A Lake Shasta Caverns tour combines a boat ride across the McCloud Arm, a bus ride up the hillside and a guided walk through limestone caverns. It is a distinctive addition to a Shasta Lake vacation.
What Does the Tour Include?
The operator recommends allowing about two hours for the complete outing, plus time to arrive and check in. Inside the caverns, guides explain formations such as stalactites, stalagmites and flowstone.
Check the official tour information for current schedules and admission details.
Walking, Stairs and Accessibility
The tour involves extensive walking and more than 600 stairs inside the caverns. The cavern route is not wheelchair accessible.
If stairs or walking are a concern, contact the operator before purchasing tickets. Its frequently asked questions describe alternative boat-and-bus options and other important visitor information.
Before You Go
Wear comfortable walking shoes, bring water and follow the operator’s arrival instructions. Check directions from your retreat rather than assuming every home has the same travel time.
