Discover Our Brand-New Bristol Caverns Tours

The Gigantis Tour

Ready to push your limits? The Gigantis Tour is a 2.5 to 3-hour journey deep into some of the largest chambers—and the narrowest squeezes—in the entire cave system. This trek isn’t for the faint of heart, but those who make it to the end are rewarded with the unforgettable sight of Gigantis—a towering, 90-foot cave column that has to be seen to be believed. It’s an awe-inspiring experience for anyone seeking adventure (and a bit of bragging rights!).

The Riverwalk Tour

If you’re new to spelunking or looking for a more relaxed way to explore, the Riverwalk Tour is the perfect starting point. This guided walk takes you through broad, natural tunnels and gently flowing, ankle-deep streams. It’s peaceful, refreshing, and a wonderful introduction to the magical world beneath Bristol. Perfect for families and first-timers!

The Riverwalk Tour

Craving more excitement? The River Challenge Tour will have you trekking downstream through tighter passageways, marveling at massive underground formations, and climbing up to “The Loft”—a natural stone balcony with spectacular, otherworldly views. It’s the ideal choice for those ready to add a dash of adrenaline to their day.

The Lights Out Tour

Ever wondered what it was like for the earliest explorers to navigate Bristol Caverns by lantern or flashlight? The Lights Out Tour gives guests of all ages the chance to explore the cave in near darkness, armed only with a flashlight. Walk paved sidewalks and stairs with your guide, experiencing the cavern as it once was—before the bright lights and modern pathways. It’s both fun and just a little bit spooky!
