Overview

The Adventure Tour has been recognized as a Canadian Signature Experience. As the longest tour we offer in Rat’s Nest Cave, the Adventure Tour is the complete package. Cavers will rappel 18m (that’s 6 Stories!) inside the cave, plus have the opportunity to push your limits in the warm-up squeeze, challenge squeeze, and the Laundry Chute – a section of the cave that adds a little extra challenge but a whole lot of extra fun.

What Can You Expect?

Going caving was not something I ever thought I would want to do, but I am so glad we did the Adventure Tour with John! My husband and I went with my in-laws and not only was it a super fun experience, it was also very educational! From rappelling, shimmying, and butt-scooting everywhere, to learning about geo-chemistry throughout the cave, John made it an experience to remember. You could tell he was passionate about his work and went the extra mile to make sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying themselves. Cannot recommend John and Canmore Cave Tours enough!

There are not enough adjectives to accurately describe how much fun this cave tour was. Firstly, it isn't the typical type of cave tour that usually immediately comes to mind. This is a down-and-dirty, crawling around, 6-year-old-you-dream type of cave adventure. Initially, I was slightly nervous about this tour when my best friend suggested it, mainly because tight spaces sometimes ignite claustrophobia that is typically non-existent. But it was for her birthday, so naturally, I wasn't going to let my fear stop a potentially awesome experience. Brent was our guide, and we had a solo adventurer, Adam, join our group. So the four of us set off into the wild known, and from the beginning, I was immediately put at ease thanks to Brent's chill demeanor and great vibe. The hike to the cave was basically textbook. Gorgeous cool, sunny day. There was very little snow to deal with, and we made it up well under the 45-minute mark. The cave was nothing less than extraordinary. For the avid thrill-seeker-adventurer, it was everything someone who was new to this could want. The pace was perfect, not rushed whatsoever. Brent took us to a few areas where most groups don't typically go only because they're challenging for most people. Our conversations between the four of us were never dull, Brent was a knowledge powerhouse, and he always gave us the option of navigating an area on our own or with suggestions from him all in the name of increasing the challenge. The cave had numerous areas requiring a solid step and firm hand placement. There were also areas where it took a level head and calm demeanor to navigate. Even with my random claustrophobia, I still opted to tackle the areas that were optional due to the higher level of difficulty. I felt good the entire time knowing Brent wouldn't lead us anywhere he didn't think we could conquer. If you're going to visit Canmore, or even near it, I highly suggest going on this cave adventure. The price is absolutely worth it all thanks to the professionalism of the crew, the chill vibe, the time spent in the cave, and the outright adventure level of it.

Awesome adventure with an awesome and very knowledgeable guide (John). Unforgettable experience and the highlight of our vacation trip to the Banff/Canmore area.

Amazing adventure tour! The hike to get to the cave was interesting and gave nice views of the area. The tour itself is definitely memorable. So many neat things to see. The squeezes were my favorite. Definitely recommend this tour for adventurous people who are looking for something unique to do in the area.

First time you’ll have fun doing laundry. This was my first cave exploring and it certainly won’t be the last. Rats nest was right up my alley as my girlfriend and I did the extended version. There was tight squeezes, 49 meter rappelling and lots to see. Our guide Annie was amazing and very personable. As long as you don’t have a fear of heights, tight spaces, being in the dark, or have any physical limitations I would say it’s an experience of a life time which I wouldn’t pass up on. Total time spent was about 7 hours dedicated to the entire experience.
