Wild Cave Expeditions

Gear up, get muddy, and go deeper into the cave on a guided underground adventure
built for guests who want something more physical, immersive, and unforgettable.

Wild Cave Expeditions

Wild Cave Expeditions take you beyond the walking tour and into the undeveloped parts of the cave system. These are active, hands-on experiences where guests crawl, climb, slide, and squeeze through deeper chambers and corridors with the guidance of an experienced team.

Gloves, pads, lights, and helmets are provided. All guests should be comfortable with physical exertion and should review age, height, and weight requirements carefully before booking.

Canyon Crawl

Canyon Crawl is the ideal entry point for adventurous guests who want to go beyond a standard cave tour.

Waterfall Dome

3.5 hours | $125 per person
Max 8 guests | Minimum age 12
Minimum height 64 inches | Maximum weight 275 lbs
