WOW! The Wild Cave Tour takes one off the traditional tourist concrete pathway into the deep dark cave, where the only light is coming from the light on your headlamp. The Wild Cave Tour is for the adventurer. It is not a difficult tour, but it is more physical than just

walking the touristy concrete pathway from beginning to end. The Wild Cave Tour is about three hours long, and self paced. The guides are supreme professionals and full of details on Blanchard Caverns. I have done the Wild Cave Tour three times. It just never gets old. The guides provide coveralls, gloves, a backpack for water and snacks, and a headlamp. Your bring your own water and your own snacks. Also, you need to bring your own hiking boots that cover your ankles. You will want to bring some tennis shoes to change into at the conclusion of the Wild Cave Tour. Be sure to use the restroom really good BEFORE your start the Wild Cave Tour. There are lots of ups and downs to maneuver, and lots of drop-offs to skirt by. Sounds dangerous, but it's not--not really, as long as you do what the guides say. Plenty of opportunities to see some bats. There is a section called the "Birth Canal". Def do it. It seems impossible to squeeze through, but trust me, it's do-able. It is amazing tour and is a beautiful example of Arkansas' natural beauty. Also, the tour guides are supreme examples of professionalism and friendliness. Don't miss Blanchard Springs if you are in the area.
