So I might have been excited when this came across my dash because I’ve been in one of these multiple times and some others are on my “must visit” list.
1. Marble Caves (Cuevas de Mármol) in Chile - open to kayakers
2. Fairy Caves (Gua Pari) in Borneo - open to tourists who can handle going down and up a lot of stairs
3. Cave of the Crystals (Cuevas de los Cristales) in Naica, Chihuahua, Mexico - not open to the public
4. Raufarhólshellir in Iceland - open to the public, has adventure tours (which is why it’s on my list)
5. Lechuguilla Cave in Carlsbad Caverns National Park, New Mexico, USA - You can only visit this if you are a very, very lucky researcher or park employee
6. Coconino Lava River Dave in Flagstaff, Arizona, USA - open to general public
7. Carlsbad Caverns National Park, New Mexico, USA - this part of the park is open to the public, and is accessible to most people! This park has a well paved trail through the cave with handrails and an elevator. This park has a special place in my heart.
8. Nettlebed Cave in Kahurangi National Park in New Zealand - I don’t believe this one is open to the general public, but I think you can hire a tour guide?
9. Moaning Caverns in Vallecito, California, USA - tourist destination with a vertigo-inducing spiral staircase
10. I think this is Namakdan Salt Cave in Qeshm, Iran - open to tourists and tentatively on my list. Another picture of Namakdan Salt Cave:
Gyokusendo Cave in Okinawa, Japan:
Fern Cave in Lava Beds National Park, California, USA:
Ice Cave also in Lava Beds National Park, California, USA:
Waitomo Glow Worm Caves in New Zealand (you can float on a tube through this cave!!)
