Step Into The Wild
Delve off the beaten track with our experienced and qualified Cave Leader to explore “wild caving” in the depths of the Marble Arch Caves system. Your group of ten will explore wild cave passages, negotiate boulder chambers and clamber through the well-known flyover to emerge into the public tour area of the show cave before navigating your way out through the wild chambers.
If you have previously visited the Marble Arch Caves for a guided cave tour and wondered what lays beyond the show cave then this event is the perfect opportunity to get a real feel for the expanse of the cave system.
