After that, we did the King’s Palace tour ($8.00 per person
and requires reservations). It’s a 1 ½ hour tour about a mile long. The path
descends to 830 feet below the surface (the deepest part of the cave open to
the public). I think some of the prettiest features of the park are in this
area. It was difficult to capture good photos because it was dark and the
features were so far from the path. The photos really don’t do it justice,
either; so much depth is lost and the pic end up looking flat.
After we toured King’s Palace, we returned to the surface for lunch, then topped off the day with the self-guided tour of the Big Room. The Big Room tour takes about 1 ½ hours. It is impressive. It’s eight acres and has a 255 foot ceiling. The path seems to go on forever. The path seems to go on forever. For better pictures of the Big Room, see:
