    I spent 3.5 hours in the caves and that was one of the best things in New Zealand so far.

    You have to be adventurous and in some parts it is very wet, muddy and narrow.

    Most awesome experience so far!

    It took us 3.5 hours to explore everything and to find two other hidden exits. Sometimes very dangerous (slippery!) but really, really great!

    Enjoyed it to explore the caves by myself.

    Completely natural, no tourists and just stunning inside!
