Your adventure begins when you meet your Ultimate Adventures guide in Horton-in-Ribblesdale, where you’ll get changed into your specialist caving equipment before heading towards the cave system.

​

Once there, your guide will provide a full safety briefing and introduce you to the techniques used for moving safely and confidently underground.

From here, the adventure begins as you explore a variety of underground passages, natural chambers and hidden cave features beneath the Yorkshire Dales.

​

Throughout the experience, you’ll encounter fun scrambling sections, underground streams and exciting cave formations while learning more about the fascinating underground landscape around you.

​

Depending on the cave system and your group’s confidence levels, there may also be opportunities to explore smaller passages and more adventurous sections.

​

This experience is designed to be flexible and enjoyable, allowing the route to be adapted to suit different ages and confidence levels wherever possible.

​

After emerging back to the surface, you’ll finish with unforgettable memories, a great sense of achievement and plenty of photos from your underground adventure.
