About this activity
The Adventure Tour has been recognized as a Canadian Signature Experience. As the longest tour we offer in Rat’s Nest Cave, the Adventure Tour is the complete package. Cavers will rappel 18m (that’s 6 Stories!) inside the cave, plus have the opportunity to push your limits in the warm-up squeeze, challenge squeeze, and the Laundry Chute – a section of the cave that adds a little extra challenge but a whole lot of extra fun.
What you will do
Visit Rat's Nest Cave, one of the longest caves in Canada! While underground Cavers will rappel down an 18 m drop, crawling, climbing and scrambling over rough terrain to navigate your way to The Grande Gallery & The Grotto! There will be some small space wriggles and squeezes offered adding to your "Caver For The Day" Experience. You will spend approximately 4 hours underground on the Adventure Tour and we promise it will be an unforgettable 4 hours!
