Learn how water transforms rock on a guided boat tour of Lost River Cave.
Students will walk down to the cave with a tour guide, learn about how the valley was formed, visit Blue Hole #4, and then get into a boat to enter the cave itself.
This is our most requested experience. All other programs build on the boat tour.
