The underground world of Jenolan Caves, with its rivers and maze-like caverns is one of the final frontiers for the explorer in us all. But when you're caving don't expect ladders, handrails and guide lights, the caves you'll be exploring are wild and have no adornments – well, none under 100,000 years old, anyway!

Caving is a technically diverse sport utilising skills and equipment from rock-climbing, abseiling and sometimes SCUBA diving. The entrances are generally small holes in the ground – sometimes you'll crawl into them, often you'll have to abseil in. Once inside, the caves are like a subterranean playground. During a typical caving expedition there are pitches to climb, tunnels to crawl through and pools of water so clear you can see formations, fathoms beneath the surface.

Decked out in overalls, helmets and headlights, caving adventures begin with a safety and equipment briefing. You'll enter Plughole Cave by abseiling (weather permitting) into the "Sinkhole" then caving into Elder Cave to negotiate a series of climbs, crawls and tight squeezes, before worming your way through the "S-bend" tunnels. This is an unforgettable two-hour introductory caving adventure that you’ll always remember.

I had an amazing time. Sasha and Lochie were engaging, entertaining and informative. It was good to do something I would never have normally done. Squeezing through tight holes and formations was exciting and the abseiling was fun. It was also great to meet new people and w had an awesome group. We loved it so much we are headed back to do the Aladdin cave next month!
