Horne Lake Caves has an education center that can teach you about cave geology information, plus a small museum and fossil display. There is also a cave theatre where you can learn more about caves.
According to the brochure, you can go on a 90-minute family tour into the protected River Bend Cave, daily from 10 am to 5 pm from May to September. This tour will teach you the geology of the caves while exploring the larger and easier passageways and is available on a first-come, first-served basis from 10 am to 5 pm. Three-hour Adventure trips are also available daily throughout the year. Reservations are required for all tours and can be made by calling the Horne Lake Caves at 250-248-7829. Those wanting more adventure can try the 4-hour or 5-hour caving excursions offered at the park.
The ultimate caving challenge is the 5-hour excursion that has cavers rappel down a seven-story waterfall into the depths of a cave and then climb out on a cable ladder.
Whichever method of exploring the caves you choose, you are bound to be fascinated by this amazing underground world in the heart of Vancouver Island.
