Fast Moving Action

Fast Moving Action

Bring your sense of Humour - this cave plays tricks on you. The course in the cave feels like a plumber’s fantasy – a three dimensional “S-Bend” with a few extra loops thrown in to make life even more interesting.

So you’re required to “go down the plug-hole” and get yourself through the system…a relatively bruising encounter with a cave. Includes a series of abseils mostly in waterfalls; rock climbing; ladders groveling grabbing giggling and gangling.

This is unlike anything else you can do in NZ. It’s SO different it makes a great combo with any other caving activity.

Sights To See Along The Way

Sights To See Along The Way

The above ground location is a beautiful landscape of farmland with native forest planted by us to help look after the climate and also the caves underneath. A very pretty cave with wonderful delicate formations. See glowworms close up.

In addition to Stalactites; Stalagmites and Columns we’ve got Helictites (sideways) not to mention the more reclusive Arachnids and Invertebrates

The guides will say enough to look after you & the cave but really the cave does the talking – just make sure you keep your eyes & ears open. You will come out thinking “Wow – did that really just happen?!”
