A person who likes to explore caves is called a "caver" - if he or she is studying caves' scientific aspects, a "speleologist".
Caving is the amateur activity or sport of exploring caves. It was once known as 'spelunking' in the United States and Canada and 'potholing' (from the old Northern English term "pothole" for a cave whose entrance is a shaft open to the surface) in the United Kingdom and Ireland.
A person doing this activity is now generally a Caver: Spelunker and Potholer have fallen out of use though "Pothole" survives in a few Northern English caving-club names..
Speleology is the term for the study of caves, whether by amateur or professional scientists.

What is the name of someone who explores caves?
A Caver. One who studies caves & their contents scientifically is a Speleologist - though many still call themselves cavers out of modesty, and use "speleology" to describe the science! Some Answer-ers would reply "spelunker" - a word I have never seen in caving literature. From Wikipedia at least, although the word was coined from a mixture of Latin and Greek by an American caving club in the 1940s, but not adopted outside of the US, it started to become derogatory in the 1960s, according to American cavers.
