List of caves of New Zealand
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The following is a list of some of the more well known caves and caverns in New Zealand.
Not all caves have an official name as set by the New Zealand Geographic Board. The national caving association maintains maps of all known surveyed caves and the name is generally allocated by the group who first discovered the cave.
