My family wasn't excited to visit the mine at first, but once we were there everyone thought it was cool. Levi gave a great tour filled with interesting information. It was really fun to take the short boat ride on the lake inside the mine. This was a really fun stop. We loved it!

Hey we loved the mine tours! Me and my family of five boys got a private tour (because we went early in the morning) our tour guide Levi was a great tour guide and had my family laughing all the way, he also had extensive knowledge about the place! Super cool place to go to that you would have No idea would be there! So big and expansive well lit also! We even got to see the one of only two fishes in the entire underground river. We coupled this experience with elephant rock park which was about 30 min away made for a pretty fun weekend. Thanks again Levi, the boys thought you were pretty cool thanks for making learning fun!

Unique informational tour of the mine provided by Levi. Like another reviewer we arrived at 9:00 for the 9:30 tour and the building was locked. The gate was open and after a few minutes, the employee emerged from opening up the mine and other buildings. We enjoyed the walking tour and short boat ride to see the clear deep waters in the mine. Hopefully we will return at some point to scuba dive the mine

I was initially frustrated because we drove from quite a distance and arrived 30 minutes early as the website states, only to find that the doors were locked and no staff present. Once staff arrived, tickets sold out. (I would suggest selling tickets online so that folks traveling on a time schedule can plan accordingly.) Fortunately another family from a shorter distance let us have their spot. After that initial frustration however, Levi was a fantastic tour guide. Our group included an individual with a disability (stroke, left sided hemiparesis) and Levi properly described the steps and the terrain in advance so we could determine feasibility (65 steps, and an inclined pathway) and he was very patient with us lagging behind, coming back to check on us and repeating the details of each feature along the tour as he realized we hadn’t heard him the first time due to lagging behind. Levi gave a detailed history and was knowledgeable in answering questions. The clarity of the water is like nothing I have seen anywhere else. This is a truly unique experience. I hope to return one day to dive this unique location.

We did the tour of the mine which was very interesting. Amazing how huge the area down there is, and with the lake, how clear the water is. A short boat ride on the lake and nice walking tour with good information about the mine's history.

The water was incredibly clear and swirling over the other caverns and looking down into infinity was breathtaking.
