We couldn't do the cave boat tour due to high water the day we went but we were able to walk down to The Hole and see the entrance to the cave. It was gorgeous and really made me want to do the actual tour another day. If we are ever in the area again we will definitely do it....

We had been here before and weren't able to do the river tour. We had to come back and I felrt it was worth the trip. The cave tour is relatively short, about 20 to 30 mintes I think....The cave isn't as big or breathtaking as other caves in the area but since you are on a boat, it's different...

The money you pay for "boat ride" is not worth it--ride was a joke--would not even try again as don't want to waste the money

I want to thank you for taking the time to share your views. Due to the natural environment and unalterable properties of Lost River Cave's passageways our boat tour is a unique experience. Caves with walking tours are not subject to the same conditions as river caves, like ours. We offer the rarity of floating within the natural beauty of...

The tour was closed due to flooding, but we still walked down to the cave to peak inside. My suggestion if you can't spend a lot of money is to just walk around and look at it from outside.

The Lost River Cave boat tour was great fun. The cave is just amazing, and the history of the area was pretty awesome too. I wasn't able to get to the butterfly garden, so I will have to go back to see that.

This place was very clean, informative and fun. We had a great time exploring the area while we waited for our cave tour. It is a beautiful place. They also do a "Junior Ranger" program for free if you ask at the gift shop, it was really nice for my daughter (9). The cave tour was educational and fun, we...

We enjoyed learning about the history of this cave, from outlaw hideout, to soldiers' camp, to night club, to landfill, to tourist attraction. We were pleasantly surprised by the open ballroom and elegant chandelier. The cave boat ride was short but sweet. We felt the unique experience was worth our time. Be sure to get your coups from a brochure...

My family loves caves. This one was special because of the short boat ride. We enjoyed learning about the history of the cave and walking on the nature trail.

Our guide seemed very rushed. Often talked down too people. The boat ride was quick (probably less than a hundred yards).Do yourself (and family) a favor, save your time for other attractions in the area.

We stopped by only to find out that all tours were cancelled due to flooding, and would be cancelled for the next few days.
This is understandable, but the website should mention it. Seems like they purposefully omit this useful information - drives you through the gift shop to ask.
We walked down to the entrance, it's neat to look...
