This is a Bucketlist experience!!!! Hands down! One of the most phenomenal experiences I've had in my life. That's saying something because my whole life I have sought out adventure and new experiences from all over the world. Being an adventurer and thrill seeker I sought out to have a truly unique experience while I am visiting my family in Alabama and I found it!!!! I contacted Wes first before I booked because I was worried about my curves. I'm 230 pounds and top heavy. My biggest worry was getting stuck. I have been turned down for caving before particularly in Belize because I was not the right proportions. He reassured me I would be okay and said he has had a 350 pound man cave with him. So I definitely felt comfortable . You start out meeting him on his private property. You gear up, elbow pads, knee pads, gloves on top of your thick caving clothes and then you are off! You enter his private cave and right away you realize as he looks like a kid who entered a candy store that this is going to be very special. Immediately you are whisked away to look at the cave salamders, the unique formations, the writing on the cave walls, learn about the history, it goes on and on. This cave has waterfalls, creatures, little rivers, amazing tunnels, unique plant life. Wes goes into detail on everything and anything. The gleam in his eyes is infectious and his conversation is interwoven with boyish wonder. Just when you thought it couldn't get any better it does. The true wild adventure starts. You push your body and your fears. You squeeze into small tunnels on your belly, on your hands and knees, feeling an incredible sense of pride and accomplishment and wonder that you did it. He always gives you the option to back out. You don't have to do sections of the wild wild part but I highly suggest you do! I was blown away at all the life that existed there. We saw bats, special crustaceans, cave Salamanders, his resident pack rat, we saw so much. The formations are amazing. The stalactites, stalagmites, cave bacon, etc. So many wonders for the eye to see. Do it, Do it, Do it !!!!!! Thank you Wes for an unforgettable day!

You know, looking back to when I was a teen, I'd been on a few trips but I can't really remember alot of the details because they were great, but basic. This is anything but that and this is definitely an experience my 16 yr old son will not ever forget, and he did it with me, we will have this memory to share together. That's priceless! He didn't know what we were doing until we showed up as I planned it to keep him curious.. Funny thing is I thought I had more of an idea of what we were doing and was blown away by the suprise element of what we really got ourselves into. I was extremely comfortable and trusted Wes the guide from the get go and kinda just went with the flow. We had a small group, my son and I and 1 other guest which made it extra awesome. I felt no pressure to do anything a certain way or do something I didn't want to. I received encouragement but not pressure. There was a moment the 3 others went to a place I didn't want to. I actually got everything I needed out of that moment though because I turned off my headlamp and sat in complete and utter darkness and silence other than hearing water flowing around me. I layed back and just took the time to feel almost blissful. My son went into places I never thought he would. He's never been a risk taker. So to see him go beyond his norm was amazing! We started in a open space and ended in very tight spaces and it was wild! I am so glad I didn't know what to expect because the unknown was more magical, challenging and exciting. You must do this. Don't think about it, just do it! You will not regret it!!!

This is one of those life experiences you won't forget and will probably ruin other cave "tours" for you. This is absolutely not your average cave tour experience. My tour consisted of four people; the guide, a mom and her teenage son, and myself (the guide said the max people is 8). The trip starts with an overview of what you will be experiencing and the gear. There are no lights in the cave, you get headlamps on a helmet as well as elbow and knee pads. It should be noted that from the beginning you are told that there is definitely some places with some tight squeezes, however, they are optional (mostly). That is one of the great parts; you get the choice to opt out of what you aren't comfortable with. The cave starts out pretty standard with spacious rooms and tunnels. The best part is that its pretty laid back and not on a tight schedule, so you can really spend more or less time if you have questions, want to look at something, or want to explore a side tunnel. The guide takes hundreds of pictures and videos for you (which are free to you) so you don't have to worry about having your own camera and it getting wet, broken, or lost. As you progress further into this four hour tour, the tunnels get a bit smaller, but also a lot better - more unique and beautiful. The cool part is that because of the guide and his demeanor throughout the experience, you barely even notice that you are crawling through a space you would have been uncomfortable with an hour before. Without realizing (for the most part), by the end I was comfortably through areas I would not have expected to do prior to the experience. This is definitely a "top 5" experience of a lifetime.
