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.

Absolutely amazing experience. Our guide was informative and made the adventure so much more fun! Thank you.

Fantastic guides! We had 11 guys and we all had a blast exploring this natural cave.

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.

HIGHLY recommend if physically allows :) unforgettable experience of a life time

A definite must do if youre in Canmore. Friendly, supportive and professional guides. Extremely knowledgable about the cave and the area. If they have the availability, i would go for the adventure tour!

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 :).

We went on my husband’s first cave tour yesterday (number 3 for me) and it was so much fun! John, our guide, was very knowledgeable of the area, the plants, the rock formations, and more and his experience definitely added to the adventure. Although John was our guide, I do believe every guide would be just as patient and understanding about new beginners to caving. When he said he was going slow up the hike, I thought like an easy walk. No he really meant SLOW! But that made it perfect to see the views and to allow members of our whole group to be a part of the experience without lagging behind. Lots of crawling, sliding, and small amounts of squeezing. It was just perfect and would definitely go again (maybe for a longer one next time)!

A fun and unique experience not to be missed! Our guide, John, was patient, knowledgeable, and encouraged us to push past our comfort zones in a safe and empowering way. We learned so much about the history of the area and the cave and had a blast while doing so!
