Trips

Trips and eventsAuckland Speleo Group runs a variety of trips, catering for all abilities from beginners upwards in terms of both general caving and rope skills. From almost dry walk-through caves to challenging vertical systems with waterfalls and rope descents, we visit all the caves that New Zealand has to offer.

It is important that you contact the trip leader as early as possible to register your interest and guarantee yourself a place. Some trips have restricted numbers of participants and trips will only go ahead if there are sufficient numbers. The club welcomes new members and takes an interest in training and developing their caving skills.

Trip Leader

The trip leader helps get all the basics of the trip in place.

1. Getting permission from the land owner and finding out any special protocols for visiting the cave.

2. Obtaining the cave location.

3. Coordinating transport to the location and car-pooling on private property.

4. Getting a list of participants, including checking if the trip is suitable for them and setting a group limit if needed.

5. Ensuring the equipment needed for the cave is taken, including a first aid kit.

6. Having an emergency call-out person.

7. Setting an estimated time the group will be out of the cave.

8. Letting the call-out person know when they have finished the trip (and sometimes often the land owner as well).
