Q&A

Q: What's the age limit for kids on this tour? Can my 8-year-old join?

A: Kids of all ages are welcome on the Slingshot tour, but for safety reasons, they need to be at least 8 years old to ride in the passenger seat. Also, make sure they can wear a helmet comfortably since it’s required. You might want to check with the vendor for specific weight restrictions as well.

Q: What should we wear for the cave tour? Is it cold in there?

A: Definitely dress in layers! The caverns stay around 60 degrees all year, so it can feel chilly, especially after being outside in the Texas heat. Closed-toe shoes are a must since the terrain can be uneven. I’d also suggest bringing a light jacket just in case!

Q: How’s the parking at the Natural Bridge Caverns? Is it easy to find?

A: Parking at Natural Bridge Caverns is pretty straightforward. They have a large lot right next to the entrance, and it’s free! Just get there early, especially on weekends, to snag a good spot. The Slingshot rental place is close by, so you won’t have to walk far between the two.

Thinking about gifting this Slingshot tour! Anyone done it?

Hey everyone! I’m thinking of getting this Slingshot tour and Natural Bridge Caverns combo for my boyfriend’s birthday. I love that it’s in San Antonio and combines both driving and exploring. What do you guys think? Is it worth it? Any tips for first-timers?

Anyone done both parts of this experience? Which was better?

I’m trying to decide if I wanna focus more on the Slingshot ride or the caverns. Sounds like a cool combo! But I can’t decide if I should plan more time for one over the other. What’s everyone’s take?
