The Lost World Half Day Adventure
Abseil 100m into the surreal Lost World. Descend slowly, suspended in the massive void. Mist-filtered light gives unreal qualities to the strange plants and formations. Then embark on an underworld trek and climb back through the majestic dry passages of the Mangapu cave system. The abseil (rappel) descent takes around 20 minutes of the total 4 hours required. Abseil slowly alongside your instructor who although on a separate rope provides information, reassurance ...and a backup safety tether. Imagine free-hanging in this massive void…bouncing a bit & turning because of the sheer length of the rope. Look around into upper levels of the cave and giant spagatites (look like giant green hands growing out of the walls). Weird plants struggle to cling to the sheer walls and all the while the roar of the Mangapu river echoes up from caverns far below. It feels like you’re descending into the bowels of some gigantic prehistoric beast…a sensory feast. One guide looks after up to 4 people - who all make their unforgettable descent together down through the surreal mists and eventually landing in the base of this massive cavern. Minimum age for this trip is 10 years old. All children must be accompanied an adult aged 18 years or older who is known to the child.
