Living in Indiana, we explored my caves when I was young, and if you're in Alabama you can do the same on a True Adventure Sports Wild Cave Tour. These tours take you beyond an ordinary day of recreation and into a world few discover. Getting into the caves can be a adventure as well because there are times when you need to crawl on your knees and stomach through mud and sometimes tight tunnels. This is part of the adventure though.
After gearing up with your helmet and cave lamp,
the True Adventure Sports Wild Cave Tour guides take you on a about a
two and a half hour adventure through Manitou Cave, in the heart of Fort
Payne. If you're looking for a bit more of a challenge then try their
Extreme Wild Cave Tour, which is extended to three and a half hours. On
this trip you get to rappel into a dark tunnel for an amazing adventure.
True Adventure Sports also offers overnight stays in Manitou Cave that
includes a tour. A longer tour is also available for those who wants to
explore the deeper regions of Manitou Cave. While climbing around in a
cave is a unique adventure, there are many caves around across the
nation that are off limits in order to protect the endangered species
that live within them, which include rare bats. When planning a caving
or spelunking trip be sure to check with local officials or your area
guides for those caves that allow exploration.
The fun does not stop with caving at True Adventure Sports, which also offers, Rock Climbing, Zip Lines, Hiking Trips, Treasure Hunts, Rappelling, Canoeing, Kayaking, Camping, and Backpacking. True Adventure Sports host Guided Trips, and Survival Classes that help you gain important skills to survive almost any adventure you take on.
