Imagine descending a rope into an amazing subterranean world, and exploring a part of the planet where many people never venture.
These caving trips require some fitness, strength and endurance, but you’ll forget all about any effort involved – and the world above – once you descend into the dark.
Your guides will supply all necessary training and specialist equipment like headlamps, helmets, harnesses and overalls to complete these trips.
You just need to bring a spirit for adventure and wear appropriate sports/outdoor clothing that wicks moisture away from your skin.
