What is the tallest underground waterfall you can visit?

Ruby Falls in Tennessee, at 145 feet (44 m), is widely cited as the tallest and deepest underground waterfall open to the public in the United States, and one of the tallest publicly accessible underground waterfalls anywhere in the world.

Are cave waterfall tours safe for children and older travellers?

Most are. Sites like Ruakuri (New Zealand) and Cathedral Caverns (Alabama) are designed to be accessible, with smooth paths and gentle gradients. Others — Škocjan in Slovenia and adventure tours generally — involve hundreds of steps and are better for fit visitors. Always check each site's accessibility details when booking.

Do I need a guide, or can I explore on my own?

It varies. Ruby Falls, Ruakuri, Škocjan, Marble Arch and Jeita are guided-tour only. Akiyoshido in Japan is largely self-guided along a lit route. Tham Lod in Thailand uses a local rafter-guide. Never enter a wild cave alone — this guide only covers managed, ticketed sites.

When is the best time of year to visit a cave waterfall?

Underground temperatures stay roughly constant, so the cave itself is fine year-round — but river caves depend on the weather. Go in the drier months for Tham Lod (roughly November–February), check daily status for Marble Arch and Jeita's boat section, and book ahead in summer peaks for Ruby Falls, Ruakuri and Škocjan.

Can I take photos inside?

Depends on the site. Akiyoshido generally allows photography; Ruby Falls and many US caves permit it. Jeita Grotto bans photos and videos inside the grottos. Always check and respect each cave's rules — and never use flash where it is prohibited.

How much do cave waterfall tours cost?

Roughly USD 15–40 (or the local equivalent) per adult for the headline sites, with river-cave raft fees in Thailand far lower. Prices change, so confirm the current rate on each official site linked above before you travel; we have avoided quoting exact figures that may be out of date.
