Kayaking and caving
description
First up it's kayaking!
Your adventure will begin when you meet your guides and the rest of your tour group. You will kit up in your safety equipment and be briefed on how to paddle and steer your kayak before setting out on the beautiful Yarra River.
Paddle through stunning gorges and valleys filled with native bushland and wildlife. As you snake your way down the river you will negotiate the twists and turns of thrilling rapids and fast flowing grade 1-2 white-water.
This kayaking adventure is guaranteed to get the heart pumping and the adrenaline flowing. Great fun for Summer and winter!
For bigger white-water and rapids, we recommend coming along on this kayaking adventure in winter months! The water level is generally much higher and faster flowing with large waves and surging holes! Awesome fun and highly recommended!
Next up it's adventure caving
Get ready to explore the depths of the earth You will wade through subterranean rivers, crawl through some tight squeezes, climb over chasms, slide down boulders and view the beautiful glow worms.
As you venture into the darkness with only your helmet and headtorch, you really do feel like an adventurer. It really is like another world down there. You will spend your time underground exploring the fascinating sights of this alien underground world.
These caves have everything required for a fantastic caving experience. In fact, there are only 5 known caves like this one in Victoria, which makes it quite special. Formed over thousands of years of water erosion, these huge granite boulders jumbled on top of each other make this caving adventure a thrilling experience and houses a unique eco-system of glow worms, cave crickets and fungi amongst other things.
There are multiple exits and entries to the cave system, which enables even the most claustrophobic of people to have an enjoyable time.
Remember this is not your average guided walk-around caving experience- this is adventure caving! You will be crawling on your hands and knees, scrambling over rocks, sliding, navigating some tight spaces, exploring hidden caverns and getting wet and muddy. This adventure can be quite physical but guaranteed it is worth the effort.
