These adventurers will be richly rewarded

Most people explore only the sights above the ground, but exploring underground yields exceptional beauty for those adventurous enough to try it. These adventurers will be richly rewarded as they navigate through each of these caves and view their wonders.

Hi,

Is it correct to interpret the line in bold as the following? Thanks.

These adventurers will benefit greatly as they go through carefully each of these caves and see their wonders.

'Carefully explore' sounds better than 'go through carefully', I think.

The interpretation is correct. The paraphrase itself is ungrammatical. You can't have an adverb (carefully) between a preposition (through) and its object (caves). .. go carefully through each of these caves ... Or use Philip's version.
