My son (age 20) and I (male age 52) have done the Wild Cave Tour three times including 2 days in a row on August 19th and 20th of 2009. If you have some adventure in you, this tour is very fun. First off, if you have a fear of heights or are claustrophobic, I wouldn't suggest taking this tour.... more

I needed to write this review after reading all the others a week prior to going, and getting myself all "worked" up that maybe I just was not going to be able to do it mentally and/or physically. In the end, I'd say it was easier (not easy) than what I had put together in my head from reading all... more

Just go!

Our guide was an ex army sarge--a little intimidating at first, I must admit. But, believe me if you have the extreme pleasure and honor of getting him as your guide, you won't be disappointed! The tour was great--we really enjoyed ourselves. more

I participated in the wild cave tour this past Friday. We had a group of 14 and finished with 10. I wasn't sure how difficult it would be, I read the trip reports and most stated that after the first part it was a breeze. In our case this was not true. The first half of the trip was a... more

I went on this tour last Friday with a group that start out as having 14 individuals and ended with 10. This tour is very challenging both mentally and physically. Please take the warning to heart because they aren't exaggerating on Mammoth Cave's website about being in tight crawl areas that are no more than 9 inches tall. I am... more

My friend and I did the Wild Cave Tour on a Monday, so our group was small - only 8 people. Luckily everyone in our group was in decent shape, so we were able to do a lot more than some of the larger groups The tour started out primarily going through some really tight tunnel spaces. I think the... more

If you are looking for an adventure, this is the tour for you. I took this tour with my girlfriend; we are both in our mid-twenties. If you plan on taking this tour make it the only thing you do in that day. I took a three hour nap when I was done and I think that I'm in pretty... more

Went on the Wild Cave Tour this past weekend. Our tour guides were excellent, encouraging and knowledgable. This experience went above and beyond my expectations. During the first hour you crawl and crawl and squeeze through tunnles and tight holes. Most tunnles in the beginning were about 2 feet by a 1 1/2 foot and about 50 feet long. Along... more

This is THE best tour offered at Mammoth Caves. You get to experience sites that today's path tours do not offer and the experience will take your breath away (literally it is physically demanding and figuratively the sights are awesome). You start your tour off in the "Grand Avenue" and here is where the guides really challenge you. You will... more
