Must See! Must Do! New Zealand Caving!

in #travel7 years ago

Take a look at one of New Zealands stunning sites for caving.
Even for beginners and this one for free.
With amazing pools and natural counterflow for endless swimming in cold crystal clear mountain river water (exhausting).

See the entrance to the underworld? No movies here. Real business.
Get prepared watch the water level, put on your headlight, leave your wallet in the car, not too fancy clothing and a waterproof camera and most important you better don´t go alone.
