This cave tour is the most adventurous tour in the park. Explorers will climb, crawl and rappel down the seven-story high (25 meter) underground waterfall called “The Rainbarrel” and enter into the most amazing “China Shop” room, completely surrounded by beautiful crystal formations. This expedition presents a full exploration of Riverbend Cave, from top to bottom. It involves climbing, crawling, cable ladders and rappelling in a wild cave environment instructed by certified cave guides. Age 15+ only and requires recent rappel experience for your comfort and safety. A 2-our outdoor rappel clinic is available daily

Session begins 15 min. early to gear-up and sign Liability Waivers. Includes a moderately strenuous UPHILL trail for 1km. (25 mins.), broken up by 5 informative stops. Explorers must pass through 3 crawl passages, about the same size as crawling under a picnic table. The guide will drain a submerged section of the cave (a crawl known as “the siphon”) in order for explorers to crawl into the second half of Riverbend Cave. This trip requires negotiating 5 different rope stations starting with a rappel of 5 metres, (15 ft.), climbing down a 5m. (15 ft.) cable ladder followed by a 8 metre (25 ft.) traverse line then a 20 metre (65 ft.) rappel, always secured by rope. Returning to the surface requires re-tracing your steps back up all the vertical drops, back through “the siphon” and the crawl-ways. Return to Visitor Centre via a steep downhill trail.
