Best FREE Thing to do in New Zealand! CAVE STREAM Scenic Reserve
A 594 m long cave within Cave Stream Scenic Reserve is one of the most outstanding natural features in the Canterbury region and one of the best free things to do in all of New Zealand. We returned with some friends to adventure our way through this amazing limestone tunnel cave. The amazing spot is off the famous Alpine Highway that goes from the East Coast of the South Island across the Southern Alps over to the legendary West Coast. This stunning cave took us about 45 minutes to complete while going at a real leisurely pace. The deepest pools are right at the beginning and the end of the cave. The cave passage meanders and twists in pitch darkness between the two entrances. There is a 3 m waterfall at the inlet end. Caving parties should have at least two reliable lights per person plus spare batteries, warm polypropylene or wool clothing, and sturdy footwear. Cavers are recommended to enter the cave at the outflow end and walk against the flow of the stream. There are several small waterfalls to climb. To assist climbing out the inlet end of the cave, a rung ladder ascends beside the waterfall. A chain and steps help to get along the overhang ledge to the exit. Scour holes, terraces and small waterfalls can be seen while going through the cave.
