Overview

The Canmore Rat's Nest Cave Explorer Tour lasts 4.5 hours and takes place near Canmore, Canada. The tour begins with a 30 to 40-minute uphill hike on a mountain trail to reach the entrance of Rat's Nest Cave, one of Canada's longest caves. Participants spend approximately 2 to 2.5 hours underground exploring the cave with an expert guide. During the exploration, guests crawl past prehistoric bones, examine ancient rock formations, and may choose to navigate narrow sections called the warm-up and challenge squeezes. All necessary caving equipment, including helmets and safety harnesses, is provided. Safety harnesses have size limits of 46 inches (116 cm) waist and 33 inches (84 cm) leg circumference. The activity involves scrambling, crawling, squeezing, and sliding through the cave passages. Hotel pickup and drop-off are not included but can be arranged separately by taxi with advance notice. The tour requires a minimum of two participants and may be canceled if minimum numbers are not met, with alternatives or refunds offered. This moderately strenuous activity is not recommended for pregnant women beyond their first trimester.
