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

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

My husband and I did the wild cave tour (Mammoth Cave National Park) on July 14, 2007. Advance reservation is recommended as they accept 14 people a day for the tour. I would also recommend wearing elbow pads (knee pads and gloves are absolutely necessary), long sleeve shirts, long pants. Don't wear nice clothing - they may tear and stain.... more

This was one of the hardest physical challenges I have ever done in my life. It was also one of the most rewarding. When I signed up for the tour I wasn't sure I would be able to do it. When I finally crawled out of the last hole onto the main trail and the other tourists taking the easier... more
