Vast Cave is about 6km from the Bushman’s Nek reserve offices, with an uphill climb on the final approach. Its deep overhang makes an impressive destination, though protection depends on the weather and wind direction. The Vast Cave hike describes the walk; allow for the return and arrange any overnight stay in advance.
