Description
We knew you could only access Cathedral Caves in the Catlins area of the South Island of New Zealand within a couple hours either side of low tide. Before or after that the tide is too high to safely walk across the beach. So luckily for us, low tide on a sunny day in the Catlins was around 9 am making them a convenient first stop of the day. From the car park, you first descend through Maori freehold land along a one-kilometer walking track through lush coastal forest to the beach. This gives time for the anticipation to build! Cathedral Caves consist of the two sea-formed passages measuring about 200 meters, with a height up to 30 meters. It is almost totally dark when you reach the back end of the cave before you hook around to walk around the other side. The caves are in the cliffs at the end of pristine Waipati Beach, 15 km south of the village of Papatowai.

I love the perspective of this, Joan -- that crack of light beckoning the viewer to walk forward.

So claustrophobic this is the only wave I will see this natural phenomenon! Beautifully captured
