Florida Caverns State Park is located in Marianna, FL, 68 miles northwest of Tallahassee. It's $5…read moreper vehicle entry into the park and then it's $16 for a guided underground cave tour. Tours last around 45 minutes and they run throughout the day from 9am - 4pm Central Standard Time. A limited number of cave tour reservations can be made online ahead of time at floridacaverns.com. This cave tour is pretty straightforward. You enter 65 feet below the surface into 8 illuminated rooms learning insights into limestone formations, mineral deposits, rock columns and fossilized shells. A lot of the rooms are colorful exhibiting a sort of glow in the dark appearance. The tour guide gives background and history into what makes the caverns unique and how they came into existence. Once the cave tour is completed, a great way to continue your visit is by driving 2 miles down the road (within park limits) to check out Blue Hole Spring. This has to be one of the least talked about springs I discovered in all of Florida. An absolute hidden gem, the Blue Hole is a tucked away swimming treasure that lights up turquoise blue colors when the sun is shining. Refreshing off in these waters was the best part about the park visit and quickly put my cave tour experience in the rear view mirror. The waters of Blue Hole Spring are incredibly translucent even while continuing the 2-mile flow through the woods and connecting with the Chipola River. Some extras at the park are...overnight camping for $20, hiking trails, picnic pavilions and launching canoes and kayaks. Overall, Florida Caverns State Park can be a worthwhile stop when visiting Marianna, Florida, with a combination of cave exploring, swimming at Blue Hole Spring and spending time in nature.

We directly went to the office to inquire about the caverns tour. We then booked our tour, which would begin in 20 minutes. Meanwhile, we explored the caverns museum, which provided general historical information. Yardi was our excellent guide for the caverns. She provided us with great information and detailed history about the caves, making the tour both informative and engaging. The tour lasted approximately 45 minutes, and Yardi kept it interesting from start to finish. The park also has a food truck for quick bites. Florida Caverns State Park is a great place to learn about the history of caverns within the park.

Unfortunately, I had a disappointing experience with Cave Adventurers…read more During my second day of training, I broke a finger and asked the instructor, Edd, whether I could complete the remaining portion of the course once my finger healed. Since I had already paid the full $900 upfront, he agreed. About two months later, I contacted him to schedule the remaining training days, but I started receiving multiple excuses and delays. I even offered to pay an additional $150 to accommodate the situation, but in the end, I was told I would need to pay another instructor $600 extra to complete the final two days because Edd no longer wanted to honor his original agreement. I understand unexpected situations can happen, but I was disappointed by the lack of follow-through and professionalism after paying in full and relying on the promise that was made.

The water was a bit chilly in the low 60s but it was refreshing to swim in when the outside temperature hit 80s.

We decided to take an excursion north of the emerald coast and found this charming little lake. It is first come first serve based on the parking situation. We were fortunate to arrive there around noon and allowed in for $4 per car to go into the parking lot and then walked about 200 feet to a small beach with a few benches, a couple of tables on the beach (state park style) and also a covered picnic area. The small beach had a walkway to another area which was the jump in/dive in area of the spring fed lake. The water was cool, but definitely swimmable as there were warm currents mixed with the cold currents from the spring. Reportedly, the water is too cool for alligators which are found more at the mouth of the river feeding this area. We spent around an hour just floating around in the area. Didn't feel cold while in the water (outside temp 84 degrees). People had floaties, tubes, and even paddle boards. There were a few scuba divers as well! Bring your snorkels and other floatation equipment if you want to spend time just floating and looking a the bottom for some interesting scenery under water.

This is a beautiful RV Park with lots of ammenties and they can definitely accommodate bigger rigs, our 40' Motorhome and toad fit into the level site with ease. We requested a large site so we didn't have to unhook and could exit the park the next morning so site 30 worked out great we exited the site right onto the side street, there were some low hanging branches on the road which has nothing to do with the park but we were able to maneuver around them. The park owners should address this with the county road maintenance department to eliminate the concerns. It's obvious the staff here continues to make upgrades so as good as it is it can only get better. Access is very easy exiting exit 112 west bound off I-10. As others have stated Bonifay is a very small town but there are a number of restaurants in close proximity we had dinner next door at M&W Bbq.
