Horne Lake Caves, Vancouver Island, B.C. Canada

2008 Caving Programs 

Have a look UNDER Vancouver Island and see amazing crystal formations and ancient fossils. Climb an underground waterfall! Visitors to this unique park can explore on their own or try one of the award-winning guided tours. There is something for everyone with visits that range from easy Family Cave Tours to the extreme "Underground Rappel" expeditions offered at various times throughout the year.     

PRE-TRIP PLANNING - The caves at Horne Lake are largely undeveloped. In keeping with the natural theme, none of the caves have permanent lighting or sidewalks and the floors are rocky and uneven. The tours are NOT for children under 5. Due to the terrain, the very elderly or those with limited mobility may have difficulty on the trails or in the caves. The temperature inside the caves is cool (8 degrees Celsius or 48 degrees Fahrenheit) even when the weather is hot and sunny so please bring warm clothes and sturdy boots or running shoes. Cameras are welcome!
