Ride A Conveyer Belt Through A Texas Cave For A One-Of-A-Kind Underground Adventure

When you embark on the Hidden Wonders Tour at Natural Bridge Caverns in San Antonio, you get to explore never-before-seen (to the public, anyway) passageways in Texas’ most iconic cave. Not only that, but you also get to ride a conveyer belt back to the surface at the end of the tour! Experience the magic of Natural Bridge Caverns in a whole new way on this Only-in-Texas adventure. I promise it will be the trip of a lifetime.

We all know and love Natural Bridge Caverns in San Antonio. The largest commercial show cave in the entire state of Texas, this underground labyrinth showcases a whole new world hiding right beneath our feet.

A brand new cave tour, the Hidden Wonders Tour, was unveiled at the caverns in May 2023, and it's a huge hit. The tour features chambers and passageways that have never been open to the public - until now.

On the Hidden Wonders Tour, you will jaw-dropped cave formations illuminated by LED lights, walk out onto a bridge over the deepest point in the cave, and learn so much fascinating information from the knowledgeable docents.

There's even a ballroom where - get this - you can host events! It has power, Wi-Fi, and bathrooms, and it's over 100 feet underground.

But perhaps the neatest part of the Hidden Wonders Tour is that you get to ride a conveyer belt back to the surface!

This nifty contraption is a staggering 700 feet long, and it offers a fun and unique experience for all ages.

Of course, Nature Bridge Caverns offers other tours besides the Hidden Wonders, including more technical (and, admittedly, claustrophobia-inducing) expeditions if you're looking for a challenge.
