Glow worm caves

Got up and checked the surf. Bit of a mushy white wash with strong cross winds so decided to go for a different activity. We were fairly close to the Glow worm caves so booked into one of those with abseiling and black water rafting. Arrived a bit early and had some lunch. Quite quickly some mega wind and rain came through. Our van was a rockin. Got kitted up and headed down into the cave. Had an initial 27m abseil then walked into the caves. Big eels everywhere. About 100m in we stopped and turned off the lights. Amazing number of little blue lights from the glow worm bioluminescence. Just like looking up at the stars. Then floated back down the stream on inner tubes. Slightly tricky climb to get out again. Wasnt allowed to take my camera down 😫.
By the time we got out, the weather had cleared up. We booked in for a 3 day rafting trip down the Wanganui river with a company that Curly reccomend. Drove towards there and stopped off in a free camp site, 20 mins down the road for the night.Leggi altro
