ABOUT THE WILD TOUR


  • Ages 13 - 17: you can participate if accompanied by an adult 18 or older, and have a parent's or guardian's consent and signature on a Wild Tour Liability Waiver.
  • Please wear sturdy shoes that are comfortable for walking and crawling. No open-toed shoes allowed. You can bring old clothes if you choose: long pants and long-sleeved shirts that may get dirty and/or ripped.* Or, coveralls will be provided for $5 per person.**
  • This is a strenuous activity that involves crawling on your hands, knees, and stomach, sometimes for extended periods. The smallest section is approximately 18 inches square. Not recommended if you are claustrophobic or have problems crawling for an extended period.
  • There must be a minimum of 2 guests on the tour. The maximum number of people allowed on a Wild Tour is 6.
  • All guests will be provided with lighted helmets, gloves, kneepads, and elbow pads free of charge.
  • Cameras are allowed; however, because of the rugged environment, disposable cameras are recommended.
  • Guides provide water; food is not allowed inside the cave.
* We recommend that younger/smaller guests (anyone smaller that an adult size small) bring their own clothes since we have a limited number of coveralls in smaller sizes.

** If you bring your own clothes, you must bring a clean change of clothes up the mountain to put on once the tour is finished. We cannot allow guests to ride the Tram down in dirty clothes because the seats are carpeted and dirt can be transferred to other guests. Lockers are available.
