This was probably THE coolest thing we saw during our entire trip to the upper peninsula. Addie May was our tour guide- she's AMAZING. Genuinely had a passion for the history of the mine and was nothing short of excited the entire tour. Thank you so so much for such an amazing experience- worth every penny.

I wish we had hade the time for the full tour. we did not make it down to the mine proper but the team there were SOOOOO very kind, welcoming and just good people. Walking around the property and taking it all in was amazing!

RE: Captain's Tour (5-6hrs)
Everyone that isn't claustrophobic should experience this. The mine itself is an experience that one shouldn't miss. It was safe, educational, and certainly worth the trip from the porkies, but here's the thing...the value does not justify the cost at all. Here are some examples of what $330 bought us (2 people).
-A people mover that broke down a few times on the trip to the mine.
-No bathroom in the office/gift shop.
-One half-functional backpack (zippers and clasps broken, straps not adjustable for two people.
-Unplanned backtracking down the same tunnels due to lack of repelling equipment at the other end.
-Uncomfortable passively negative banter between guides.
-Thirty solid minutes of listening to a group full of introverts eating lunch. (I tried to jumpstart discussions but nobody was having it, not even the guides.) At least the pasty was good?
-The guide offered to take the other two couple's photos but we had to awkwardly ask for ours.
Please don't take it the wrong way. I'm not dissatisfied with what this tour is. It is certainly the mother of mine tours in the area and it shouldn't be missed, but we need to be real about what it is we're getting for those kind of dollars. I'm happy to pay a premium cost for a premium experience. I do so often but this was in no way a premium experience.

Not an average tour of a modified mine fit for tourists. This tour was the real deal! The mine has been kept unaltered as was in the mining days. Our only light was from the lights in our hard hats. Had a very authentic feel. Preston, our tour guide on the “Miner’s Tour”, was passionate about its history and very open and patient for questions. The repelling and bridge walk were both scary and exciting. A great tour! To top it off, there are several interesting walking trails around the grounds to explore the ruins. Would definitely recommend Adventure Mine (by the way, the it’s the original name, not some touristy thing).

I lived in Houghton for a number of years and had even previously toured the Adventure Mine, but on a rainy day with time to kill and friend and I checked out Adventure Mine's tour options and thought it would be different and fun to do the Miner's tour, complete with a rappel inside the mine. The tour did not disappoint - the rappelling and suspension bridge were very exciting (for two inexperienced guests) and safe. Our guides spent time training us on the equipment, gave us lots of tips and guidance, and all the equipment was in great shape. The mine tour was fascinating, as always, and our guide was very knowledgeable and able to answer off-book questions. Would recommend for anyone looking for a little extra Adventure in the Keweenaw!

Check out the Miner's Tour. This tour is LEGIT.
This is not a commercialized, sanitized tour company. No guardrails. No lights inside. No paved trail that everyone has to stay on. There's exposed shafts and pipes sticking out. You crouch through tunnels that are less than 5 feet tall and have sharp rock edges poking down. You are seeing a real mine and how it looked back in the 1800s. I've done some mine tours in Colorado. This one is way, waaay better than those - this is the real deal. Really fun.
Use the portapotties before the tour starts. You do not need to bring anything on this tour. You arrive in the gift shop and after checking in, they bring you to get suited up for the rappelling portion. You get a harness, gloves and a hard hat with headlamp. Then the tour group gets on a 6-wheel military bus over some extremely bumpy terrain to the mine entrance. Hold on!
The tour is very hands-on and engaging. Our guide Katelyn had a lot of info to share about the mine and its history. Inside, there's lots of old artifacts like old tools recovered from the miner days. You can see the wooden planks from the old miner carts. You'll see how they actually worked using the quarter-crank rod, it looked miserable. You really get a feel for how laborous and dangerous mining is.
***
3 things I'll call out in case you have fears:
BATS. Yes, there are bats in this cave. I am not afraid of bats, BUT not a fan. The bats I saw were tiny, maybe the size of a golf ball. They are terrified of people so they cling tight in the rock crevice and hope we don't notice them. None were flying around, but I could hear some chirping in the cathedral room.
DARK. The headlamps are good at illuminating, so at one point everyone turns off their headlamps to see how dark it is. I knew it'd be dark, but once in it, it's kind of unsettling how pitch black it is.
HEIGHTS. There's 2 places on the rappelling tour where you will be dealing with heights.
***
Ok, so rappelling! I'm not athletic, so I wasn't sure how hard this would be for me. They have you practice on the vertical metal barrier fence around the top of the shaft. You get strapped in and do a trial run against the fence before going into the shaft itself. The practice is harder than the real rappelling!
The scariest part of the rappelling was actually the first step off the ledge, because it's a vertical drop of 2-3 feet. The guide will go first so you can watch where they put their feet, the first spot to put your foot was a whitish rock. The rest of the way was MUCH easier, because you are at a 45 degree angle so it isn't straight up and down. When I was actually descending, I had to feed the rope with my hand. I was actually really worried about my arm strength not being able to support me, but it really wasn't a problem. Arm strength is not what is needed, the rope is supporting you. You just need to hang on to the rope, no prob. I'd estimate it took 10 min or less for each of us to get down. The bottom of the rappelling section is a steep slope as well. Again, remember that this is the real deal, no guardrails.
Wood slat bridge. I missed everything about this bridge when I looked up the different tours online (not sure how since it's prominently featured). If you are afraid of heights at all, the bridge is going to be the scariest part of the tour. It's wobbly, narrow, and about 15? feet across a deep dark gorge that I did not look down into because I didn't want to pysch myself out. There's a rope overhead you secure to, so you are still in the harness for this. I went across pretty smoothly. My husband, who is a foot taller and 100 pounds more, had a more difficult time. I think it was because I'm shorter, I could use the rope to hold myself up since I was under it. My husband was above the rope so it was more difficult for him. Check out pictures online. Or dont. I think if I knew the bridge was a part of the tour, I'd have been more nervous leading up to it. Pro Tip: instead of walking normally across, try doing a shuffle, facing sideways, kind of sliding your feet. This keeps the bridge from rocking from the weight of each step.
***
Wear:
- Layers: think of a 45 degree day with no wind, so it's chilly. I wore a t-shirt, a fleece, and light jacket, and jeans, and I was fine. My husband wore a long sleeve t-shirt and light jacket. You will be moving so that keeps warm too.
- Old shoes with grip: sneakers, hiking boots, trail runners. Everyone on our tour had sneakers on and they were fine. Wear shoes that can get wet or muddy; there are some areas of the trail that are wet. Not wet enough that my shoes let water in, but enough that you would not want to wear white canvas Keds.
- Jacket with zippered pockets: if you're bringing your cell phone (for photos, no service obv), you'll definitely want pockets that zip shut on the rappelling part of the tour. The way you sit in the harness, you wouldn't want your phone (or car keys etc) in your pants pockets.

We did the Prospectors tour, we had an amazing time. Dominic our tour guide was knowledgeable and explained everything so well. We learned how the miner's worked in such dangerous conditions. At one point in the tour he had a candle and that was are only light source. It was our son's birthday and he got to blow out the candle. Very cool experience. Highly recommend the tour.

The Adventure mine was a great and informative experience! It was an active mine for a long time and our guide was knowledgeable about the history of the mine. If she didn't have an answer to a question at the time we asked she knew who to direct us to for an answer. It was chilly, as advertised, and some small puddles throughout, so dress appropriately and enjoy!!

We went on the Prospector Tour. It was great! We learned a lot and have a new appreciation for what miners had to experience on a daily basis.

We did the the Prospectors Tour, since my nephew wasn’t quite old enough for the Miners tour. Since we arrived early, we hiked on our own a one mile trail loop and got to see the powder house. Then our tour guide Lauren was incredible! She was very engaging as she described the history of the mine, showed us artifacts, and answered questions. The tour was so fascinating that my nephew begged to come back in two years when he’ll be old enough for the Miners tour. We would highly recommend this experience for older kids and adults. It made our vacation memorable for lots of great reasons!

Is there any climbing up or down hills on this tour?

แมดิสัน, วิสคอนซิน154 ผลงาน
There are a variety of tour options, two are more challenging and include respelling. We chose the longer walking tour with no rappelling. The ground is uneven and there are loose rocks at some point, includes stooping, bending and uphill grades.Such fun! But if balance, coordination or exertion are problems for you, this may not be the right tour for you.
What is the price for adults kids seniors and how long is the tour

ทีคัมเซห์, มิชิแกน42 ผลงาน
The price is going to depend on which tour you take. We did the tour where you get to rappel (not the one where you also get lunch) and it was $60/person and it lasted about 2.5-3 hrs. The time also depends on how many people in your group because you have to rappel one at a time. There were 7 of us. It was definitely worth the time and money. :)

Level 1 is the only level most tours explore. The Miners tour repels to the top on level 2. The Captains tour explores all of level 2. Levels 3 on down are currently flooded. Mike (tour guide)
