Adventure is out there! - This was a unique experience that I have zero regrets doing! Our tour guide John was extremely knowledgeable on nature & caves in general, giving us facts along the journey about flora and fauna. His super chill attitude helped us feel secure and safe during the tougher parts. I would 100% recommend this tour if you’re in the area & want to do a different experience for the day. The adventurer tour was literally the most adventure I’ve had this entire trip!

As much fun as you can possibly have underground in a red jumpsuit! - This was a really interesting and fun experience. Lots of climbing, crawling, squeezing, and strange body contortions to make it through the cave. We were glad that we went on the longer trip to see it all, but for those with claustrophobia or fear of heights, the shorter trip might be a more gentle introduction. Our guide Emily was skilled, knowledgeable, funny, and terrific. Highly recommended.

What a great way to push yourself out of your comfort zone - What a great experience. I went with 4 of my children. The repelling was exciting and the guide was amazing and knowledgeable. It was a great bonding experience that pushed us all to our limits in different ways.

Exciting - Never done it before. John is very good what he does. I enjoy it greatly. It is a challenge for a 200 lb office worker like me. This activity proved thrill and adrenaline without real danger.

Fantastic fun! - My family of 4 did the Adventure Tour. Of all the activities, this was the most fun! Our guide, Adam, was fantastic. I anticipated a lot of staring at cave walls and strolling through the caves. Instead, we were rappelling, scrambling, and crawling through super tight spaces! Highly recommend!

We wanted to do something... - We wanted to do something to get away from the crowds on a Saturday. This was ideal. Our guide, Emily, was so kind and funny and incredibly knowledgeable. Our family is very active and adventurous and this was a perfect day.

Unique and exciting - Such a unique and exciting experience! This is probably my favourite tour I’ve done in the Rockies. Our guide, Jon, was super knowledgeable and made sure we were always safe. The laundry chute and the repel are the highlights for sure!

One of the best experiences in Canada 🇨🇦 - Was absolutely blown away by this tour from start to finish. Safety briefing and kit was excellent quality, pace on the walk up was perfect and cave was absolutely stunning. The thing that really took the tour to the next level was our guide Brent. An absolutely wealth of knowledge, funny at the right moments (cave humour albeit 😉), encouraging when you needed it and supportive to the members of the group who needed it the most. Had a really great demeanor, made the cave trip feel like it was between 8 friends, rather than 8 people who have never met. Can't recommend this tour enough, one of the best things I've done in the area, and in Canada! Thanks again Brent 🙌🏽
