You'll see a number of bats when you look up. According to the guide when you see or feel droplets from the top, it's either those are natural minerals or bat poops! (eeeep!)

Definitely a wonderful experience! Perfect time to go here is during summer. If the winds are heavy, the coast guard cancels tours inside the Underground River.
