This intimate experience allows visitors a rarely seen view deep within Lookout Mountain. Limited sized tours begin with a 260 foot elevator ride into the mountain, upon arrival there will be no staged lighting in the cave. Select members of your group will be equipped with a small hand held electric lantern and the guide will have a fueled inspector’s lantern. As your eyes adjust to the low light you will begin to see remarkable sites, dancing shadows and feel a sense of mystery looking into the darkened path ahead.
The Ruby Falls lantern tour is not only a visually stimulating experience but is also a story telling trip. As mysterious shadows dance on underground walls your guide will share tales of folklore, stories of unexplained phenomena, as well as details on the rich history and geology of the Ruby Falls Cave. The highlight of the tour is at Ruby Falls, as the waterfall is illuminated through the use of a lantern and pulley system. Availability
Tours are scheduled by reservation, but empty slots are available on a first come first serve basis while supplies last at the Ruby Falls ticket desk. Space is limited so advanced bookings are recommended. To schedule your lantern tour call 800-755-7105.
