    Great family adventure

    Greay experience. Little walk and discoveries. Then a great cave! With a tunnel!! Afterward a bunch of interactive things and a playground. Loved it for the kids

    Mardi_F, Feb 2026
    A lot of steps. Although most steps were well marked some of the last steps were not marked with light paint and in the dark cave it was daunting

    A fun adventure for all

    Shenaed_C, Apr 2025
    A great experience. Our children (8,6&2) thoroughly enjoyed themselves and the older two loved the childrens cave. Highly recommend

    Recommended for 5 yo and up!

    Miki_T, Apr 2025
    Great cave experience, though a bit challenging for my 3-year-old. My 5- and 7-year-olds, however, thoroughly enjoyed it! Make sure to wear covered shoes, as there's quite a bit of climbing up and down. It’s also cool inside, so a jacket or at least long pants are a good idea. Don’t forget your water bottle. All that climbing will definitely make you thirsty! The gift shop had really cool items like colour changing ring as your mood changes (I think it's likely temperature change? that's effecting it) but the kids will love this cave and highly recommend it!

    Great tour on a hot day !

    This was an amazing cave and it is a great thing to do on a hot day ! Facility to check in was nice and good gift shop .

    Promptness if touring commencing, safety and staff assistance. The infrastructure within the cave and signage.

    Wonderfully enjoyable as a family!

    Richard_T, Jun 2023
    We thoroughly enjoyed this lovely close to million year old cave with its many intricate and well preserved natural formations. Guide and staff were friendly, loved the constant 19 degree C temperature, and particularly memorable experience was singing together in the amphitheater with natural acoustics!

    Response from Host, Jun 2023

    Thank you for visiting! Those acoustics are just amazing in the Ampitheater.

    Seeing how excited my grandchildren were to experience being in the cave. Even though one of them was reluctant at the start and a bit nervous by the end it was a great experience.

    Fun and interesting

    Steven_F, Jul 2022
    Had been to other caves in the area before so knew what to expect. It was great to wander the cave at our own pace and spend time looking at the amazing formations.

    Emma_H, May 2022
    The whole visit to The Caves was amazing. The kids, 8 and 2 were enthralled by it and the tour guide had a great banter with our 8 year old. The 2 year old coped with a lot of the steps but needed some carrying at stages. Thoroughly recommend it.

    Amazing experience

    Jade_H, Apr 2022
    Noah was great, very engaging with my 8yo son! The caves are amazing, a little snug in places! Lots of stairs, some created, some built. It was an amazing experience!

    10/10

    Marlenne_D, Mar 2022
    This place is amazing! Something that you should definitely see in life. The fact that it’s semi guided makes it better to walk and enjoy at your own pace.

    Lying on the floor looking up in the amphitheater part of the cave and making it to the lowest point

    If your looking for a good cave adventure, Ngilgi is the answer!

    Nur_A, Dec 2021
    Ngilgi cave is the place to go if you're looking for some adventurous cave walking! With its winding narrow steps, low cave ceilings, and winding corners, ypu can't help but feel breathless at the end of the hour.

    Good experience. First time spelunkers welcome

    Riley_S, Dec 2021
    It was good. We thought it would be cold, but not too bad. The rest of this review is because it says I needed to use a minimum of 100 characters.

    Cave heritage and echo corner.

    Tazma_R, Nov 2021
    Before we entered the cave we were able to look at the heritage stories of the cave which allowed us to know more about the cave before exploring. When we went into the cave we were told about the area with a great echo where I took the opportunity to sing a few songs.

    Awesome

    Sandra_B, Nov 2021

    StuartClements_C, Oct 2021
    To many to mention, however doing to the base of the cave was exciting, the information and lighting was great. the steps had been steep but easy to walk on. Even seen some wild life in the cave before leaving, very encouraging to explore more caves

    Carol_R, Oct 2021
    Loved the cave. Close to Yallingup. Great if you do another cave tour down closer to Margaret River as you can get some discount if you book 2 cave tours online.

    Beautiful

    Brooke_S, Oct 2021
