i. Walking Cave Tour

This walking tour departs throughout the day and runs about 40 minutes. It’s appropriate for most people and is a great way to explore the caverns in a fairly easy manner (no crawling and large wide-open rooms).

ii. Wild Tour

This 2 hour guided tour will have you crawling on hands and knees in deep, dark caverns. This tour is perfect for thrill-seekers. The smallest section is roughly 18 inches square. Bring old clothes if going on this one.
