Each tour of the Howe Caverns begins with a 156-foot descent down below the surface of the earth, followed by a journey that takes visitors under huge boulders, through cavernous galleries, and through the limestone corridors until they reach the subterranean riverbed, which was carved over a course of countless millennia. The Traditional Tour of Howe Caverns is a ninety-minute walking tour, along with a boat ride. An experienced guide leads guests from Lester Howe’s study above ground, underground, and through the The Giant Formation, Titan’s Temple, and more as they learn about how the cave system was discovered.
