🌄 Xeni Cave Recce Hike – A True Mountain Challenge

Once again, the mountains humbled us. With an 18kg backpack strapped on, river rock hopping and scrambling through dense bush were no easy feats. But the sense of adventure and the promise of something special at the end kept us moving forward.

Xeni Cave, tucked away in the Cathedral Peak area, is a hidden gem. Its remote location makes it incredibly challenging to access—overgrown trails, no signs, and only cairns left by other adventurers to guide us. On top of the bad markers and tangled trails, 1.5km of the hike is through a riverbed scattered with massive boulders and fallen logs, and it can flood instantly if rain hits. The GPS coordinates we had were off, leading us further up the valley. But we didn’t let that stop us. A bit of bundu bashing later, and our navigational instincts led us to the right path.

This experience reminded us of an important lesson: never rely solely on technology. Always do your homework and trust your instincts when exploring remote places.

This hike will not be added to our regular hikes list and will only be offered upon request for experienced hikers due to the rough terrain and challenging conditions.

Check out a few teaser photos from our adventure—more to come soon! And remember, the mountains may test you, but the rewards are always worth it.

📸 Stay tuned for more pics and a video of our journey!

🌊 How Tragic! Another Heartbreaking Loss 🌊

We cannot emphasize this enough: never take chances with Mother Nature. Our oceans are beautiful but can be unforgiving, and rip currents along our coastline are extremely powerful.

Tragedies like this remind us how quickly things can go wrong. Please, always exercise caution when swimming, follow safety guidelines, and stick to designated swimming areas where lifeguards are present.

Let’s all do our part to stay safe and protect our loved ones. 💔
