Spelunking feeds every appetite, from mild to wild. Start your journey with a short discovery walk through the forest to reach the cave entrance. Here you’ll begin a fascinating subterranean experience. As you creep, crawl and squeeze deeper into the cave, a new world of crystal formations, marbled surfaces and ancient fossils reveals itself. Test your personal limits using ramps, ladders and slid

es to navigate passages through a variety of caves. Listen to the sound of your guide’s voice, the steady drip of seeping surface water or the cascade of an unexpected waterfall. Turn off your headlamp to heighten your senses and absorb the power of complete darkness. It’s an intense, wild and transformative adventure. Our office is open for reservations and information from 10:00am to 4:30pm daily during the Winter and 9am - 5pm during the Summer. Tours can be reserved through the website or by calling the park office directly at (250) 248-7829.

Check out this article on why B.C.’s karst protection rules are outdated and in need of an urgent rewrite. It highlights the importance of better protecting the fragile cave systems and landscapes that make our region so unique!

Vancouver Island has some of British Columbia’s most well-known karst features — intricate geological features such as caves, sinkholes and rivers that disappear and reappear miles downstream — including the popular tourist attraction, Horne Lake Caves.
