Underwater Rafting Adventure

Dive into an extraordinary 4-hour experience exploring the breathtaking Nile River Cave System, hidden in the untouched wilderness of Paparoa National Park. Your journey begins at the Underworld Adventure Centre in Charleston, where your expert guide will gear you up with wetsuits, socks, boots, gloves, and helmets—everything you need for this unforgettable trip.

A short ride on the charming Nile River Rainforest Train will whisk you into the lush West Coast rainforest. Towering limestone cliffs frame this enchanting landscape, setting the scene for what’s to come. After a brief walk, you'll arrive at the cave entrances perched high above the Nile River, ready to step into a secret underground world.

Leaving the daylight behind, you'll enter a mesmerising subterranean wonderland filled with delicate stalactites, stalagmites, and vast chambers. As you navigate a labyrinth of passages and descend into the heart of this ancient multi-level cave system, your guide’s fascinating stories and insights will bring this fragile, precious environment to life.

The journey takes a magical turn as you reach the cave’s lower level, where an underground river leads you to a glowing galaxy of glow-worms. Under this sparkling underground night sky, you’ll gently float along the river, using only the natural light of these tiny luminescent creatures to guide you.

As you emerge from the cave into daylight, the adventure continues with a relaxed tubing ride down the Nile River’s gentle rapids, surrounded by lush rainforest and dramatic limestone cliffs. Finally, the Rainforest Train carries you back to Charleston, leaving behind this hidden paradise—but with memories that will last a lifetime.

This award-winning adventure is truly one of a kind. Don’t miss the chance to experience it for yourself!
