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.

Our trips calendar is regularly updated and club members can also join our active email discussion group.

The courses are aimed at cavers who are likely to be involved underground in a cave rescue (hopefully as a rescuer not a patient) and cover mix of theory and practical sessions over the first two days, with an additional day underground for a rope rescue exercise to put into practice the skills that you have learned. The instructors are Grant Prattley and Chris Whitehouse.
