This full day experience combines two exhilarating adventures; white-water rafting and adventure caving! both of which are our most popular experiences. Your adventure will begin when you meet your guides and the rest of your tour group. You will kit up in your safety equipment and set out on the beautiful Yarra River. Surrounded by native bushland, gorges and valleys, you'll navigate exciting grade 2 rapids. Paddle over raging waters and waves and have a tonne of fun negotiating the twists and turns. Tackle Bob's Rock and pinball rapid as you challenge your paddling skills.

Next up it's adventure caving. Get ready to explore the depths of the earth and wade through subterranean rivers, marvel at the phosphorus glow worms, cross chasms and explore the caverns of this unique granite boulder cave! Adventure caving is a great way to see the Earth from a totally different perspective. As you venture into the darkness with only your torch, you really do feel like an adventurer as you make your way into the pitch-black cave it really is like another world down there. You will spend your time underground exploring the fascinating sights of this alien underground world. Remember this is not your average guided walk-around caving experience- this is adventure caving! You will be crawling on your hands and knees, scrambling over rocks, sliding, navigating some tight spaces, exploring hidden caverns and getting wet and muddy. This adventure can be quite physical but guaranteed it is worth the effort

These caves have everything required for a fantastic caving experience, in fact there are only 5 known caves like this one in Victoria which makes it quite special, formed over thousands of years of water erosion these huge granite boulders jumbled on top of each other make this caving adventure a thrilling experience and houses a unique eco system of glow worms, cave crickets and fungi.

Fantastic adventure day of rafting and caving

Claire 20 March 2022

From day 1 of booking this adventure the experience was great. There were some issues with my booking going through, and both the redballoon customer service team and Paul were both proactively reaching out to me and each other to fix it, so I was never worried. The day itself was fantastic. It was run very smoothly, with the perfect time for each activity. Paul ran the day in a fun and professional day, and the activities were so fun, I would highly recommend this to everyone!

Awesome day out!

Shaun 26 February 2022

Both instructors were great and the whole day was amazing! Would highly recommend.

Incredible experience

Sam 22 December 2021

Thank you to Paul and the team for an incredible day of rafting and caving! The whole day went really smoothly and couldn't have been better. It was really fun drifting down the river and Paul was great at guiding us on the rapids. Then onto the caving in the afternoon! I was pretty nervous before going but it was such a great experience in the end. Moving through the caves was exhilarating and challenging but truly rewarding. It was my first time going and would highly recommend to anyone.

Insane experience

The white water rafting was amazing, super fun! The caving was such a challenge but was abasolutely amazing, and probably one of the greeting things I have ever achieved!

Great experience!

White water rafting and caving

White water rafting was awesome with plenty of laughs. The caving with tight squeezes in the darkness was exhilarating. Would highly recommend to do both of these experiences.

Fantastic guides. Rafting was a lot of fun without being too taxing for the beginners in the group. Caving was challenging with plenty of options for the more/less adventurous.
