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.

I bought the adventure tour as a birthday gift for my wife and we were not disappointed. John is a professional. He took the time to make sure everyone in the group is safe. Thanks to his instructions everyone in our group was comfortable doing the harder obstacles like the laundry chute. Everyone at the Canmore cave tours is a pro and their customer service and attitude is fantastic. 5/5 recommended.

Life time experience. Was not expecting to be as thrilled as I was. John was an amazing guide and my wife and I were blown away. Absolutely recommend the rappelling version as we rappelled down 5-6 stories and got into some scenarios that made you question your life decisions, but it was all worth it. Nice work. 10/10. No regrets

I did the full blown cave tour with my 13 year old son and his buddy on December 29th. John was our guide. This tour was one of the most incredible things we have done, ever! I consider myself claustrophobic but had no issues. John was such a calming force and incredible guide. I would highly recommend this tour. It is not for everyone (if you are extremely claustrophobic it may not be for you) but if you decide to do it you will be blown away!

My family and I did the Adventure Tour, and we had a blast! Despite our varying ages (25–75) and physical capacities, our tour guide, Tamara, made sure that we all survived Rats Nest Cave, and better yet, left with a smile. The 18-meter rappel section was definitely the highlight of the tour for us, but the laundry chute was also pretty cool. For us, the hike up to the cave was the most strenuous portion of the tour, especially since we went on a rather cold winter day. Despite this, there were still quite a few good physical challenges inside the cave, especially on the way out. Overall, we had a fantastic experience with Canmore Cave Tours. I would highly recommend their Adventure or Explorer (slightly easier) tours for anyone who wants a more unique caving experience. While there will definitely be challenges along the way, as long as you keep an open mind and try your best, you will have a lot of fun, and maybe a few bruises.

My friend and I did the 4 hour adventure tour guided by Annie (sp?) and she is amazing! She is not only incredibly skilled, knowledgeable and experienced but hilarious and added to the experience. Overall, a fantastic and unique experience. I’d recommend for anyone looking for an adventure and to test some fears. You won’t have to do anything out of your comfort zone but you get opportunities to test that comfort zone in a great way.

This was my favourite tour in a long, long time. Where so many tours are watered down experiences and frankly boring, the Canmore Cave Tour is a somewhat "raw" and completely exhilarating experience. Super safe but super fun. Annie was a great guide and we appreciated the care this company takes of the cave.

The tour itself is mind-blowing. John did a very good job entertaining us and telling very interesting stories. I couldn’t even imagine such a beautiful and unique pleasure we are living in. I am used to trail running in the mountains, but I could never imagine that I would see where they are growing from. Even though I am very scared of heights, I felt so safe and secure during the tour. John even let us crawl into really tight tunnels. My friend said (his words) that it was the best day of his life after his wedding. Even though he has done sky jumping and is quite outdoorsy. I would say it is such an underrated tour. I honestly don’t know why not many people know about it.

Amaaazing adventure 🫶! Loved it! I took the Adventurous Tour — we started around 10:15 am and finished about 4 pm. We met at the office, tried on our overalls and gloves, grabbed our gear, drove a short distance, and then hiked about 30–40 minutes up Grotto Mountain. At the shelter, we had some snacks, got fully geared up, and headed off to the caves. We spent about 3.5 to 4 hours inside, and it’s definitely not for the faint-hearted! We rappelled about 20 meters into the dark, squeezed through the “Laundry Chute,” and explored so many cool spots. It was so peaceful and full of great memories. Since it was shoulder season, there were only five of us — we had the whole cave to ourselves! Our guide, John, was patient and full of amazing stories about wildlife and geology. Wouldn’t change a thing. Highly recommend — thank you!🫶🫶🫶
