Spectacular Caves From Around the World
Published by Travel around the world and see these amazing caves.
These caves are popular tourist destinations in the world. Let’s begin our tour in the south.
1. Gardner’s Gut: New Zealand
A visit to New Zealand is incomplete if we’re not going to see some of its popular caves. A cave worth-seeing there is the Gardner’s Gut, an extensive cave system in the Waitomo area. It is located in the Ruakuri Caves & Bush Scenic Reserve, an area that also contains a number of other natural features of note. With a length of over 12 km of explored passages, it is the country’s 6th largest known cave system.
From New Zealand, we’ll climb up to the north.
2. Ease Gill Cave System: British isle
Looking for an exotic cave? Well, the Ease Gill Cave System which is the longest cave system in the British Isles, with over 100 km of passages is the right cave for you. Just looking at its unique krypton-colored stalagmites and stalactites is already an awesome experience. This cave also includes connections only passable by cave diving that spans the valley between Leck Fell and Casterton Fell. The water resurges into Leck Beck.
3. Fingal’s Cave: Scotland
UK offers lots of scenic views and one of these is the natural wonder – Fingal’s Cave. It is a sea cave on the uninhabited island of Staffa, in the Inner Hebrides of Scotland. The cave is formed entirely from hexagonally-jointed basalt columns, similar in structure to the Giant’s Causeway in Northern Ireland making them a unique tourist spots.
4. Gruta de Moinhos Velhos: Portugal

Those are beautiful photos. Nice article; very interesting. I prefer though to just see them in pictures. I have always experienced eerie feelings when I am inside caves. btw, the “I like it” button is not working.

These are spectacular and frightening. I would love to visit them. My son was a splunker when he was growing up and he would love to explore these caves.
On March 14, 2009 at 9:54 pm
These pictures seemed to be from a far distant galaxy of some sort. There were so breath taking, I can hardly believe they’re real. I would love to visit those cavesshiat. Thanks for taking us on this unusually uplifting “icy” like adventure.

I have no idea what happened in my previous comment. Still trying to learn. That word ’shiat’ on the end of the word {caves}were the letters I was to type in the box. Why the “/” was injected in the sentences, who knows? Anyway, I really liked your article.

This is a great find. These are heavenly. There is one in Barbados as well – a very popular one, but it’s been a long time, so I’ve forgotten the name now.
Jim, this is not a place for you to promote your runescape articles. Do you actually think anyone is going to use your link?

Cool story idea. There’s also a cave in Ireland called the Aillwee Caves (in County Clare). Very similar to the ones you mentioned.
On March 16, 2009 at 11:29 am
wow… excellent article! wahh… why you didnt include our underground river? It is believe to be one of the beautiful and longest navigable underground rivers in the World which features cathedral-like caverns and domes. The stalactites and stalagmites formation resembles like religious images, fruits and birds. it’s officially world’s new seven wonders of Nature.

Love the piece Norbert I just adore caves, they are a fascinating geological treasure.

Outstanding tour of some wonderful caves systems. We have been to Ruby Falls. It is an underground waterfall in Tennesse. It was wonderful and scary to be so far underground.

Great article Nobert. Its great looking for and finding these places. I enjoyed researching and finding the various caves, when I did an article about Fingals Cave and the other caves on Staffa.

Cool, I think the one in Japan is my favorite, but it could just be the lighting.
On March 19, 2009 at 12:40 am
hmmm very enticing. I think I’m gonna see when I go to Scotland end of this month. The Eisriesenwelt looked like a giant mouth opened wide like those ones I see in a dental clinic.
Lechuguilla Cave in Mexico was like a painting but I’d definitely want to visit it one day. thanks for sharing these photos.

I’ve been in the first caves, the Waitomo caves, here in New Zealand. Caves are inspiring to me, and create lots of new ideas for stories. Thanks for sharing.

Why did you not include the world-famous and spectacular Cheddar Caves of the Cheddar Gorge, in Somerset, England?
