Real Adventure

This is no amusement park ride - you're heading into a real, undeveloped natural cave. That's why you'll be dressed head-to-toe in high-quality caving equipment and teamed up with one of our experienced cave guides.

Year-Round, Rain or Shine

The Cave is 5°C - always. There's no rain, no wind, no snow and no sun, so we can explore the cave any day of the year. TLDR: We almost never cancel because of weather.

A Complete Experience

Whether you're looking for thrilling high-adventure, peaceful solitude, or anything in between, you'll find it here. Explore, unwind, and learn – all in one unforgettable journey.

What can I say other than “WOW!”? Reflecting back on our experience with friends, we realized just how unique and incredible this adventure truly was. We enjoyed every single moment. Huge shout-out to Brent: thank you for treating us like adults who can make our own choices, without trying to instill fear or hesitation. In many tours, choices are often “suggested” based on perceived ability, but you allowed us to embrace each challenge as it came. The whole experience was educational, fun, and lighthearted—truly unforgettable. I can’t recommend this experience enough. I discovered so much about my own limits, all thanks to the supportive, carefree atmosphere you created for our group. The knowledge you shared was invaluable, and your demeanor was perfect. I felt challenged in a way that pushed me to grow without ever feeling afraid. This speaks volumes about the quality of the tour and the guidance you provided. Thank you for an experience we’ll never forget—one we’ll be talking about for years to come!

We toured Rat's Nest Cave on the Adventure Tour with John. I'm a small (5'3") and fairly agile person and I am stunned they take people through some of the narrowest parts of that cave. If I hadn't seen the guide do it, I would never believe I could do it, but I did! One of the girls in our group was over 6' and she was able to fit too! Amazing! It's definitely an adventure, not a stroll through a touristy cave, and it's probably the likes of something you can only do here in Canada! Definitely a worthwhile experience.

Did the explorer tour with Brent. Absolutely phenomenal experience. Most challenging part was the hike up (takes about 30-40 minutes but we took lots of breaks). Before entering the cave, our guide helped us get into our harness and other gear. The cave tour itself was out of this world. Our guide was very knowledgeable and made our time in the cave quite enjoyable. Highly recommend.

Had an amazing caving with Canmore cave tours. It was our first time caving and we had an amazing time. I think our guide was called Jamie.( Experience was on 29/09/24 @11am). She was was very informative and made the whole tour fun. Highly recommend and would do again.

Having a love for hiking and nature, I booked this tour because I wanted to explore the Rockies from a different perspective. My husband, my father and I went on the 6-hour Adventure Tour. From start to finish, the booking process, customer service, and the actual tour were exceptional. We have been on cave tours before, but never a CAVING tour. This was truly a unique experience and involved much more than simply walking through a beautiful cave. We were glad we booked the longer (Adventure) tour. We also appreciated the small group sizes, which allowed a personalized experience. The rappel and squeezes were intimidating at first, but our group soon became quite comfortable with trying the different maneuvers. Our guide Brent was patient, knowledgeable, and supremely competent. His enthusiasm for cave exploration and preservation was evident, and we learned so much from him! Provided you have a semi-moderate fitness level and you are open to trying a new challenge, I recommend this activity! Definitely wear good footwear. Also, if you book the 6-hour Adventure Tour, I wouldn't plan other major excursions on the same day. You will be ready for a well-deserved meal and a relaxing patio/fireside after :).
