WALKING TOUR DETAILS

Explore the one-of-a-kind underground rooms formed over thousands of years by an ancient river. Geologic wonders await!

Private tours are a buyout of a block of 30 tickets, so your group has your own private guide — no walkins or school groups will join you.

  • Private tours require a 30 ticket buyout but your group can be as small as 1.
  • Groups over 30 may be split into sub-groups on-site. 
  • Tours run rain or shine and it’s always 68°F in the cave!
  • You will be walking or standing for approximately 90 minutes.
  • Due to the historic nature of Longhorn Cavern State Park, visitor facilities and cavern walkways are not wheelchair accessible.
  • There are 52 stone steps down to the cavern entrance and back up again.
  • Depending on guest height, ducking may be required at several points on the tour. The two lowest points along the tour route are 4′ 4″ and 4′ 8″.
  • Most tours include a brief lights-out demonstration.
  • Dress comfortably and wear closed-toe shoes with good traction.
  • Cavern temperatures range up to 68° Fahrenheit / 20° Celsius year-round.
  • Buses, vans, and other group transportation must use designated parking and loading/unloading zones. Park staff are there to help.

  • Private tours are a buyout of a full tour of 30 tickets at a discounted rate. If your group exceeds 30 people on the day, the additional group members will need to pay for a ticket and tour at a separate time and are not guaranteed placement.
  • In the event the group tour is at capacity, additional guests who are not part of the confirmed group booking will be offered a place on the next available regular walking tour.

Receive a full refund of the deposit for bookings canceled 14 or more days before the confirmed date.

Cancellations 7 to 13 days before your confirmed date will receive a deposit refund less 20% of the total booking price.
