As the name states, Adventure Caving is full on expedition style caving that takes you into the Te Tahi cave system. Fully equipped with harnesses, lights,

Following a short abseil practice, your adventure begins with a 130 ft abseil down a breath-taking shaft. The last of daylight fades as you begin with your guide to scramble through a dark abyss following a complex network of underground passages. Exploring, taking in this amazing place you and your companion carefully guided will scramble, crawl and abseil to reach the active waterways.
A rushing stream-way awaits once reached the deepest point of the cave where you and your team will chimney, bridge and climb waterfalls to traverse and start the ascent back to the surface. You will be surrounded by the sound and smell in an overwhelmingly exciting and powerful cave atmosphere.  On wriggling through the last fun filled squeeze, the cave opens up to a welcoming large series of chambers with one final climb to daylight and a well-hidden exit.

exploratory caving.
