Canmore Cave Tours
Take an unforgettable four hour tour underground with Canmore Cave Tours. Explore the Grand Gallery, the largest known room in Rat’s Nest Cave, after you rappel six stories down into the earth. Cavers will have the opportunity to push their limits in the warm-up squeeze, the challenge squeeze, and the laundry chute, a section of the cave that adds extra challenge but also a lot of fun. End your tour by seeing The Grotto, a chamber full of stalactites and stalagmites with a crystal clear pool at the bottom of the cave.
Sightseeing tours
Discover Banff Tours offers a locally-guided tour that will take you to out of the way historical, picturesque, and natural destinations in the comfort of a small tour bus. This popular half day sightseeing tour visits Bow Falls, Banff Springs Hotel, several lookouts, and Lake Minnewanka. Learn how the history of the Bow Valley changed when three railway workers rediscovered the Cave and Basin, now a National Historic Site. Be on the lookout for wildlife as you take short walks to different viewpoints.
