ABOUT THE
Spelunker Tour
Head Northeast to experience the region’s most elaborate caves – the Bristol and Appalachian Caverns. There you’ll discover a majestic underground river as you learn of the rich history of these caverns. Once a Native American escape route, then a Civil War refuge, the caverns have an array of stories to tell. On this ride, you’ll have the opportunity to see these unique caves and explore an underground labyrinth more than one million years old.
