The tour is not recommended for those with mobility and/or respiratory issues. This is because of the typical slippery surfaces and tight spaces you see in most caves. We also have a section of the tour that involves 50 stairs that go down a narrow pathway which can be difficult for some to walk down. For your safety and those around you, all guests must be able to follow the tour guide’s instructions and must be respectful to those around them.
Guests must remain on the tour path at all times and we ask that you do not touch any formations inside the cave. The cave can be wet, have puddles, is 58 degrees all year long, and will generally be a little dirty, so please dress accordingly.
