Our Values and
Philosophy

It takes a very special person to work here at Canmore Cave Tours. We are all very passionate people and we love what we do. We eat, sleep and breathe all things caving. But, more importantly, what makes each and every one of our team members so incredible is their commitment to offering you only the best possible experiences. From the moment you first speak with our customer service team to the final wave goodbye, we want you to feel like you were in the best of hands.

We understand that spending hours underground might seem weird, if not a little crazy. We're okay with crazy. We work hard though to make sure you are well prepared for your cave experience and never feel unsafe. All of our guiding staff are proficient in Wilderness First Aid, advanced caving techinques and cave rescue (and despite what they might tell you, they know the cave like the back of their hand).

When you join us in the cave or on a hike, you do so as friend and fellow explorer. We will show you the way and how to do it safely, but as far as we're concerned, you're part of the team.

(Translated by Google) Had a really good tour with Jon! He was able to explain everything to us about the animals, nature, and of course the cave! Very interesting, knowledgeable, and we had some nice conversations with him. The cave view was also fun to do, especially because very little has been altered in the cave. So that does mean some climbing, and you do get quite dirty from the mud and wetness. No problem though, most of it is absorbed by the overalls you are given! 5/5! (Original) Hele goede tour gehad met Jon! Hij kon ons alles uitleggen over de dieren, natuur en uiteraard de grot! Zeer interessant met veel kennis en hebben leuke gesprekken gehad met hem. De cave aanzicht was ook leuk om te doen, met name omdat er weinig is aangepast aan de grot. Betekend dus wel wat klauterwerk en je wordt er redelijk vies van de modder en nattigheid. Geen probleem meeste wordt opgevangen door de overal die je krijgt! 5/5!

A once in a lifetime experience! We had an incredible time doing this tour and doing the squeezes through the cave. Our guide was exceptional and was very knowledgable about caving and answering all of our questions. I would 10/10 recommend this experience if you are in the Banff/Canmore area.

Went with our 11 and 14 year old boys. None of us had ever been in a cave. Of note, this is a vertical cave --> requires descending down and then climbing out. Our guide HyunHo was spectacular. he was friendly, patient, great at explaning and teaching, taught us about caving and the cave itself. Amazing experience, tons of fun. Would strongly recommend for anyone even thinking about it. Got the kids interested in exploring more caves in the future. Easily worth the cost for this lifelong memory.

We had Emily as our tour guide and she did an absolutely fabulous job! We chose the explorer tour as a 2nd year wedding anniversary gift to ourselves and it did not disappoint one bit. Although it was a steep and sometimes slippery hike, it was well worth every bit. I cannot thank Emily enough for giving us such a fun and unforgettable experience :) she was so helpful, easy to talk to and even laughed at all my husband's jokes! We felt incredibly safe and secure our whole trek and would definitely do it again. Can't recommend enough.

My father (early 60's) and I (28) booked this trip looking for something adventurous to do during our trip to Banff, and this cave expedition did not disappoint! While it's listed as a tour, it is much more involved than that - it's truly an underground cave spelunking adventure and is more physically demanding than either of us expected, but is manageable for anyone strong enough to pull their own body weight and with full body mobility (we had an active couple in their late 60's with us, and we've been told people in their 80's have managed). Our guide Jon was fantastic - he kept the journey going at a good pace while keeping an eye on everyone, prioritizing safety, and ensuring we pushed ourselves without pressuring us to do more than we were comfortable with. He also shared facts and stories at breaks throughout, and there were plenty of opportunities for photos (I recommend just bringing a smartphone if you want pics, there's no space for traditional cameras). It felt very real and was just the right amount of a challenge - not too difficult as to be truly scary, but just hard enough that you felt proud of yourself for finishing and worn out by the end of the journey. For anyone with an adventurous spirit looking to test the waters of underground caving, I can't recommend it enough!

One of the best caving tours that you'll love so much and will never forget. My group was a full 8 max people who I never met before and we all bonded so well and were a great team and good support for each other in the cave. Our tour guide was Emily was she was really great and very knowledgeable on everything and sees everything like a hawk to make sure your safe and are well looked after. I highly recommend to do adventure tour which is 6 hours and 4 or more of the hours your in the cave. The hike is spectacular and beautiful to the cave entrance and the whole cave adventure was awesome and sometimes challenging which made even better. Definitely check these guys out and do the tour you won't regret it trust me and I came all the way from spruce grove Edmonton to do the tour and the others were from utah and west Virginia.

Came here as one of our honeymoon adventures and it was so much fun. I was originally really nervous and thought that it would be too hard, but John, the guide makes sure everyone safely makes it in and out at their own comfort level. I’m really glad I went out of my comfort zone and tried this tour. It was so much fun! I also highly recommend getting the GoPro on your head watching the video back is really funny.

Phenomenal adventure, high challenge! We expected real caving and were blown away by what we got. We suited up for light rapelling, carried our gear 40 minutes up a steep mountain trail to a beautiful view, and then saw a knotted rope leading to a crawlspace. That was our cave entrance! Inside, our guide Nate was superb, knowledgeable, patient, and great with navigating our group of 6 down ropes, sliding on our bellies through tight crevices, and entertaining us once we'd found a spot to steady ourselves with history. We had a caver have problems (this is NOT a faint of heart tour, and out of shape or bigger folk are going to have problems), but Nate expertly got him out (there's a segment where you have to pull 100% of your body up by a rope, no foot leverage). This was a real cave experience and we loved it. We did bring our twins (ages 11, too young for the big rappel option), and they climbed like monkeys while listening to our guide as you can really get hurt if you don't follow instructions. We came out filthy muddy and with grins. Recommend totally, but just make sure it's something you're ready for.

(Translated by Google) The tour with our guide Nate was one of the most exciting experiences we've ever had. It involved climbing, rappelling, and crawling through narrow passages. A minimum level of physical fitness is required, however, as on our tour with eight guests, the first guest had to turn back on the ascent to the cave. A second guest didn't dare to crawl through the first narrow passage, so we ended up doing the four-hour tour with six people instead of eight. The tour was fantastic! Thanks to Nate! (Original) Die Tour mit unserem Guide Nate war eine der aufregendsten Erfahrungen, die wir je gemacht haben. Es wird geklettert, sich abgeseit und durch enge Gänge gekrochen. Ein Mindestmaß an körperlicher Fitness sollte man jedoch mitbringen, auf unserer Tour mit 8 Gästen hatte der erste Gast den Aufstieg zur Höhle abbrechen müssen. Ein zweiter Gast traute sich nicht durch die erste enge Passage zu kriechen, so dass wir die 4 stündige Tour mit 6 statt 8 Leuten gemacht haben. Die Tour war fantastisch! Danke an Nate!
