Car
If you're driving from the center of Shephelah, head southwest on Route 38. Continue on Route 38 for approximately 15 kilometers until you reach the intersection with Route 31. Turn left onto Route 31 and follow it for about 5 kilometers. Look for signs for HaShuk Cave. You may need to park in a designated parking area nearby, as the cave itself is not accessible by car.
Public Transportation
From the main bus station in Shephelah, take bus line 415 towards Kiryat Gat. This bus will take you close to the intersection of Route 31. Get off at the stop nearest to Route 31, and from there, you will need to walk approximately 2 kilometers to reach HaShuk Cave.
