Natural Bridge Caverns
26495 Natural Bridge Caverns Rd.
Natural Bridge Caverns, TX 78266
(210)651-6101
www.naturalbridgecaverns.com
Hours: Daily 9am - 4pm
Memorial Day - Labor Day
9am-7pm
Adventure Tour:
This tour offers a physically demanding and thrilling excursion into one of the world's premier caverns. Away from commercial lights and trails, you'll experience what it's like to explore the unknown - just like the discoverers of Natural Bridge Caverns. Be prepared to climb, crawl, and rappel through undeveloped rooms and passages.
On the Adventure Tour you will be outfitted with caving gear and have the option to be lowered into the entry room by rope through a 160-foot well shaft or use the walk-in tunnel. You'll travel approximately 1 mile, going down to 230 feet below surface to the Fault Room, which has one of the longest soda straw formations in North America - 14' in length.
The physical difficulty is moderate to hard, so guests should be physically fit (height/weight limitations may apply). Advanced reservations are required for this tour and a cancellation fee may apply.
North Cavern Tour:
Take the North Cavern Tour and see what millions of others have seen - an incredible world of natural beauty. This 75-minute tour travels through a half-mile of the largest and most spectacular show cavern in Texas.
The main rooms you'll pass through on this tour include The Bear Pit, Pluto's Anteroom, Sherwood Forest, Purgatory Creek, Castle of the White Giants, and the Hall of the Mountain King. Along the way you'll be surrounded by ancient formations (most still growing) like stalagmites, stalactites, flowstones, chandeliers, and soda straws.
Natural Bridge Mining Company: Texas Largest Sluice
This is Texas' Largest Sluice - and it's a fun and educational experience for the whole family!
A sluice is a series of troughs leading from a water-filled wooden tower. As the water runs through the troughs, bags of mining "rough" are emptied and sifted through screen trays - revealing precious gems, colorful minerals or ancient fossils. It's like panning for gold - and you get to pocket whatever you find!
Jeremy Room Flashlight Tour:
Even if you've been to Natural Bridge Caverns before, chances are you haven't seen this!
The Jaremy Room is a stunning 120' deep chamber. Discovered in 1967 while drilling exploratory shafts, this room was not open to the public until July of 2002. Flashlights are given to the guests and tours are kept small.
Known for its long soda straws and delicate formations, the Jaremy Room is one of our most highly decorated rooms.
WatchTower Challenge:
This exciting new attraction is one of the largest public outdoor climbing tower and zip lines in Texas.
Named in honor of The Watchtower formation in the North Cavern, this attraction stands 40' tall. It features two climbing surfaces with multiple routes, offering a variety of challenges for
beginners and experts alike.
At the top, overlooking the rolling Texas Hill Country landscape, there are two 350' zip lines that allow guests to ride from the top of the structure to the ground in seconds.
