Caving!
With
no previous experience required, caving is suitable for just about
anyone. Many people wonder if they'll become claustrophobic in a
cave. This is very unlikely. People who are claustrophobic wouldn't
even entertain the idea of caving , let alone think about giving it a
go. There are some tight places you have to wriggle through but they
are generally very short and not unlike crawling under a bed. It is
quite a physical activity but lots of fun and a truly unique
experience.
Why do Caving with Us?
We're a bunch of Cavers who take caving very seriously.
we're the people who run your Caving

tackling exciting rapids and floating down the clear water river amidst a lush
rainforest. You will ride the continuous rapids graded from class I-III, and

check that the helmets and life jackets provided fit you well
and are not too tight or too loose.

If you've over-turned close to the river bank, don't use your
raft paddle, as you may hit someone else. Do not attempt to use
the paddle as a lever against rocks as you risk getting hit by
it.
The
following are some points to remember:
Bring a
change of clothes. A warm-up jacket is also a good idea.
Wear
well-fitting shoes or diving booties
Jewellery

to cut down the risk of their lenses getting contaminated by
river water.
