Horne Lake Caves Provincial Park

The lake that is next to the caves is beautiful and there are several trails you can walk around. You can only access the big caves with a guide in order to protect them. They offer 6 different guided tours with different durations and intensity levels. Three out of the six tours are only offered during summer. The tour includes a helmet and if you ask nicely the rubber boots, which are really helpful when crossing water streams and heavy snow.

The tour we were on is geared towards school aged children. Exploring the cave was fun but really not worth the money they charge. That said if you have never been inside a cave it is a novel experience so I recommend it on that itself.

My family had a blast crawling through caves. I found out I was clastrophobic. The whole area is beautiful. Spend the money to do a guided tour.

We did the 1 hour cave experience rather than one of the longer tours. It was fun, and I felt gave us a good flavour of the caves and what caving is about. There are obviously some enclosed spaces, as well as some climbing and scrambling. Wear clothes that you don't mind getting dirty and footwear that is sturdy and gives a good grip. We didn't use gloves, but you can buy a pair from the shop for $5 - shame that there aren't rental gloves or that gloves don't just come included like the helmets do. Don't expect too much from the cave slide - it's very slow!

We did a 4 Hour Cave Tour on Sept 9, 2017. It was such an amazing caving experience with our knowledgeable guide John! John was absolutely amazing. He showed incredible patience, had lots of stories to tell and provided us with an all-around safe and SUPER FUN experience! I highly recommend him! Some tips: * Wear 2 - 3 layers as it gets cooler inside of the cave. You can shed layers if it gets too warm. * Wear a waterproof, light jacket. You are going to get wet and dirty. * Bring your own kneepads or rent them there for $6 each. THESE WERE A LIFE SAVER. * You are going to be crawling through some seriously tight spaces, again, WEAR KNEE PADS! * Wear clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting dirty. * If you are going to bring water, I recommend a camel pack or water pack that can hang from your neck that won't be bulky. There is no space for a backpack and you don't want to carry anything in your hands. I didn't bring water but wish I did, a 4 hour long experience is a bit too long for me without water. Some people can handle that though. * There is NO place to go to the washroom inside of the cave. There is the "bag of shame" that the guide can give you to do your business but you will have to carry it around yourself until you exit the cave. * There is NO ATM on site, bring cash ahead of time if you need it. * There is an outhouse on site, no running water washroom.
