Kaniwhaniwha, Pirongia Forest Park
The main cave is about 20 metres long and includes a short hands-and-knees crawl. The second cave is narrower. Reach the caves via the Kaniwhaniwha approach from Limeworks Loop Road.
Before you go
- Bring a torch and spare batteries. The caves are wet underfoot and the approach can be muddy.
- The caves are accessible, but Bell Track beyond and the kahikatea-tree route remain closed.
