We start our adventure by travelling west towards the mountains across the flat farmland of the Canterbury Plains. We make a stop after 45mins at the “Darfield Bakery” (We will provide lunch, but you might like to sample a classic Kiwi pie or coffee) before continuing our journey to Castle Hill/Kura Tawhiti. After stopping at Lake Lyndon for morning tea, the tour continues onto Cave Stream Scenic Reserve, where you will get ready to go caving. It will take approximately 45 minutes to an hour to make your way through the 594 metres of the limestone cave. Our route follows the crystal-clear water through winding chambers, high passages and rock steps. The final section has a 3-meter fixed ladder to climb out of the cave and back into the daylight. Lunch will be laid out before beginning the journey back towards Christchurch & Lyttelton. If time allows, you will have the opportunity to visit Kura Tawhiti Senic Reserve and explore the giant limestone boulders.
