When we were there, we ran into quite a few families, as well as travelers, many of whom appeared to be ready to spend much of the day there. Super chill and just gorgeous. Don't miss.

Ben pushed me to expand my boundaries in the kayak and gain levels of experience I didn't think I would achieve. Anna showed me the flora and fauna of the area that I would not have otherwise noticed. Laura showed me how to slow down and appreciate all that the area has to offer. Bender kept us so full every day of the trip. The food was delicious and so plentiful that I could not have possibly eaten any more. I was completely satisfied with the vegetarian fare that was served at the sit down meals every day. The cabins were cozy and I was never too cold. The sauna and hot tub were always good and hot, so after a paddle I was able to warm up. The staff went out of their way every day to ensure everyone's comfort and safety. All in all it was a great trip. Thank you wild coast for putting on such a great time for me and my crew!

We went on the guided 3 hour "Ice Age Adventure" tour. Our tour guide was amazing!! She was very educational with the history, facts, and preservation efforts. She was experienced, attentive and overall fun to be with. We explored a series of marble passages and crystal caverns created by the power of "The Ice Age". The experience was amazing! We were crawling and schootching through tight passage ways. We even climbed an underground waterfall!! Wow, the amazing crystals formations were breathtaking. My pictures do not do them justice; you simply just have to see it for yourself!! Dress warm, as it does get a little chilly inside the cave, wear boots or sturdy shoes and know you are going to get a little wet! Take a waterproof durable camera! Also, if possible some gloves can be very helpful. They provide the helmets with a light. Hydrate and have a balanced meal, you will be hiking to the cave as well as climbing and crawling inside. They offer an education center featuring geology information, a small museum and fossil display. They have a small theater, so visitors can learn more about this unique environment without having to enter the caves. Snacks and souvenirs can also be purchased. Other above-ground opportunities include a self-guided walk through the amazing surface geology on the new "Phil Whitfield Interpretive Trail" that highlights interesting surface features explained in a self-guiding brochure. The drive to Horne Lake Caves Provincial Park takes you on an unpaved road for a few miles; don't be worried, it is part of the adventure!!
