Explore a wild, undeveloped cave under Grotto Mountain

Fun for the whole friend group: experience Canada's Rocky Mountains from a completely different perspective with a tour through Rat’s Nest Cave. On this guided tour, you'll pass crystal clear pool and walls covered in stalactites and stalagmites.

Located close to Banff National Park, this guided cave tour is perfect for friends seeking a unique and active way to get to know the Canadian Rockies up close. Led by your experienced guide, you will be crawling together past prehistoric bones, investigating the ancient cave formations carved by water, and you can even squeeze into places like the warm-up or challenge squeezes.

You and your friends will learn about how caves are formed, the geology and history of the Bow Valley, discover and examine some of the local fossils, and much more. And make sure to keep an eye out for bighorn sheep and maybe even signs of a bear or a cougar!
