Summary:
John our guide was a sponge full of information on pretty much any topic brought up. He’s supportive ,cheers the cavers achievements, makes sure everyone understands & practices safety for both the group & the caves. At 65 & 68 my hubby had no clue what the excursion was about but learned fast. We hiked, repelled , did swan dives in the narrow parts, learned moves our shoulders/rest of our bodies never knew we could do!!!! I’m beyond how much fun & learning this experience was. If I didn’t live in Texas I would be caving every weekend!!! We had both a 14 & 16 yo with us & even they thought it was COOL😎. I’ve done extensive traveling abroad & im pretty sure this is #1 in the top 5 of my travels !! Sign up
& enjoy !!!

Summary:
Great family experience from teens to seniors. The teens rated it 10 for fun and 4 for scary. The hike up is steep. We took it slowly but you will get out of breath. The caving adventure was more challenging for a fit 74 year old than I expected. But I enjoyed the challenge of crawling over and under rocks. You do need some upper body strength to pull yourself up some of the slippery areas. You do get muddy but you start out with a clean set of overalls. A great day with teenage grandkids. John was a great guide and we always felt safe.
