Overview

Join us for a hike to see two of Vancouver Island's most amazing Waterfalls. These 2 very different and wild falls are part of salmon-bearing rivers and are not only impressive, but also a crucial part of our ecosystem. While in the Mid Island, you wouldn't want to miss the Island's most popular sight; Cathedral Grove. Your guide will lead you through the Old Growth giant trees and share their knowledge of our local ancient Rainforest. Finish off the day with an amazing and fun underground 1h30 caving tour at Horne Lake Caves. These are wild and natural caves, meaning no boardwalk, handrails or overhead lights. You will be equipped with a headlamp to explore the underground caverns following professional caving guides and marvelling at the beautiful karst formation featuring calcite stalactites and waterfalls. This tour is suitable for all ages, but be aware of your physical limitations as we will be outdoors, active and caving over variable terrain.

Pickup Information
