Experience the underground world of caves and caverns on a guided tour.  View first hand the unique formations and historical remains found in the park caves.  Tours vary in length and difficulty.  Two tours are offered.  The Natural Tunnel Caverns Tour is introductory in nature and provides guests with an easy minimal effort tour.  The Bolling Cave Tour is an extended tour that allows guests to see evidence of earlier cave explorers and inhabitants.  This tour involves more effort and ability due to the crawls and small passages found within the cave.
Participants are provided hard hats, knee pads, lights, gloves, and instruction by a trained guide.  It is recommended that participants wear old clothing and shoes, and plan on getting wet and dirty.  Cave tours originate in the Visitor's Center parking lot and transportation to the cave is provided.

Trips are limited to 12 guests and the age limit is children 8 and above

Special Note: As a result of White Nose Syndrome being found in Virginia bats, Wild Cave Trips will not be offered for the 2009 summer season at Natural Tunnel State Park for purposes of protection of the bats. Further Information on White Nose Syndrome can be found here.
