About this tour
Descend into Western Australia's largest show cave for a guided exploration of three vast chambers adorned with thousands of years' worth of stalactites, stalagmites, and mineral formations. You'll encounter towering crystal structures and learn the geological story of how these underground chambers formed, plus hear about prehistoric Tasmanian Tigers whose remains were discovered here. The hour-long tour is followed by an optional self-guided walk through the surrounding karri forest, where seasonal wildflowers bloom in winter and spring.

What to expect
The tour takes you through three cavernous halls where your guide explains how water and minerals have sculpted the cave over millennia. Expect to see intricate formations ranging from delicate stalactites hanging overhead to robust stalagmites rising from the floor, plus unusual helictites that defy gravity. The cave retains a steady cool temperature year-round. Your guide will share tales of prehistoric megafauna, including details about the Tasmanian Tigers found fossilised here. After emerging, you can opt for a quiet walk through the surrounding tall karri forest if time and energy allow.
Good to know
Moderate fitness required due to walking and some steps. Service animals are welcome. Bring a light jacket—caves stay cool regardless of outside temperature. No transport to the cave is included, so arrange your own vehicle access.
