  The experience was remarkable. Wes is such an amazing and knowledgeable person. We went harder than we thought we could. Wes was always positive and encouraging. This is an adventure like no other. My son and I will never forget this moment. We spent 4 hrs in the cave, it certainly didn't feel that long. I would highly recommend this for anyone who want to push themselves and have a blast doing it. Great way to make a memory with with family and friends, that will never be forgotten. Again, Wes was the best. Thanks for giving my son and I an experience of a lifetime.

• 5Amazing experience and wonderful guide

  This is not your everyday cave tour. This is a true adventure. We (70 yr old couple) took two granddaughters (10&11) on this trip. Wes was amazing and spend over 4 hours with us on the is tour. We shimmied through tight crevices, trekked across precipices, scooted through flowing streams. We are all under 200lb and there were a few times we had to do contortions to get through. If you have fear of heights, tight spaces, water or dark this might not be for you. But if you would like a real cave in the wild experience this was amazing.

• 5Absolutely amazing experience!

  I booked this as a surprise for my girlfriend, and it was a fantastic experience all around! Wes clearly has so much passion for showing others this wonderful cave that lies in his backyard. I’m thrilled, and honestly surprised, that someone offers an experience like this to the general public. Every other cave tour we’ve been on has been mostly upright and mostly relaxing. This, however, was a genuine challenge, and as someone who normally avoids tight spaces and has read a bit too many underground horror stories, it certainly got me out of my comfort zone. That said, never did we feel forced to do something we weren’t comfortable with, and never did we feel unsafe. Wes was lightly encouraging of us to push ourselves, but he clearly cares about ensuring everyone feels safe. There were several tight tunnels/passageways that I never would have expected myself to willingly try to fit through. But trying and succeeding was a rewarding experience. The group we ended up with was just as adventurous as my girlfriend and I, and it made everything more enjoyable. Wes was even kind enough to take us to a waterfall that he doesn’t normally take groups to - it can add some time to the overall tour, and it involves a somewhat long crawl to get to, but it was so worth it, and we all turned our lights off on the way back to experience 100% darkness. My girlfriend absolutely loved this as her surprise, and we spent the entire drive home talking about how much of an amazing experience it was. Wes documented the entire thing by taking tons of pictures and videos which he shared with us almost immediately. My body’s a bit sore and bruised today, but this experience was so worth it. Some things to know: - Wear clothes you don’t mind getting incredibly dirty, and shoes you don’t care about. Long sleeves and pants are recommended. The water in the cave can be a bit chilly, and you will spend some time on your knees and elbows - Wear shoes with grip. I stupidly wore shoes with no treads. I was slipping, and they started to fall apart - This can be challenging! I’m in my late 20s, but I was tired by the end, and I’m sore the day after - Bring a change of clothes and shoes. Wes has a couple showers on site. He had towels and trash bags for dirty clothes, but I’d bring some just in case

• 1We never went on the...

  We never went on the tour. I did get a refund but it was a birthday surprise for my boyfriend so it really messed things up. I’m sure the tour itself would have been fun but again we didn’t get to experience it. I wouldn't suggest booking on important dates

• 5Awesome spelunking tour

  We had an amazing time hanging out with Wes. He’s very knowledgeable about the cave and its history. I was blown away at how he’s helping preserve and restore the cave. We had a little bit of everything to see in the cave, from fossils, geological formations, waterfalls, river, and of course fun tight spaces to test your limits. Wes knows the cave inside and out and we never felt unsafe. Our group had a child and his mom, and some new spelunkers. Everyone was able to make it through and we all had a great time. 100% recommend and very much want to do this again in the future.

  Fantastic experience! Honestly a once in a lifetime chance to experience serious wild caving. Sims was fantastic and kept us all safe and fabulously entertained.

About Birmingham

Birmingham, Alabama, grew up on iron and steel and is now known for its civil rights sites, a giant cast-iron statue and a strong food scene.

Birmingham sits in a valley at the southern end of the Appalachians, where coal, iron ore and limestone lay close together, and was founded in 1871 as a railroad and steel town, named after the English industrial city. Vulcan, a 56-foot cast-iron statue of the Roman god of the forge, stands on Red Mountain above the city, and Sloss Furnaces, a preserved blast-furnace works, is a National Historic Landmark.
