You'll also see a fully restored bar from the 1930s, an impressive 60 feet in length.
Though the tour caters to all ages, it's recommended for participants aged 5 and up, who may appreciate the historical context and excitement without growing restless. Be prepared for a mixture of history and mystery as you navigate through these unique caves.

It was an incredible experience that I highly endorse. Although the tour lasts just one hour, it felt much longer, and I enjoyed every moment of it. Learning about the caves and their history was really entertaining. My tour guide, Ryan, was fantastic—he was very funny and engaged with everyone, making sure the whole group had a good time. Even as a solo traveler, I felt at ease with the group. It was absolutely worth it! I plan to explore their other tours in the future.
