Clearwater Connection
Minimum age is 16 years old.
Clearwater Connection is a 4.8km long trip and takes 6 to 8 hours to complete. Beginning in the show cave section of the Cave of the Winds adventurers leave the tame pathways behind and venture into the ‘wild’ chambers over rugged terrain strewn with boulders that requires some climbing up then clambering down muddy slopes and swimming back and forth across the underground river.
Areas that are hazardous have fixed ropes and guides carry personal ropes to assist you in sections that require climbing. For many the 1.5km river section is the highlight as it is exceptionally beautiful and refreshing after the hard caving.
*Ability to swim is essential. *Bring your own headlight & lunch pack.
