Activities To Enjoy
A private and unique blackwater experience. Our groups are smaller, more fun and less hassle. Our exclusive cave is totally natural, no steel or concrete structures. We guarantee huge glow-worm displays in cathedral-size caverns and a 90% chance of rapids in wet months. Our cave water is warmer even in the winter months.

With an unbelievable 27 meter abseil into a huge chasm in the Earth, experience the refracted light highlighting the amazing plant and rock formations making this a truly awesome descent. Then you will cave upstream to the cathedral-style 400sq meter cavern where you will witness a glow-worm display that will absolutely take your breath away.

This is followed by a blackwater rafting trip downstream floating through caverns filled with more glow-worms that fill the cave with a soft blue light. Then there is the challenge of moving through the cave with the option of squeezing through passages until you reach the exit. The final challenge is a breathtaking 20-metre climb back to the rest of the world where a well-deserved hot shower awaits you.
