Discovered in 1897 and used as a show cave until the 1940`s, with some of the most beautiful formations to be seen at Jenolan. The cave is semi-developed in the lower sections and some climbing is involved in the upper areas. Aladdin boasts an extraordinary display of colour and decoration in its lower chambers. Crawl commando style through the upper sections, traverse across muddy cave walls and slip down a natural slide in the playground of this active cave. Climb, stretch, scamper and dodge your way through stalagmite and stalactites that have formed over thousands upon thousands of years. After surfacing from the Aladdin, readjust to the concept of sunlight and hike back down the mountainside. The adventure is approximately three hours of serious fun....

Caving Adventure Mammoth Cave Intermediate - Jenolan Caves Sydney Description: Discovered in 1882, Mammoth Cave is the most extensive in the Jenolan complex. Exploring Mammoth will have you underground for approximately 6 hours and involves extensive climbing, crawling, scrambling, squeezes and some cave ladder work. The cave can be muddy, wet and slippery but the beautiful large caverns and the underground Lower River make it all worthwhile. On arrival to Jenolan Caves you will meet your guides and get kitted out in overalls, kneepads, helmet and head torch. Setting off you will pass by the spectacular Devil`s Coachouse, enjoy a serene half hour hike through the bush before descending into the historic underworld of Mammoth Cave. Adventure caving is about leaving the paths and fixed lights and following your experienced guide to the depths of the earth. Seeing these wilder, undeveloped areas will enhance your understanding of this magnificent and ancient environment. Your hard work will rewarded once you reach the large and well decorated chambers (one of absolutely breathtaking beauty). The ancient limestone landscape conceals a labyrinth of caverns decorated in calcite crystal - rich in shape, colour and texture. Stalactites, stalagmites, columns and shawls are just some the stunning formations that you`ll find as well as a swift flowing section of the underground river system. You are guaranteed to be blown away by the unusual beauty that lies beneath the earth`s surface. Whenever you are caving, you should respect the natural environment. Though it`s tempting to touch or maybe even break off a piece of the decoration, this ruins the delicate surroundings and has led to the destruction of many once beautiful underground areas. If you leave it how you found it, others will be able to enjoy it for years to come. The Mammoth Cave delivers challenge after challenge and is great for those desiring a full days adventure. If you are lucky enough, you may even reach Hell`s Hole!... Read More about the "Caving Adventure Mammoth Cave Intermediate - Jenolan Caves Sydney" on the Live Adrenalin Website

Caving Adventure Plughole Cave - Jenolan Caves Sydney Description: The underground world of Jenolan Caves, with its rivers and maze-like caverns is one of the final frontiers for the explorer in us all. But when you`re caving don`t expect ladders, handrails and guide lights, the caves you`ll be exploring are wild and have no adornments – well, none under 100, 000 years old, anyway! Caving is a technically diverse sport utilising skills and equipment from rock-climbing, abseiling and sometimes SCUBA diving. The entrances are generally small holes in the ground – sometimes you`ll crawl into them, often you`ll have to abseil in. Once inside, the caves are like a subterranean playground. During a typical caving expedition there are pitches to climb, tunnels to crawl through and pools of water so clear you can see formations, fathoms beneath the surface. Decked out in overalls, helmets and headlights, caving adventures begin with a safety and equipment briefing. You`ll enter Plughole Cave by abseiling (weather permitting) into the `Sinkhole` then caving into Elder Cave to negotiate a series of climbs, crawls and tight squeezes, before worming your way through the `S-bend` tunnels. This is an unforgettable two-hour introductory caving adventure that you`ll always remember....
