An adventurous and safe cave exploration experience - I was expecting a gentle walk through a cave and was delighted to find that on this tour we were crawling through the caves with knee pads, head lamps and harnesses. The cave itself was fairly slippery so we moved low and slow. There were only an handful of places that you could fully stand in the cave. Our guides were excellent at pacing the hike up the mountain to the start of the cave and moving through the cave. They were both super knowledgeable and personable and made the excursion feel safe. I would highly recommend this trip.

So happy I did this!! - This was awesome. I wasn’t really sure what to expect but as soon as I called to book the tour, the same day, I was greeted with a friendly voice on the other line who was so helpful. Once my friend and I arrived to the office for our orientation, we were fitted for our gear and given the information needed to complete the caving safely. The hike was beautiful our guide Tamara was amazing. She was so knowledgeable and just a fun person to be around. She made everyone feel comfortable and created a really fun and memorable experience for us all. Upon entering the cave, there were some challenging portions, but nothing that anyone had any problem accomplishing. It was very cool to learn about everything inside of the cave and so much more from our knowledgeable guide. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for adventure. Once you get inside the cave, you’re so excited to keep going. I absolutely loved it, and I look forward to coming back again someday.

Amazing - The experience was amazing. We have never experienced anything like this before. This wasn't just a cave tour where you walk around and look at the cave. This was a full blown experience of hiking, setting up, climbing, crawling, croutching, sliding. Not to mention our tour guide John was super enthusiastic, informative, helpful and kept everyone safe. Overall, it was a great experience. Thank you, Canmore Cave Tours. Cheers from Winnipeg.

Junior Forest Wardens Caving Tour - We had 2 large groups of youth attend the adventurer tour during the family day weekend. The staff was amazing from the initial meet and greet, getting the gear sorted out, lots of knowledge while hiking up to the cave, and amazing during the tour. The guides were super motivating and inspired all 48 people to push their limits and explore some very cool spots inside the cave. We had numerous people come out of the caves and say; "that was the best trip ever" , "I never thought I would like caving now I want to do the adventurer tour". Thank you to the staff and guides, they are very experienced, reassuring and make you feel very comfortable during the whole trip.

An overall memorable experience - My partner and I did the explorer tour and had a great time. It was thrilling, challenging and an all around one of a time experience. Unfortunately, towards the end of our tour, my partner was ill. We were grateful for our guide Tiffany’s help in navigating this but later on, we felt she became distant with us which was unfortunate. We appreciated every aspect of this tour and would recommend it to anyone looking for a lifelong memory.
