An application is submitted by the group leader and contains details about the intended trip, contact details for the team members, and safety information in case of an emergency.

Applications must be recevied a minimum of 48 hours before the intended trip start time.

If your application is approved you will receive a "Pending" booking reservation from us for a "Recreational Caving Permit". This confirmation will contain a link to "complete guest details", from which you can share a link to each of your team members.

They will need to add their contact details and complete a waiver and WNS declaration stating that all precautions have been taken to prevent the spread of WNS to Rat's Nest Cave.

These documents must all be received by us at least 24 hours prior to the start of your trip or your permit will be denied

When we have received all of your signed documents the status of your booking will change from "Pending" to "Approved". You will automatically receive an email notifying you of the change. The email will also contain the combination to the cave gate.

At this point you are ready to go caving. Please make sure your team members are ready for the adventure, and notify us of any changes. Your permit is only valid for the date listed on the permit. If you need to change dates you will need to complete another application.

A trip report must be submitted by the trip leader within 7 days of completing your trip. This aids us in managing the cave for other visitors and provides us with important data such as changing conditions in the cave.

Not submitting a trip reporting may result in future applications being denied.
