Tour Forbidden Caverns to see natural chimneys, rock towers, rare onyx dripstones, and grottos. A Native American princess once took refuge in the cave, which was used by local tribes as a shelter in the winter months because of its underground water source. This water source also made the cave an ideal spot for making moonshine illegally until the 1960s. On your tour, a knowledgeable spelunker will introduce you to the site's natural wonders. Bring a light sweater, as the cave's temperature stays cool all year long.

This is a small, privately owned cavern, but it is beautiful! Because of where it's located, it floods often, so check the website or call before driving there. Trust me, I speak from experience! But.... more

Great tour and experience! Fun tourist spot to check out and not too far from Pigeon Forge. The road is a bit tight and windy, we had a camper because we were leaving town so that was a bit challenging. The tour guide was very kind and educational and cavern's a unique experience. I couldn't believe how far down we traveled, the average tour takes about an hour to complete.You will walk the full thing, there are a few low spots and tight areas which the guide points out and the path is clear and easy to navigate. Our pictures turned out great when we were down there! I recommend wearing a sweatshirt/jacket and tennis/closed toe shoes. Price was $20pp. I didn't think it was bad, and it helps to support the caverns and small town business.

So fun! This was my first time taking a cavern tour or really exploring caves in any way so not much to compare it to but I had a great experience. The tour guide was very knowledgeable about the different formations and history of the caverns with the moonshiners and Native Americans. The underground river is amazing and some of the formations are really breathtaking! They also have a generous military discount which is always appreciated. Would recommend this to anybody visiting on vacation!
