From the reviews
I recently visited Lake Shasta Caverns and had an absolutely amazing experience. The tour started with a scenic boat ride across the beautiful lake, which was a great way to start the adventure. Once we arrived at the caverns, we hopped on a comfortable bus that took us up to the entrance.
One of our quest to visit all beauties of California is exploring Lake Shasta Caverns. We went to see the McCloud 3 Falls then stopped by here to see the cave. The lake is beautiful, the boat ride is refreshing.
Must do if you’re in the area!!! The views of the lake are incredible and the cave is even cooler. They just installed new LEDs so the lighting is excellent and stairs lead you through the different rooms of the cave. The tour guides are so knowledgeable and professional, they are also funny!
It was 96 degrees Fahrenheit outside today, and the caverns were like a nice 70 degree room with AC. No jackets needed. On the bus ride up, sit on the right side to see the lake view. The ferry rides and the tour were enjoyable. There are many slopes and stairs, and the staff are friendly and assistive.
Getting married at Lake Shasta Caverns National Natural Landmark
Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
