Hi Friends! We are excited to start featuring more travel beyond Florida! Since Florida is home, we will always feature all of the Florida content you love, but also more travels beyond our beautiful state. What areas would you like us to explore next? Btw, excuse the shaky footage in this video, we just got a new camera, and still learning it. We definitely need a gimbal for it! 😂

My husband & I just did this tour a few weeks ago. It was incredible. I just wanted to let you know-you did an AMAZING job explaining & this was a great video. Thank You!! I’m sharing it with friends, so they can see the tour we did.😊

[@ChrissaTravels]

Aw, thank you so much!! I can't tell you how much I appreciate that!! It was such an incredible tour! Thank you so much for watching and sharing! :)

[@aprilamidon1776]

THANK YOU! Looking for places to explore with our 5 year old son and this looks AWESOME! Hopefully we will visit the caves very soon thanks to you!!

[@ChrissaTravels]

Aww…..thank you for this wonderful comment! I hope you have an incredible time exploring!!

[@Yesquire0]

Just a tip for those of you now thinking of visiting Mammath Caves. High season is during the summer when kids are out of school. Within high season, weekends are the busiest. If you scope out all of the available tours, I think you will figure out on your own that some are better than others, or maybe you'll find one that really interestes you. I'd highly recommend going online and making a reservation for the tour(s) you desire, especially if you are going to be there on a weekend. Another tip is that there is very limited hotel lodging on site. The rooms are a bit on the small side, but just fine when you aren't planning on spending much time in them while you are in the park. The convenience of staying on site outweighs, IMHO, the lack of touristy extras like a workout room and pool. You'll get enough of a workout walking through the caves. Once again, advance reservations are highly recommended. There are also s fair amount of campsites available, both for tents and RVs.

That cave is beautiful and long. Some of those looked like very tight squeezes. So much yet to be discovered underground.

[@ChrissaTravels]

It is an awesome cave. We’ll have to take the kids with us next time!

[@EmmaJonYoureWelcome]

Wow what an amazing adventure! I wouldn’t like to think of crossing the bottomless pit without a bridge. It looked like a really cool place to explore xx

[@ChrissaTravels]

Thank you so much! I agree! Even with the modern bridges, you can see straight to the bottom and I was scared! 😆 It definitely was an awesome adventure, though! I enjoyed every minute of it!

[@RetiredLovingIt]

Great video of the tour! My legs can still feel that walk back up the steps and the hill!

[@RobotMonkeytron]

I went through the extended historical tour recently for the first time in 30 years. I've always been a little afraid of heights, but damn. At Dante's gateway, that's where I found out I'm claustrophobic .Everyone should do this once, but no more caves for me, thanks. The last hour of the tour was a mental endurance test.

[@The_Farwall]

What an incredible place, it's always interested when you go to the less internationally well known visitors spots in the states, so thanks!

[@ChrissaTravels]

It really is an incredible place! I can’t believe how many more miles there are to this cave system. We definitely hope to feature more unique places like this in the future.

[@lashaysmith7783]

I loved this....feels like I'm living life through you because I'm not sure I'll survive going through a cave (and the longest cave at that lol)! You're brave my friend and I'm so happy you're sharing these experiences!

[@ChrissaTravels]

Awww…thank you so much LaShay!! I’m sure you would survive this one! 😁 I was worried about all the stairs coming back up to the surface, but it wasn’t so bad! The hill wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be either!

[@schottschott6825]

I’ve been wanting to visit Mammoth Caves these past months and your presentation is amazing. It’s syncronistic for me because literally I’ve been contemplating the ides to visit Mammoth Caves and Bowling Green. You two make a great tram. I’m excited to watch this video. Wonderful and thank you I’m a artist and have done a wide variety of fun projects. Video and film making has always intrigued me. And I admire your videos. I’m writing from Fargo North Dakota Having lived in Sedona Arizona , Sand Point Idaho and a few other places. Born and raised near Monterey , California. The only place I’ve visited overseas alone was The Phillipines. Staying with a nice family.

[@ChrissaTravels]

I’m so happy you enjoyed it! Thank you so much! I highly recommend making the trip up there when you can. I kind of wish we had more time to do other tours. The cave is incredible and is so much bigger in person!

[@schottschott6825]

@@ChrissaTravels I could really see from your footage how incredible it might be in real life. It looks much more then my imagination could muster up. Thank you for the encouragement. In the past I’ve done some traveling but alone. It is much nicer traveling with someone you have a great rythym with. Mammoth caves I will visit. Looks too amazing not too visit and discover. I could understand why you wanted more time. The variety of cave tours was impressive looking. Wow. The crawling spaces and lamp light tour ? Very interesting Have you two visited Carlsbad Caverns ? I’ve heard good things about those large caves. Personally I’ve visited the Black Hills , South Dakota and enjoyed the candle lit decent into its caves. I’m trying to recall the names. They have several spanning the mountains and I enjoyed the tours As a young person I remember The Moaning Cave in California. Among others. Really fun old mining towns In the moaning Cave there is a spiral stairwell. Which was daunting as a child At the top a employee dropped a soda can and it took some time before it hit the bottom It was called the morning cave because if the wind hit the rocks at the surface at certain angles a sound would be generated that sounded like someone or some thing was moaning. Perhaps lost down in the deep caverns. Is what I recall being told. Very deep and large caverns . My memory is being excercised now. I remember visiting lava tubes both in Oregon near Bend , Oregon and near FlaggStaff , Arizona. The tubes were so smooth inside I wonddred if the h were human constructed as if they were left over from a ancient civilization. I recall the interesting surreal feeling Thank you again for your generosity and sharing of you both fun amazing travels and adventures.

[@schottschott6825]

@@ChrissaTravels Hi Chris’sa this is Chris. My name happens to be Chris also. I was seeing in Texas the caverns of Sonora. That the description was sounding very intriguing and I hadn’t heard of Sonora , Texas before. States unparalleled beauty for caverns ? Hope you and your husband having a wonderful day. Many blessings

[@iamthemagnificentjar]

What a great video. I wish mammoth cave had detailed videos for all of the different tours. Really enjoyed the video.

[@ChrissaTravels]

Thank you so much! I agree! It would be great if they had more videos to at least show the highlights of each tour! I guess we’ll have to go back and do more tours! 😆

[@TomtilLetsplays1987]

Fantastic video Chrissa! Really enjoyed watching it! Looks like a really cool place to visit! Hope you have a great weekend! Keep up the great work! 😀❤️

[@ChrissaTravels]

Thank you so much Tomatil! It’s always great to hear from you! Hope you have an amazing weekend as well!

[@nikkishaaustin1731]

Never know about it thanks for this information your so awesome 👌 ❤

[@miszced]

Certainly interesting. Nothing like one of our off-shore spelunking tours while cruising around Mexico from Fort Lauderdale. We witnessed stalactites and stalagmites from a few hundred yrs(straw like) to thousands & thousands yrs old. A natural dark pool was was available for a refreshing swim with blind fish. Apparently there was no bottom but didn't see any fish, I guess just too dark. Refreshing for sure on a hot humid day. Thanks for the vid & review.

[@ChrissaTravels]

Whoa…that sounds cool! I would love to do that!! There are a ton of different cave systems in Kentucky and Indiana. We will definitely have to check out more the next time we’re up there. My MIL said that there are definitely prettier caves we need to check out. So, if this video does well, we may feature more! Which caves did you go to in Mexico?

[@miszced]

​​@@ChrissaTravels that was awhile back & not sure if I took a picture of the locked entrance. I'll need to check my archives. I do recall the Guide asking our group if we would like to try a small basic caving or spelunking adventure as the regular trip was canceled(short notice). It was 100% show of hands for caving. That was the first time I heard the work " spelunking". Our group thoroughly enjoyed it & I think today this wouldn't be allowed. Today I watch/subscribe to ActionAdventureTwins for the thrills. LOL

[@vs123]

Wow beautiful cave

[@ChrissaTravels]

It really is incredible!

[@socrazy4disney610]

Oh my gosh your tour of the cave was so interesting. I would love to do that You make it look so easy. But I’m sure it’s not. Great job on the informational tour . Thanks again for another fantastic video. Can’t wait for our next adventure thanks for taking us along.

[@ChrissaTravels]

Thank you so much!! I was so excited to do this tour, it was a lot of fun, and not as difficult as I thought it would be. I appreciate you!!

[@KhurshidsChannel]

Nice video. Thank you for sharing. 👍57

[@HinesEdventures]

I see you didn’t tell him about the long ramp up once you get out of the cave. The cave drains you and that long ramp almost breaks you.

[@atuckertucker]

Om gosh.. I have never even heard of this cave.. I’m from Nevada. Ya think they would have maybe mentioned this is school?? Thank you for this video.

[@madmaxinthunderdome]

Should check out Cathedral Cavern in Alabama your pretty close to it

[@miguelgalvez9065]

Awesome

[@ChrissaTravels]

Thank you!

[@vijaya6237]

How long(the duration) it took for this entire tour?

[@ChrissaTravels]

Hi there! The tour is about 2 hours long.

[@greer2402]

Ive been there. Too much rock. If that thing collapse you are dead

[@josephlitteral]

Thanks for showing the beautiful side of our little state and its wonders. The Cumberland Falls has one of only 2 Moonbows on the planet…as well as beautiful bluegrass fields and distilleries. The food isn’t bad either.

[@ChrissaTravels]

Thank you so much! That sounds wonderful! We’ll have to go back and do a whole Kentucky road trip series!
