OK it wasn't exactly black water rafting even though that's what they call it - we got suited up in sexy 2-piece wetsuits, booties, boots, shorts and helmets, chose an arse-fitting tube from a selection of sizes... and practised jumping into the water backwards for the "waterfalls" that were inside the caves.
It was actually all great fun and quite nervy at times in the pitch black, but I could've done with a bit more adrenalin-type stuff, like bigger jumps or something! And as it turns out, the glow worms are actually maggots (fly larvae) that park off at the top of the caves for 9 months, pupating and catching food on their hanging sticky lines. Then they metamorphosise into flies, without mouths or digestive systems, so they mate furiously for 2 days and then die of starvation! I wish all flies were born without mouths...
