About The Tour

Join Shaka Guide as we visit one of the most spellbinding caves on the entire planet. Our driving tour guides you into the park, providing context and history to this stunning subterranean world. You’ll also hear additional stories near the cave entrance and visitor center, to help you make the most of your time in this special national park. Then we take a step aside and invite you to take the national park's audio tour within the cave or to enjoy the cave's wonder in silence.

Carlsbad Caverns National Park FAQS

bulb.gif

This tour does not include narration inside the cave. Entrance to the cave requires a timed entry reservation through the national park. Take the Carlsbad Caverns National Park Tour until you arrive at the cave, then use the National Park's very own audio tour while visiting the cave, and then, once you're done turn the Carlsbad Caverns National Park Tour back on for audio narration as you depart!

This tour has 3 stops. Check out the itinerary here for a complete list of stops and if you’re looking for more information to help plan your trip, here’s What You Need To Know Before You Go!

  • Canteen/refillable water bottle
    • gallon of water per person, per day
  • Cooler
  • Hiking shoes and clothes
  • Sunscreen
  • Hat
  • First Aid Kit
  • Bug spray

$15 entrance fee per person 16 and older. Children 15 and younger are free. Tickets are good for three days.

The tour stops have seasonal hours of operation. The site’s facilities and restaurants also have varying hours of operation.

  • Cavern entrance times are 9:30 am - 2:30 pm, with the last tickets sold at 2:15 pm
  • Visitor Center hours are 9 am - 5 pm.

If you don’t begin at one of the tour starting points you’ll miss a few stories, but you’ll still have a great experience.

Think of us as your personal tour guide in an app. Our tours provide everything a guided tour does, but with the freedom to explore on your terms. Here’s how it works:


  • GPS triggers audio narration to play automatically as you drive or walk. Listen to stories, get local insights, visit must-see stops and get turn-by-turn navigation.
  • The app works offline so even with spotty service we’ll get you where you need to go.

Pretty cool huh? We think so! Check out our tours and let’s explore together.

it's an amazing app. it helped me on my trip so much, it made the drive so much more interesting and gave very useful information. I used it for national parks

You will not be disappointed! This was a delightful way to experience the big island. The app works off GPS so it works and gives directions even when you’re in restricted service areas. Info is accurate and incredibly helpful… turn by turn. We LOVED the Kohala tour (STUNNING VIEWS) and listening to the history behind this beautiful island (and lovely music when Uncle isn’t talking). It made the experience really special. We’ll be using this app for the rest of our time here and can’t wait to explore some National Parks on the mainland with the Shaka Guide. Thanks for a great day!
