Riverbend Cave Exploration With Family - Horne Lake Caves Tour

Vancouver Island is world famous for the biggest concentration of caves in the whole of North America. For the 1000 caves found and explored, the city has a good concentration of limestone caves than in any other Canadian province. Studies say that around 4% of the Island’s above-ground area is possessed of karst landscapes. This could be the major reason why the Island is nicknamed the ‘Island of Caves’.

Exploring Caves

Horne Lake Cave explorations get you a wonderful chance to see the mind-blowing underground world that many people have not experienced. Caving is all about exploring the magic of stalagmites, crystal formations, stalactites, underground waterfalls, and primeval fossils. Riverbend Cave Explorer is the best place to start!

Things to consider

• Tours to Horne Lake caves take you to the underground where it is cold and the deeper you go, the colder you will be. Therefore, you should dress appropriately.

• Rocks in the caves are uneven and can be wet and slippery. Go with hiking boots, rubber boots, or running shoes.

• Wear clothes like long-sleeve shirts, long pants, sweatshirts, etc, and remember you will get dirty. So, choose to dress accordingly.

• If you choose rappelling sections or longer Horne Lake cave tours, save your hands with gardening or neoprene gloves.

• For vertical Horne Lake tours, knee and elbow pads are recommended.

• Take a camera that fits in your pocket or take your phone for some unique snaps underground.

• You need to keep your hands free. So, no backpacks, no water bottles and snacks. Bring something that you can carry or place in your pockets.

So, go for the unique experience in your life. Enjoy the exploration and go home with a lot of memories.
