The Xanadu Cave system is the connection between the Bullock Creek sinks all along Bullock Creek Gorge and the resurgence at Cave Creek. The system is water filled and very dangerous. There are guided tours which seem to be save but we discourage any self guided tours into this cave. Please contact a tour operator at Greymouth for a black water rafting tour.
