We have hiked all over the US but never underground. Sloan and Peter were great guides for this 3+ hour trip. Squeezed/crawled thru tiny passages, slid down mud hills and climbed up thru tunnels all in the dark, only light came from headlamps and a flashlight. You should be in decent shape for this trip! We did the cave and... More

Thanks so much to the folks at River and Earth Adventures. Our caving guide - Brody - was the perfect host for our family of four trip. We "lucked" into cold and messy weather for our vacation to Boone, NC at the end of March, so caving worked out rather nicely since we were immune to the weather outdoor (cave... More

We went on a cave trip to Whorley's cave in TN. It was great! Something both beginners and experienced cavers could have fun doing. There was four in my group and we were paired up with another couple. We did get very muddy and wet and I ripped my pants but it was all worth it. Wear rubber boots if... More

My friends and I recently went on a caving trip to Whorley's Cave and it was so great! We did the half day trip which was perfect. It was not too strenuous, but you definitely get dirty. Our guide Brody was great, we had a lot of fun with him. I would definitely recommend River and Earth!

We had such a great time - the caves were awesome, the guides were fun, knowledgeable, playful, helpful. Our daughter (9) did great on the trip, but she's fairly adventurous. Don't do it if you worry about getting muddy!

We went on the cave trip. It was more intense than we had expected, but it a great trip. The guides were great; very informative and helpful. I would definitely recommend to those seeking an adventure. You will get very muddy and wet. Also expect some bumps and bruises. We packed extra clothes in plastic bags. There are no changing...

We had a group of 12, ages 5-55 and we had a blast on the French Broad River rafting trip with River and Earth Adventures. Most of us had never done this before so we were a little nervous about it. The guides we so nice and friendly. They went out of their way to make sure everything was safe... More

My husband and I did the raft/cave combo and my husband thoroughly enjoyed himself. However, I feel that there should be a disclaimer on this trip stating that if you are out of shape, elderly, pregnant, or have pretty much any medical condition you probably should not do this cave. It is INTENSE. It was so slick and everyone was... More

Thank you for your feed back on your cave trip with REA. You are correct this trip is challenging however we do try to cater to beginner intermediate participants. We will try to be more informative on describing the details of the trip. Your review is important and I am sure it will help folks prepare for the trip. More
