We loved taking this tour. Its fun and spooky and thrilling all at once. There is nothing like being in a cave and experiencing the complete darkness. The repel is fun and the laundry chute is scary!! Lots of fun. More

The Canmore caverns is not to be missed. We had no idea the caves even existed until we visited the information building in Banff. Although we already had our entire week planned, we decided to give the caves a try. We we're not disappointed!
