After some breakfast the tour guide turned up to collect the people for the day. We started of doing a historic drive showing where the trail to the south went through the mountains and observing scarring on the mountains from where the US bombed the area to try and stop supplies.

Our first cave was Paradise Cave, which was huge and impressive in it size. We had a 500m walk up a mountain to get to the entrance and on enter you walk straight into a huge area which would fit a jumbo inside. After walking through this you then turn off to the small passage of the cave and you get to walk about 1km into the cave. The whole place was very impressive and if it was a different time of the year you can do a guided tour 7km into the cave. If it was that time of the year I would definitely have done it.

After some lunch we moved onto the dark cave, this cave is no where near the size of the other cave, but has no built in lighting. From where you park and get ready the cave in on the other side of the rive, so you start off by getting in a life jacket and harness and then climb a three story tower. You then take a fun flying fox for a 200 meters to the bank on the other side of the river. From here you get in the water and swim to the entrance of the cave. Once inside the cave you remove your harness and life jacket and get lead into a small passage going off the main chamber. As you walk further into this passage the walls get wetter and the ground gets muddy.

After about a 5 minute walk you slide down a ledge and you are all of a sudden knew deep in mud and this is where the fun begins. You move and further through the tunnel until it opens up into a bigger room completely full of about 1 meter of mud. You quickly get completely covered in mud and discover if you lay down you actually float onto of the mud. After a bout 5 minutes of fun in the mud with the guide taking photos with his waterproof camera you find your way out again.

Then we had the choice of kayaking or swimming back to the other side, after getting back to the other side we then had a couple of goes of a smaller flying fox which you just dropped into the water at the end and then got changed and had a couple of end of day beers.

The rest of the night was just spent at the hostel having dinner, a few drinks and talking about the adventures of the day.
