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.

Me and my 13 year old son went caving last week. It was an amazing, unforgettable life experience. Our guide Gabby was great, she was intelligent, safe, patient, kind, funny and just a great person. 100 percent recommend a unforgettable experience.

(Translated by Google) A truly fantastic experience that I had with my son on our road trip. We'd never been in a cave like that before, let alone with the full program of climbing, crawling, and sliding. An extraordinary adventure, expertly guided by our very experienced and knowledgeable tour leader. We descended in a small group of eight people. Even on the way to the cave entrance, we had to cross a small path with a stream and then put on our hiking gear. Since we only then realized that we were both missing harnesses in our packed backpacks, she expertly provided us with some. The tour in the cave lasted about 2.5 hours and was very worthwhile and informative. Old clothes are a good idea, even though you're given a red jumpsuit. In some places, it's a bit challenging to move through the narrow passages and pull yourself up and down. Since it's also wet in the cave, you have to watch your step. Our guide told us details about the cave and its history at many points along the way and explained the different ways we could move around inside it. Even with my limited English, I felt very safe and comfortable. I highly recommend this tour to anyone traveling to Canmore or Banff. Thank you so much for the wonderful experience and best regards from Germany. (Original) Eine super großartige Erfahrung die ich mit meinem Sohn erleben durfte im Roadtrip. Wir waren noch nie in so einer Höhle. Geschweige mit vollem Programm klettern, krabbeln und rutschen. Ein außergewöhnliches Abenteuer, die unsere Reiseleiterin, sehr erfahren und sachkundig zeigen durfte. Wir sind in einer kleinen Gruppe von 8 Leuten hinabgestiegen. Schon auf dem Hinweg zum Höhleneingang mussten wir einen kleinen Weg mit Bach ĂŒberqueren und uns dann "Bergkleidersachen" anziehen. Da uns hier erst auffiel, dass hier uns beiden Haltegurte in den gepackten RucksĂ€cken fehlten, hat Sie fachmĂ€nnisch uns welche organisieren können. Die Tour hat ungefĂ€hr 2,5h in der Höhle gedauert und war sehr sehenswert und informativ. Alte Klamotten sind sinnvoll, auch wenn man einen roten Overall bekommt. An manchen Stellen ist es ein wenig herausfordernd, um sich durch die engen Stellen zu bewegen und auch ab bzw. wieder hochzuziehen. Da es auch nass in der Höhle ist, muss man schauen, wo man sich hinbegibt. Unsere FĂŒhrerin erzĂ€hlte uns an vielen Stationen Details zur Höhle und Geschichte und erklĂ€rte uns wie wir uns in der Höhle mit verschiedenen Möglichkeiten bewegen. Auch mit meinen gebrochenen Englischkenntnissen habe ich mich sehr sicher gefĂŒhlt. Ich kann diese Tour jedem, der nach Canmore oder Banff reist, sehr empfehlen. Vielen Dank fĂŒr die großartigen Erlebnisse und ganz viele GrĂŒĂŸe aus Deutschland.

We did the "Adventure Tour", and it truly is an incredible adventure. You will get dirty, it will be a little scary/challenging in certain places, and it does require upper body strength to pull yourself through tight spaces and up and down certain points. Wet conditions can make the cave a bit tougher to navigate as you have to be more selective in your foot and hand hold placements. This is not a "show cave" with lights, staircases, and guard rails. It allows you to get up close and personal with the rocks, bones, darkness, and natural artifacts found in a cave. The cave is massive and you will get to visit approximately 10% of the overall cave system. Our guide, Gabby, was incredible throughout our journey, stopping to explain various formations, geological tidbits, and historical facts. On top of that, she made us feel safe utilizing the ropes, harnesses, hand/foot holds, and additional equipment at our disposal. I do not recommend this tour if you are tired, out of shape, have any type of medical condition, or are not comfortable in dark/tight spaces. All of that said, if you aren't afraid of getting a little dirty, this is a fantastic adventure and a unique experience that shouldn't be missed if you're in the Canmore area.

Caving experience was amazing!!!! Our guide Annie was very informative and helpful as well as a lot of fun! This cave system is quite large and plenty to explore. We did the Adventure tour which was well worth the value offered. Highly reccomend!!

This was amazing! Our guide was fantastic, the communication leading up to the tour was very clear, and we felt well prepared. The hike was challenging but beautiful and well worth it! Our experience in the caves was fantastic. Very safe but still a moderate level of difficulty to get around which made it very fun. My kids (11 and 14) were very nervous but loved every minute of the cave tours. They even challenged themselves by doing some of the tight squeezes. The caves were beautiful to see. I highly recommend this tour for anyone travelling to Canmore or Banff.

(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.
