Wading across a river using tire is something common, but if the river is located inside a cave, of course it will be an enjoyable yet challenging experience. Pindul is a cave that becomes part of the group of seven caves with underground river flowing inside. It is

located in a village named Bejiharjo, Karangmojo and it offers the real sensation of adventure. For about 45 to 60 minutes, visitors will be invited to go along the river in the darkness of the bowels of the

earth with 300 meters length using lifebelt. This is an activity combining body rafting and caving, and later called cave tubing.

No special preparation needed to do cave tubing in Pindul cave. We only need lifebelt, life vest, and headlamp, and those equipments have been provided by the organizer. The still water flow makes it save for everyone, not only adults but also children. The best time to do cave tubing is in the morning at about 9 or 10a.m since the

water won't be too cold. Furthermore, if the weather is clear, at that time we may see the light from heaven which is actually the

sunlight from above that goes through the big hole on the top of the cave.
