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

I took this tour June 25, 2008. Easily one of the best experiences of my life. The guides were experienced, professional, helpful and funny. They are very serious about the footwear they request, they WILL check your shoes and they WILL not take you on the tour if you don't have the right footwear. (over the ankle, leather, lace-up, and... more

Did the Wild Cave Tour over Memorial Day Weekend -- and loved it! My husband (31) and myself (30) are both thin, very physically active people (workout almost every day) and while this was challenging, it was not the hardest thing ever -- it was demanding but very doable (and enjoyable!). It was great going to parts of the cave... more

I took the tour in May of 2008. We were told that no one with a rib cage circumference greater than 42 inches should try. My rib cage is 42 inches. I had no problem with belly-crawling through the pipes and rat holes, but the squeezes were frightening. My rib cage would not fit through without releasing all my air,... more

My husband (47), son (23), and I (47) went on the wild cave tour in October of 2006. This was absolutely the most physically difficult thing I have ever done (and I am not excluding giving birth)! I stopped at the halfway point even though my husband and son (who completed the journey) said that I made it through the... more

Book this tour early, there are only 14 available spots. We had Joel and Kevin as our guides and they were fantastic! Dont worry about fashion..you're going to get dirty! I would recommend getting your own kneepads, as well as elbow pads. They do have kneepads available, but they are very thin neoprene material. We got ours from Lowe's and... more

I just did the Wild Cave Tour last weekend. My mother who is 57 and in excellent shape went with me on my request for my 30th birthday. She is currently in the hospital suffering from an injury she experienced from a major fall while on the tour. I am writing this not to talk badly about the tour or... more
