Fun experience, we took the regular boat tour. The guide was very informative and humorous throughout. The mine has some really incredible geological features including an underground stream running through the ceiling. We also saw the trout and a few bats on the walls.

Evan was our guide for the boat tour and he was funny and informative and made this experience memorable and the views were worth it! I definitely want to come back and do the tour on the clear kayaks in the future!
