This is for the Explorer in you. Few experiences inspire as much awe as Caving (a.k.a. Spelunking), which lets you discover and marvel at the secrets nature hides beneath the surface.

Victoria has a maze of subterranean caves open to everyone drawn to mystery and adventure. If you count yourself among them, this is a trip you cannot miss. It's the journey of a lifetime.

Your Caving adventure begins with a short talk on safety, and the granite boulder cave formation you'll be exploring. What follows is your climactic entrance into the cave - a slow, unforgettable descent into the depths and darkness of the earth. The silence is unreal, the air thick with anticipation. You can't help but wonder - and be excited about - what you're about to see.

The sights won't disappoint. Everything from remarkable rock formations and cave dwelling creatures will catch your eye. Phosphorous 'glow' worms, cave crickets, crevices leading to destinations you can't even imagine - all so unusual, so compelling.

You'll see wonder after wonder as you navigate your way out. You'll get wet and muddy, but you'll barely notice as your Caving adventure surprises you at every turn.

Throughout your experience, you'll recall the dreams you had as a kid of being like Indiana Jones, living a life filled with discovery and excitement. Once you've exited the cave, those fantasies will no longer seem hopelessly out of reach.

By then, you'll have your own story to tell, and the inspiration to be part of many more.

I thought that level 2 meant I would be walking into the cave and exploring big rooms. I was suprised and somehow panicky when I saw the entry hole in the ground! However the amazing guide and teamwork of all the partcipants made it a safe and unforgettable experience! I was encouraged to attempt the unnerving bits especially the one where I had to hold my breath under water and squeeze out throgh the rocks to the other side! I was hyperventilating and all I could hear was my heart beating line crazy! I was the last one to go through and I made it thanks to the lovely suppotive team that was waiting for me on the other side, assisting me non stop. I was so proud of myself and I was so glad to hear them cheer and clap for me as I emerged from the water head first gasping for breath! I felt as if I was being born! That experience was the highlight of my holidays! I feel so alive, fulfilled and satisfied! At the age of 44 with 5 children of my own I was feeling like I was stagnating! Thanks for this wonderful program Adrenalin people!
