Lost World Epic Abseil

For the last full day of our trip we headed to Waitomo to do the Lost World Epic cave adventure. We were outfitted with wet suits (bibs + jacket), gum boots, a harness, and a helmet with a headlamp. To enter the cave we had a 330 ft abseil off of a platform at the top of the large opening. The abseil was fun and we took our time getting down. The opening looked cool with the sunlight illuminating the plants on half of the cliffs while the sun rays beaming down made it look "misty" and gave it a touch of surrealism. After touching down we had lunch, accompanied by eels in the river, before moving in to the cave.
