After a short shuttle ride, follow a backcountry trail through Boreal forest before reaching the entrance to the Corner Brook caves. These caves were formed by the Corner Brook stream which still runs through part of the cave system. Climb down an approximately seven foot (two-meter) rock face (with assistance) to enter the caves and proceed through the underground tunnels. Next you’ll enter the part of the cave system that contains the stream where you’ll manage to stay dry by climbing the path alongside the stream. The next section of the cave will require wading. This water may reach your knees depending on your height and you’ll get soaked!
At one point the stream will get too deep to stand and you'll have the choice to swim or walk around and meet up with the swimmers on the other side. The height of the caves range from big caverns several meters high to narrow passages high enough to allow people to just comfortably slide through on their belly or back and be able to remain and move in a ducked stance. A certain level of mobility is required to move through the narrower passages and a fear of dark enclosed spaces needs to be considered.
Note: Polyester/nylon t shirts and pants are suggested as cotton and jeans get heavy when wet. Study shoes are also recommended and keep in mind that they will get wet. Helmets and headlamps are provided. Participants must be at least 8 years of age, not pregnant, weigh no more than 220 lbs. (approximately 100 kg) and not be taller than 7 feet (2 meters) in height. Must be in good physical condition, able to bend, move around and lift their weight with assistance. All participants will be required by the operator to sign an English language waiver prior to the start of the adventure. less
