The Upana Caves Interpretive Forest Site is a hidden gem nestled in the wilderness near Gold River. These are some of the most accessible caves on the island.
Visitors can explore several caves, some requiring a bit of crawling and scrambling, so be prepared for an adventure! There are five caves to explore, a viewpoint overlooking a waterfall, and a viewing platform providing a great view of the Resurgence Cave entrance (where the river flows out of the cave and back to the surface) - not to be missed!
Remember to take two sources of light, wear sturdy shoes and even a helmet, watch your footing, and mind your head on some of the low cave ceilings.
It's a cool spot to spend a few hours exploring nature's underground wonders.
