Caving Expedition - Waikaretu - Up to 3 people

Unusual birthday gift idea for the slightly adventurous.

Share a place of beauty and peace, far from the crowds. Enjoy gentle adventure exploring Nikau Cave - a kilometre of wonderful formations and thousands of glow-worms. You will both be more than just passive observers. As you stroll, climb and crawl your way through tunnels, you'll be met by a cathedral-like display of natural underground wonders.

At times you'll stand awe-struck in glowworm filled caverns lined with stalagmites and stalactites thousands of years old. At other parts of the journey you'll be on your hands and knees making your way along the bed of an ancient stream, filled with a sense of wonder and adventure. Only recently opened to the public, Nikau Cave offers a unique adventure only about an hour's drive south from Auckland on the West Coast.
