Cathedral Caves

Cathedral Caves near Owaka on the Catlins Coast in southern New Zealand are extraordinary sea caves carved into the limestone cliffs by wave action, accessible only for two hours either side of low tide. The largest cave is 30 meters high with multiple chambers — its cathedral proportions and the sound of the sea echoing inside create an awe-inspiring natural acoustic environment. The 45-minute walk through coastal forest to the caves passes through the wild and remote Catlins landscape.
