks at a relaxed pace.
Dress for a workout, not a stroll — dresses and flip-flops are a bad idea. Caves have less oxygen and can be hotter than outside, so light athletic clothing is a must.
