There are places on this planet that very few get to witness. This is one of them, and only we take you here. 🌍

đź“Ť This is the Lost World, a 100m abseil down surrounded by thick greenery and towering stone walls that feels like descending into a different world. Once inside you get to experience the natural beauty of the cave system, with great stalagmites and flowstone surrounding you, and glowworms covering portions of the ceiling. Not only is it beautiful, it's an adventure unlike any other, full of underground abseils, rocks to be clambered over, rushing water to climb and wade through, and moments to test you in the best possible way.

If this is your kind of adventure, it's time to join us in our underground playground.

No matter how many times you step into the caves, the feeling never gets old.
From lush cave walls adorned with greenery and sunbeams filtering through the canopy, to ancient rock formations, rushing water, and that quiet, absolute darkness you only find deep underground.
Here are a few of our favorite moments from this past week.

It's been a slower start to spring but the foggy mornings are giving way to sunbeams that reach the cave floor. ✨
What excites you the most about heading underground, is it the dramatic abseiling, stunning natural scenery, intense caving action, or the chance to meet Aggro the eel?

If you’ve done our Lost World Half Day trip, you’ll remember the exit climb.
Well, we’ve recently revamped the top section and wanted to give you a quick look.
Don't worry, the classic 30m ladder climb is still there to earn your way out, but once you reach the top we’ve updated the layout and added a new set of steps to traverse the final stretch out of the cave.

Who’s ready to come test out the new and improved route?
