Inside one of the Cathedral Caves.

The Cathedral Caves are a series of sea caves on the Catlins Coast in New Zealand. They are one of the most popular tourist attractions in the area. The two main caves join together within the cliff, and one has a 30 m (100 ft) high ceiling. Access to the caves from the road crosses private land, with a user fee being charged. The caves are only accessible 2 hours either side of low tide.

A new eco-tourism camp is due to open October 2006, which will provide a convenient base for access to the caves. The camp is located 400 meters from the entrance to the caves access track.
