Park the car on the right hand side of the road. The entrance is easy to find. You walk down in to the hidden rain forest. Then up the stair case to the entrance of the cave.

You need to make your way to the left there is a marker to follow.

Watch the slippery floor at the beginning.

Walk around for 5 or 10min or more so long as you have a touch. These caves in Punakaiki are great.
