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.

A friend organized this cave tour and I was a little unsure of how it go. Surprising fun and educational adventure. Mainly due to the professional guides and high safety standards. I felt safe in this strange environment and enjoy the adventure. I would recommend to anyone wondering about trying this activity.

What can I say other than “WOW!”? Reflecting back on our experience with friends, we realized just how unique and incredible this adventure truly was. We enjoyed every single moment.
Huge shout-out to Brent: thank you for treating us like adults who can make our own choices, without trying to instill fear or hesitation. In many tours, choices are often “suggested” based on perceived ability, but you allowed us to embrace each challenge as it came. The whole experience was educational, fun, and lighthearted—truly unforgettable. I can’t recommend this experience enough.
I discovered so much about my own limits, all thanks to the supportive, carefree atmosphere you created for our group. The knowledge you shared was invaluable, and your demeanor was perfect. I felt challenged in a way that pushed me to grow without ever feeling afraid. This speaks volumes about the quality of the tour and the guidance you provided.
Thank you for an experience we’ll never forget—one we’ll be talking about for years to come!

The wife and I are adventurous and booked this experience as we had never been caving, other than the usual guided path tours. It was an amazing experience! The hike up the mountain to the cave was an indicator that this was not your typical cave tour. After a brief rest we were ready to gear up and start our caving adventure. Our guide Brent was wonderful and patient with our group. He was thorough in his directions and detailing what to expect next. The trip through Rats Nest cave was filled with many interesting things to see as well as the opportunity to crawl on your back and belly through small openings. The rappel down a sixty feet vertical descent was exciting. Brent again was patient and thorough with his guidance to ensure everyone was confident and able to perform this safely. It was an overall fantastic experience that we heartily recommend to anyone willing to take on the adventure. I will admit it was a strenuous undertaking as I was exhausted after making it back to the cave entrance. Would we do it again? H*** yeah!
