“I did the Black Abyss caving tour and it’s probably one of my best tourist experiences I’ve been on. We had amazing guides. Had a mix of adrenaline and magic. Lying in tubes in the dark surrounded by glowworms drifting down the water listening to a guide singing pokarekare ana. Hearing a guide so passionately telling us about all the different features and creatures. It was expensive but it was incredible.”
