Go Even Deeper - Cave Tours at CaveFest
CaveFest offers a one-of-a-kind experience, combining live music with the natural wonders of The Caverns. Throughout the weekend, guests can explore The Caverns’ vast underground world with a variety of guided cave tours. The popular Big Room Cave Tour takes visitors on a walking journey through the cave’s fascinating geology and lore, suitable for guests of all skill levels. Last year, some tour groups were even treated to surprise performances from CaveFest artists along the way.
For those craving a deeper adventure, two guided caving experiences are available with all gear provided. The Tombstone Pass Adventure Tour leads adventurers beyond the namesake Tombstone Pass, revealing soda straw formations, an underground river, and more. New for 2025, the CaveFest Adventure Tour offers a thrilling introduction to caving—without the tight squeezes of Tombstone Pass—perfect for those ready to get muddy while climbing and crawling through underground passages.
Please note: Guided tours during CaveFest do not include The Caverns underground concert hall due to festival performance schedule.
