This was the highlight of... - This was the highlight of my trip to Canmore/Banff. The caving tour was both challenging and incredibly fun. I had to push myself in ways I didn’t expect, and I loved that.
Our guide, Adam, was exceptional. His clear instructions, calm presence, and attention to safety made the whole experience feel adventurous but totally manageable. I felt supported every step (and crawl) of the way.
This was a new kind of experience for me, and I’m so glad I did it.

Great adventure with preteens - Great experience with this company and our guide, John. He was the right mix of competent, safe and entertaining. My kids (pre teens) enjoyed themselves. Definitely a memorable experience.

Truly unique experience - We went with two adults and an 11 year old. First, I’ll warn you that this is an adventure that requires a bit of stamina, strength, and definitely no claustrophobia. My 11 yo was able to complete it, but it was challenging even for my minimal to moderate in shape self. John was our guide and key to the whole experience since he did such a wonderful job ensuring we were safe the whole time. You’re in a cave with harnesses and carabiners climbing down and then don’t forget climbing back up! All this after a 30 min uphill hike that in April was minimally snowy. If that hasn’t scared you off, then do it because you will see and do things you’ve literally never seen before. We had a blast. Came back to the hotel dusty and starving, but everyone was happy. Highly recommend.

Very interesting - A very interesting experience, follow the guide to explore the cave, you can see prehistoric bones and rocks, and also see some cave creatures. In response to the inner structure of the cave, different approaches were tried. The guide will be patient to guide and introduce, when you want to take photos will also wait for the shooting to finish to move forward, very careful

DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE - Worst experience ever! Tour guide was not very friendly! Horrible time with the group itself! Would rather do this alone!
