Book a special boat trip

Discover a magical world deep under the heart of Dudley.

Limestone mines and rocks date back 428 million years and our knowledgeable skippers take you back through the ages to talk about the formation of the area, its impressive Industrial Revolution legacy and the formation of the Trust in the 60's as they set about preserving this unique environment for future generations.

Our 45 minute boat trips run daily into the caverns, with no prior booking required - just turn up! We also run a wide range of special trips both into the tunnel and out onto the open water throughout the year. From dining cruises to toddler-friendly trips, check out the listings below for more information and to book!
