Classic Cave Tour at Colossal Cave
rhodaf814, Sep 2026
A fun adventure.
After living in Tucson only 5 miles from this attraction for 9 years, moving away and moving back recently, we finally took the plunge and did the tour. It’s expensive but everything is these days and we have to pick and choose. Worth it! Our guide, Noah, was very knowledgeable, reassuring (it’s a deep cave!) and especially funny. (Though, Noah, I have an issue with calling what the bats could do to us as “going to the bathroom”. Defecating or excreting works.) There is a pervasive musky guano smell but it wasn’t strong and I didn’t mind it. So yes, guano happens, though we only saw 2 bats flying briefly and no “wetness from above”.There are lots of native stone stairs built by the CCC in 1934. No OSHA then so wear sturdy shoes and hold the hand rails. The lighting is better than expected. Overall, mildly challenging physically for this mostly healthy senior.The “stalacmeet” columns made up of stalactites and stalagmites meeting is so interesting. You also get to make different tones on some columns of the calcium carbonate with your fist for one and a small tool for others. Fun.The history includes cowboy train robbers hiding with their loot in it and the man who founded it moving his family down into the cave along with furniture and necessities for the torrid Sonoran Desert summers. It gets busiest in fall to spring when the snow birds come. Since we live here we took advantage of the lull in early September. From buying tickets on-line to completing the tour, perfectly stream-lined. Nice gift shop is the original stone house too.

We had a great time...
We had a great time getting away from a crazy work week in the area. This was an easy way to see some of the best parts of the area and not spend all of our money. We enjoyed every part and would recommend it highly to anyone in the area. The tour functioned well and didn't have any issues with audio or timing as we were driving. Great experience!

Fun Trail ride
Really enjoyed the 90 minute horse ride. Well behaved horses, beautiful scenery and a bit of wildlife that added a little extra interest along with beautiful flowers blooming out of cacti. Next time I’m bringing a bandanna for a couple dusty areas. Especially if riding towards the end of the line.

NOT for beginners or if you're not in good physical condition
NOT for beginners!!! my husband and I have rock climb climbed, repelled and hiked canyons many times and it was very challenging for us in spots. Do not go on this trip if you have a fear of slippery rocks or a fear of heights. Daly was our guide and she was truly phenomenal. If I felt uncomfortable with the direction that she was giving, she was very accommodating defined an easier way for me to navigate the toughest areas. She was super knowledgeable, patient and friendly. She had so much information that was really interesting to us. She was one of the best outdoor adventure guides we've ever had highly recommend her if you are in good shape and have prior extreme outdoor repelling, rock climbing and scrambling experience. We were completely wiped out by the end of the 4 hours but we had a blast! Make sure to wear hiking shoes that grip rock.

Tucson Half Day Rock Climbing or Canyoneering in Arizona
molsonoc, Mar 2026
Perfect day on the rocks
Our experience with Arizona Climbing Guides was amazing. Our guide, Nate, was perfect. He was easy to talk to, friendly, and experienced. He picked routes that were challenging enough for my son and me, but not so difficult that we could not finish the routes. It was the perfect balance of challenge and fun. Throughout the day, he made sure we felt completely safe and confident on the rock. It was such a rewarding experience from start to finish.We couldn’t have asked for a better guide or a better day. We’ll definitely be climbing with Nate and Arizona Climbing guides next time we’re in Arizona!
