HORNE LAKE CAVES

LEVEL OF ACTIVITY: 2/3 Moderate/Strenuous Activity

TOUR DESCRIPTION: Calling all you cavers! Vancouver Island has some amazing caves and cave systems. Horne Lake Caves Provincial Park has been voted the #1Best Natural Outdoor Site in British Columbia! On our guided tour by a Horne Lake Cave expert to the Riverbend cave where access is only permitted by guided tours you will see some amazing timeless cave and crystal formations. This cave was closed to the public in the 1970’s to stop any vandalism from occurring. Certain crystal formations are estimated to be thousands of years old. Your guide’s commentary also includes geology and history of the local caves. After exploring the Riverbend cave, there are two other caves to explore non-guided at your leisure. We will enjoy our snacks on the beach picnic site at Horne Lake.
