Cave Life

Bluespring Caverns is a natural wonder. Our hour-long boat tour allows you to explore and experience the majestic underground. Passages and water-courses are illuminated by the pocket of light that follows your tour boat through darkness.

Glimpse elusive cave creatures.

  • Rare, blind cavefish
  • Blind crayfish in constant search for food
  • Spotted red-orange salamanders
  • Solitary bats hanging on a high ceilings

Wet Periods

Visit during a wet period, and you will hear and see the power of the underground river; though many of its creatures will have retreated to quieter areas.

Since Bluespring Caverns contains a natural underground river, tours may occasionally not be possible due to area floods. Please call us prior to your visit during exceptionally wet weather periods. 812-279-9471
