We are from out of town so I advise that you don’t wear a cute or thigh heavy outfit, maybe some light workout shorts and a T lol. It was so MUCH fun, a lot of paddle splashing and an amazing view of the buildings especially at night! We got see the bats beneath the bridge, and our tour guy was very informative and amazing!!! Can’t wait to come back and do it again!!!

The tour guide was very knowledgeable about the area and has a great personality. Seeing the bats leave this cave was an experience of its own. It was the best tour I’ve had on this trip !!
