A: Walking Tours
Cameras are welcome at all of our locations. In fact, if you get some really good photos, we'd like to see them, and may feature them on our website! Just e-mail them in JPEG format to lisa@caverntours.com. Don't forget to include your name(s), and some comments on your visit. Flashes are necessary for good pictures.

Rappel
Cameras are not allowed while rappelling - no exceptions. Rappellers who wish to take a camera in the cave may ask a cavern naturalist to take it down for them and they can then use it once they are off the ropes.

Wild Expeditions - The Mammoth Cave & Middle Earth Expeditions at California Cavern, and the Adventure Trips at both Gold Cliff Mine and Moaning Cavern -
Cameras are discouraged. It is difficult enough to maneuver without having to constantly deal with a carrying a camera. If you feel that you would like to bring one anyway, a disposable flash camera is recommended. The guide will make the final decision as to whether a camera will be permitted or not.
