    One of our quest to visit all beauties of California is exploring Lake Shasta Caverns. We went to see the McCloud 3 Falls then stopped by here to see the cave. The lake is beautiful, the boat ride is refreshing. Walking to the bus ride is tiring due to up hill climb from the dock, but the ride is scary and exciting looking down the steep slope to the lake. All the buses trying to go up and down the one way road quite amazing. The bus driver is extremely humorous and pleasant. Inside the cave, we had a narrator to explain the history of the cave and how they're forming which is quite informative and eye opening. More stairs to climb, tiring but there are so much to see. Each floor and sections have different scenery. The lighting makes each cave look lively and exotic. Although there are quite a lot of climbing and walking but we had enjoyed it tremendously. On the way out, we could see the views of the lake so beautiful. It's quite a feast for the eyes. We loved it. It's time for another one.

    This was a fun and interesting experience and I'm really glad that we made a stop here. It is dog friendly, however I think it's really important for people to understand what that means. They have a small kennel area here under a blue canopy (SEE PHOTOS) that has a few dog cages and some bowls for water. It's my understanding that if you have a larger dog or you want to leave your dog there, you can. We actually did not see that area until after the tour and it made me quite sad. I understand that some people might have to leave their dogs because the tour is more difficult if you have your dog with you, but just know that it's not impossible. We took our 20 lb dog with us and with the exception of the cavern area, it was a breeze. In the caverns however, you will have to carry your dog the entire time. While it might not sound like a difficult task to carry your dog for 30 minutes or so, there are over 600 steps inside the cavern that you will have to traverse while carrying your dog and there is no place where you can set your dog down while you are in the caverns. That being said, the tour was more physically grueling than we anticipated. My husband and I are both overweight and do not exercise regularly but we were able to make it through, including carrying our dog through the caverns. My husband had also just had knee surgery a few months prior so while this tour is definitely doable, it is a lot of physical activity. You will have to walk down multiple steps after purchasing your ticket and walk down a graded slope to get on the boat. Once on the other side of the lake, you will have to walk up a steep grade to get to a bus and then there are the 600 steps inside the cavern. When it's over, you get to walk up and downhill and do more steps again to head back. The tour itself is lovely and you get to see a lot and learn a lot, but I think if we had known exactly how much physical exertion would be required before coming, we might have chosen a different activity. I'm glad we didn't know and took a chance on this tour; I just want others to be prepared because I see reviews saying things like" don't worry about the 600 steps, it's easy" just remember that you will be in a line of strangers and we were definitely not the only ones huffing and puffing and hot and uncomfortable even though the temperature in the caverns is steadily cool. While I would recommend this tour to most people, we were approached by an older woman on our way out asking us about the difficulty and after about 5 minutes of talking she decided to send her children and grandchildren and wait in her vehicle instead of going and I think she made the right decision.

    Shasta Caverns is the only Cavern that you have to take a boat ride and a bus ride to get to the enterance. They have a gift shop and visitor center with quite a few items available including food and drink options, this is also where you have to check in for your tour to get your boarding pass for the boat. They start their boarding call about 15 minutes before tour time and you descend out the back of the visitor center and down to the lake to board the boat. You take a boat ride accross the lake where you board a bus that drives you up to the top of the hill. There is a waiting area with a drink machine and some history on the caverns. We met our tour guide at the enterance and he went over the no touching etc rules and regulations. The tour you see 3-4 different rooms and types of formations. Be aware that this tour has alot of stairs. There's a few here and there at first when you go to the first and second room and once you head to the larger rooms you take 80 consecutive stairs before you get to the first room. You then take an additional amount of stairs in to the largest cave room I've ever been in. Where they have a light show which was incredible. The tour was fairly quick in each room and we didnt get the opportunity to take a photo of us together in the Cavern. When you exit the caver you exit at the top and descend countless stairs back down to the visitor center. My legs felt like jello by the time we were done. This was one of the better caverns I have been to and I highly reccomend.

    Shasta Caverns was a great way to spend a warm day during a vacation in the area. I love visiting caverns and had been looking forward to this for quite some time. You can buy tickets online but it's not required-walk ins are first come first serve and tours run every 30 minutes. The staff told us that summer weekends and holidays are packed, so try going during the week if you can. The cost of your ticket includes a whole experience of a short boat ride across the lake, a scenic bus ride to the entrance and the tour itself. My group was small and Katie, our guide, was a Chico State geology major. She made the tour interesting and was very knowledgeable about the cave formations and the history of the area. Plan on wearing comfortable shoes and doing a good amount of walking with stairs. The caverns themselves are amazing. We even saw some bats! The gift shop was cool and near the parking area there was a nice picnic area. Plan about 2 hours minimum for your visit-more if you're going to enjoy their grounds. Wonderful spot and the lakeside location makes it even more special!

    MIND BLOWING TOUR! This tour is worth every cent of the 44$ price tag! The bus ride was very easy and nice heading up the mountain . (Modern, clean buses with AC) The walking tour was breathtaking! The guide was knowledgeable and nice! LOTS OF STAIRS! (Be careful if you're not a solid walker) The cave is cool so you can take your time walking them and it's not hot doing it! The light show at the end was my favorite! 10/10 would recommend!

    If you're looking for a fun activity to break up the lake days and get out of the heat then you must check out the caverns! It was a cool 50degrees inside the caverns, with gorgeous sites and rich history. The tour guide was super friendly and entertaining.

    Historic and Natural [Lakehead CA] We've been to a few different caverns before but this is the first time the tour included a boat ride and a bus ride that took guests to the cavern. The enter experience was about two hours. The catamaran cruise was about a 15-min ride across beautiful Lake Shasta. The lake was 115% of average for this time of year and about 99% full. Once we were ashore we boarded a 30-passenger bus that drove us up the mountainside. The ride was comfortable and the view picturesque. We were around 800-ft above the lake. Our bus driver was very informative and funny as he shared with us facts and trivia. Once inside the cavern we saw different sizes stalactites and stalagmites and other unusual forms. Each section (room) had a tour guide so guests were able to ask questions. The self-guided tour inside the cavern took us about 45 minutes. TIP: be prepared to climb over 600+ stairs on the cave tour (300 up and 300 down). We were not allowed to bring backpacks. Purses okay. Wear comfortable shoes and layered clothing. The boat ride was cold (our tour was on Memorial Day weekend. Adult Admission: $42/person + taxes and fees Review #3451

    A boat ride to the other side of Lake Shasta

    Was told about this by a friend who had the pleasure of the Shasta Cavern experience and I was glad take his advice. A triple event for this tour, a great boat ride across the lake then a short bus ride from the water to the cavern entrance and then the tour. Every member of the staff was happy and made the experience an incredible journey thru nature. Would do it multiple times again and will spread the word. It is a bit of a workout so make sure you have good shoes and bring plenty of water, it's about a 2-2.5 hour experience but definitely worth it. So when you are in the Lake Shasta area and looking to get out of the seasonal heat and interested in enjoying natures Air Conditioning as well it's geological wonders then this is for you. Ciao

    Tree house for the kids while one wait for their tour to the caverns

    It was a wonderful way to end our Summer trip. If you want to escape the heat, you must cave in and tour the cavern which is typically about 58 degrees. Just be aware that there are about a total of over 800 steps to get into and out of the cave. But it is doable. There is only one section that is a continuous 87 steps climbing upwards into the middle room. After that, it is smooth climb. Wonder place to take the family if one wants to learn about lime stone formations. Highly recommend the caverns as it is our second tour after ten years. More rooms were available this time around. The one consistent variable was the black stuffed bear in the waiting room.

    What an amazing tour! Highly recommend this cavern tour. Cavern Dave (the Boss) made the experience unforgettable. His passion and wealth of knowledge was very inspirational that our kids wanted a picture with him We were very excited by the boat ride to the cavern, but the cave itself was incredible. We've visited 3 other caverns and this by far is the best! It's spectacular especially their "Cathedral" room with the light show experience. Best part, unexpected bats flew around in the cave. Kids and adults enjoyed it! Boat ride was good for sea sickness people. Our kids have sea sickness and they were fine. People with furry friends, they have a free kennel service to keep your pet in! This was a great service for us because we didn't want our dog to bake in the car. They also have a can to water your friend! Just let them know you have a pet and they will guide you to the kennel (by the front) They also have a small playground area for kids. Beautiful picnic area to hang out and a cool gift shop with food, soda machine, ice cream, and very nice bathroom.

    Visited with a group. Everything is very well organised. Beautiful experience. The transportation to and from Caverns is very easy and comfortable.

    What a unique experience! Who knew this was here in California? I was pretty amazed by all the crystal-filled caved on this peninsula. Our tour guide was incredibly friendly! He had so much knowledge about the different classifications and development of each crystal formation. I learned so much about limestone! Definitely do the 2 PM session. This tour is best when there's few people in the cave at once. You get to enjoy it all in a more intimate setting and the view is beautiful at this time of day too! The best part was definitely the Cathedral Room! I was blown away by this. Don't let the 600 steps of stairs scare you. As someone with a knee condition, I can guarantee you that it was worth every step! If I survived, you can too :)

    I understand there are no backpacks allowed, what about a purse that is a backpack style, as in a lounge fly mini backpack?

    Can babies go on this tour?

    We do allow babies on the tour! We do not allow backpack carriers, but slings and front carriers are fine. Children 2 and under are free of charge.

    How many stairs are there?

    There are several flight of stairs. To get down to the boat that takes you to the cavern are stairs, probably 40. Once you are inside the caverns there is part of the tour that's 50 stairs on one shot.… Read more

    Is it cold inside? We are packing for out trip and wonder if we need long pants and light jacket.

    It is cool inside but if you are going when it's hot you can dress in shorts and a T-shirts. If you are a person that gets cold easily I would bring a little jacket and wear closed toe shoes because of all the climbing and walking.

    Is everyone wearing a mask ?even the employees? I'm reading a couple comments stating employees are not wearing masks

    We were there about 4 months ago. Tour guides were not masked.

    As of 2021, are online tickets honored or not? I'm concerned about the multiple reviews saying it's not honored and can sell out. What would be the point of advance purchase then?

    I don't know how about 2021, but we visited in Nov 2020 with online tickets and everything was OK.

    Are dogs allowed?

    Service dogs are allowed and friendly pets that can be carried the whole tour.

    Can I catch a tour if I am on a houseboat on the lake already?

    You can Meet and pay the bus driver At the caverns side.

    About how much time should I budget for the entire experience?

    call and determine from the office how long the tour usually takes

    Has anyone seen any Lemurians (sleestak) in the caverns?

    Yes. I saw one but it poked me in my third eye and ran away before i could take a picture of it :(

I found it really interesting and learned a lot about the dam's construction and role it plays in water management from the heavy rains Nor Cal gets in the winter. Their website posts hours the visitor center is open and what times tours run. I caught the last tour of the day on a random Monday and it was just my boyfriend and I. The tour is free and even with just the two of us, our guide made it engaging and educational. The epic views of the river, lake and Mt Shasta are worth the drive over. Definitely a cool attraction and not too far from Redding if you're in the area.

I plugged Pluto's Cave into Google Maps and…read moreit led us down all these eerie gravel roads (there were private properties along the way but we couldn't figure out if they were residential or commercial; didn't see any humans). It was uncomfortable. In the end, it led us to the wrong side of the cave. You are better off looking at Google Maps and just following it manually. It clearly shows where the road to the trailhead is. You take A12 and then you'll see a small sign for Pluto's Cave where you turn onto 43N30. That'll take you to the trailhead. If you want something to plug into the GPS, use Juniper Flat OHV Area which is less than a mile away. Once you make that turn from A12, you'll see an official sign for Pluto's Cave. The parking area wasn't really much but there was only one other car so we managed to squeeze in. OTHER TIPS: ~Bring at least two sources of light. One back-up is generally recommended so you have something else in case your primary source of light dies. In my experience here, I'd recommend bringing a headlamp (mine was garbage so try to get a good one) as well as a flashlight. The thing is, there are some areas in the cave where you have to climb boulders and the terrain isn't flat. Your headlamp isn't lighting up the area where you are stepping unless you look down. Then it won't light up the area in front of you. Ideally, you'd want to use the headlamp to illuminate the space in front of you and point the flashlight at your feet. This may be a major DUH to regular cave explorers but this was my first cave. At the start of the cave area, you actually have some light where the ceiling has collapsed. It almost looks like a small cave but you want to keep moving forward as the cave continues. Eventually though, you reach an area with boulders that you climb to look around the bend. After that, it's DARKNESS. Not sure how far the cave actually continues....eek. I didn't want to risk it with poor/minimal lighting so I didn't go any further. ~Good shoes, obviously. ~Be aware that there are bats in here. Leave them alone. They shouldn't bother you. Don't bother them. This is their home. Also, they carry diseases. ~The trail from the trailhead to the cave is short but not well marked. Beware of rattlesnakes, per the sign. Overall, this is a pretty cool experience but spooky as heck. At least for me. There is a lot of graffiti on the walls which doesn't help. I went with my boyfriend and we didn't see any other people until we were headed back and already out of the cave. If I were to go back, I'd prefer to do it with a larger group.

Your GPS may take you off an unpaved dirt road - glad we had a 4 wheel drive truck, about .4 miles to where you will see a sign for 'Plutos' Cave' and another dirt rood offshoot behind the sign with a lowered gate behind it. DON'T GO THAT WAY. Look around the little parking area for a path with rocks painted white on either side. THAT path will take you to the cave. Some smart person also painted several rocks white on the path to the cave. Look for those as there are several path offshoots.

This was definitely an experience if you haven't done it! $15.00-25.00 to bring your horse, bicycle, motorcycle cycle, car or RV into the park. Doesn't matter how warm outside as the caves are cool to freezing with ice depending on which cave and how far down it goes. Headlamps/flashlights are needed but headlamps easiest so you can use both your hands. The fantastic Park Rangers will not only give you expert advice on what caves are best suited for you but the history about this amazing park. Skull Cave before you get to the visitors center was my first cave. After descending the short rock staircase then a rock floor then to a metal landing and down the metal staircase lower and lower into the cold dark earth. At the bottom is a Skull, bones and ice. The hand rails were freezing. Wish I would have brought my gloves. The visitors center can help with what caves are where and offer helmets, flashlights and other needs via borrow, rent or buy. Closed shoes, knee pads, etc for tight caves recommended. The others I tried weren't near that cold but still really incredible in different ways. To see all the melting of rock and burn scars through these tubes is spectacular. Our earth is alive and so amazing. There are some bathrooms at some of the sites but not all so take advantage. Also, make sure to wear clothing you've never worn in other caves. Transfer of biologicals is real and could very negatively effect the bats in here. An awe experience and I highly recommend it. Some spaces also might be a bit small in case you're claustrophobic. Many are not tight but pitch black. Better than any Halloween haunted house with the creep jumping out at you.

Certain tubes can be closed seasonally to protect the bats that both migrate and hibernate there, so be sure to check with the park before you go if there is a specific one you would like to visit. The campgrounds are first come first serve except for the large group sites that can be reserved online, and the restrooms are decently kept with water refill stations outside.

    Interstate 5 is the formal name. I grew up knowing it as the 5. Which is correct?!?! Who knows!! ;)…read more I drive the 5 in Sacramento at least five times a week. It's my go to favorite path to work. For the most part, this area is my favorite drive. I don't like the slow down of construction, but I also understand improvement is best for all. Accidents happen. Slow downs from this gets crazy. Impatiently waiting to be on my way. Now, when on the 5 heading towards Los Angeles....oh my!! The two lane area can get tricky. For example, the right lane which is considered the slow lane has the most holes and or bumps in the road. I guess the heavy traffic of eighteen wheelers tear up the roads. The left lane is better, but considered the fast lane! People drive like they're late for an important meeting. In the Los Angeles area, there's more holes in every other lanes. You have to pay close attention. I'm always afraid I'm going to have a flat on a crazy busy highway. San Diego is better, but not perfect! It has its own issues. Problem areas as well. Overall, our family enjoys road trips and creating memories. The 5 is our favorite choice to travel on. I cannot complain. No where is perfect. Accidents happen. Repairs are a must. Look ahead. Look left and right. Check your rear view mirror! BE SAFE! DRIVE RESPONSIBLY!! Relax and enjoy your path!!!

    As an East Coaster, I'm still going to refer to it as "Interstate 5" and not like you Californians…read morethat call it "the five." Because that's just silly. I have spent a good amount of time on this road, as far north as the Canada border and as far south as the San Diego airport. I am not interested in driving in to Mexico, thanks! I-95 follows the east coast from Canada, it continues down into Florida and not the Canada border. And while I-35 goes from Laredo Texas, it terminates in Duluth Minnesota and not at the Canada border. That makes I-5 special! Rest areas along the way are mostly open and many of them allow overnight parking. And you can expect the highway patrol of all three states to be looking out for speeders. So use caution, don't speed and you'll, as they say, "Arrive alive." [Review 20936 overall - 483 in California - 1920 of 2023.]
