BWW - Cave Exploring at Whirlpool Caverns

  • Black Women Who Austin, Texas United States (map)

Whirlpool Caverns was our first caving experience, and we're excited to return!

Come and join us for an exciting adventure! We invite you to explore a crawly cave, where you will challenge yourself to do the army crawl through most of the tour. This cave is perfect for those who have never caved before and great for beginner cavers. You will get dusty, sweaty, and dirty, but the experience will be worth it. You will witness the largest room of any cave in Travis County and some of the oldest rock formations, crystals, flowstone, and cave bacon. Don't miss this opportunity to explore the fascinating cave and have an unforgettable adventure.
