Plan for about 100 stairs down into the cavern and back up. Some stairs can be slippery due to the wet cave conditions. You also need to crouch through a section where the ceiling is about 4 feet 3 inches high.
Wear comfortable, closed-toe walking shoes with good traction. Expect possible mud or water on your shoes. You can bring a camera.
Arrive 15 minutes before your start time. If you arrive more than 5 minutes past the hour, you may not be able to join that tour.
Cascade Caverns, 226 Cascade Caverns Rd, Boerne, TX 78015
This cave system near Boerne has earned a devoted following, and it's easy to see why. Tours run about an hour and cover around 100 steps, which sounds manageable even for older visitors. One reviewer's 80-year-old uncle handled it just fine. The guides consistently steal the show, with names like Rain, Josslyne, Jocelyn, Cristina, and Nicoli popping up in review after review for being knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely fun to be around. Beyond the standard tour, there's a more adventurous option that takes you deeper underground where you can actually see water flowing into the aquifer and even swim in it. Camping and RV hookups are also available on-site, making this a solid overnight destination for nature lovers. Wildlife sightings, including bats, salamanders, and toads, add a little extra magic to the experience. Tip your guide in cash if you can.
Texas is a bit of a hot place. Finding ways to enjoy it sub-70 degrees is always desired. This cave was cool the walk was not so bad. Like 150 steps? The formations are great. The cost was reasonable and the tour guide Abigail was very friendly and respectful of the place. She knew her stuff. Also the animals. Frogs at the entrance. Bats in the first low chamber (cuties). And then the salamanders which are unique. All very cool. Massive cavern at the end.
