There are quite a few steps and going up is much harder than going down but the tour is well worth it. The cave is really interesting, the tour guide knowledgeable and entertaining. Highly recommended.

The Steps Are Worth It!

Lots of steps but well worth the excersise! Beautiful caves with friendly informative guides the caves are a wonder of nature. 10/10 would recommend!

Worth a visit!

Wajiha_S, Mar 2026
We were only in town for a couple days and this was the best selling cave experience so we just booked it on a whim. Granted, we have nothing to compare it to (like jewel), this was a one of a kind experience! Our guide Harry was very knowledgeable and made the experience very immersive and engaging. However, the stairs on the way back are quite the workout so if you have kids or have low exercise tolerance Id reconsider.

Amazing cave not to be missed.

Allan_M, Mar 2026
The cave was amazing and well worth seeing. There are a lot of stairs but you can take your time. Matilda our guide was very knowledgeable and interacted very well with the group.

Don't trust the location...

Gareth_W, Mar 2026
Don't trust the location info in the link - sent to virtually nowhere. Thankfully another cave took us in once we showed them what we had been sent and where it lead us to.

Spectacular

Elayne_M, Feb 2026
If they are fit enough for 350 stairs definately put it on their to do list when travelling this area

Great cave, knowledgeable and entertaining tour guide

Breathtaking views

Cheyenne_N, Feb 2026
Lots of stairs like 18 floors. Take it as fast or as slow as you need for sure, but will all be worth it in the end of the tour

Very good and interesting

Kate_P, Jan 2026
Haven’t done this since I was a kid Guide was great very helpful Definitely recommended Just the steps going up are a bit of a Killer lol

The experience was just...

Cornelis_S, Jan 2026
The experience was just simply increddible!!! Even the more than 300 steps was a good exersise and the information from the tour guide was very knouledgable.

Must see!

Joanna_S, Jan 2026
You will learn a lot, but in a very gently, good humoured way. Many steps, so take it slowly on the way back. Our guide Tom, was brilliant.

Lake Caves- worthwhile visit

Karen_P, Jan 2026
There are LOTS of steps, but absolutely amazing and worth every achey knee. Our guide was very informative and kept it interesting.

Excellent nature...

Sabrina_L, Jan 2026
Excellent nature exploration, very good tour guide, prepared and enthusiastic! We all enjoyed our time

Great cave

Dirk_j, Dec 2025
Expect some stairs but worth it. Great knowledge from guide although misguided by the fact that most people’s are Christian and they rave on about Aborigines living in these caves for 60000 years Comon on

Amazing experience!

Kate_C, Dec 2025
Amazing experience, the lighting set up is incredible. Tour guide was amazing too. So informative! Your guide was very patient with everyone and felt safe throughout the tour.

Wonderful cave

Chris_T, Nov 2025
Wonderfully interesting cave to see and we had an exceptional tour guide. We really enjoyed the tour! We were happy to see there was a decent amount of water in the cave and some very interesting facts shared. There are a lot of stairs so keep that in mind.

Very good cave to...

Robert_C, Oct 2025
Very good cave to appreciate Mother Nature doing her work. Our guide for the tour was excellent and informative. The stairs are hard work , especially climbing back up but well worth it.

A well worth visit with...

Franne_H, Oct 2025
A well worth visit with unique features deep into the cave. Be mindful that there are many steps down into and out of the cave - over 500 in total. Fabulous experience especially how deep the cave is. Our guide was both very knowledgeable, engaging with the tour members and great sense of humor. 26thOct 12:00pm tour

Beautiful!

Kathy_V, Sep 2025
Wonderful cave. The guides were great. Be aware, there is a long staircase to the inner caves, I think I was told 385 steps. My partner and I are healthy in our early 70’s and we negotiated them fine, but my I could barely walk the next day from sore muscles. I had to modify some hiking plans the next 3 days.

A beautiful cave to visit.

Grant_E, Sep 2025
A very beautiful cave experience with a lot of steps! Tom was a great guide and very informative about the cave and its history.

Great tour

Connie_S, Mar 2025
The tour guide was very informative and interesting as well as entertaining. The caves were fascinating and picturesque , well worth the 326 steps down and 326 up

Impressive Lake Cave

Ivy_L, Mar 2025
It is educational to see the slow process of nature forming caves at work while visiting and see the slow moving water at the bottom of the cave. The cave is impressive!

An amazing cave experience

Stephen_M, Jan 2025
An amazing experience, would have to be the best cave to see in the area, thoroughly enjoyed it and would do it again

Good experience!

Sofie_L, Dec 2024
I would recommend this tour, it's value for money. Very friendly staff and the cave is just absolutely beautiful!

Absolutely gorgeous cave!

Aime_L, Aug 2024
Absolutely gorgeous cave! went there with some of my mates and we all loved it. The tour guide, the dripstones and the mysterious atmosphere are driving us crazy! Will 100% recommend.

Very pretty cave

Geoff_S, Aug 2024
Really pretty cave. Worth the long climb out (320 stairs straight down then up) as its a wet cave the water initially makes it very picturesque. Highly recommend this cave. My wife isn't very fit but took our time coming back up slowly.

Amazing

Sharon_S, Jul 2024
Absolutely beautiful. Tour guides are great. Would highly recommend. Good shoes recommend. So many to see, All amazing.

A must visit

Judy_B, Jul 2024
Wonderful experience It was tough for me with my mobility problems but lots of encouragement and no pressure won the day

A Perfect Tour for Us

Noel_E, Apr 2024
This was an educational and visibly stunning tour. The age of where we stood (or climbed down then up) was awe inspiring. The photos speak for themselves. Greg clearly knows his stuff and you have to be impressed that he and the other guides navigate those steps multiple times a day. The steps are quite manageable though. The 1 hour length of the tour was perfect for us, and we appreciated the flexibility in shifting our tour time to an earlier hour since our flight to Busselton was almost an hour early. Great tour!

Unique experience, informative, visually breathtaking, and fun.

Monica_d, Apr 2024
Love the 'suspended table' and other beautiful formations, and the drip, drip, drip sound - especially when the lights were turned off to experience the cave in almost total darkness. The guide was kind and knowledgeable. Also, hearing about how the cave was initially discovered and explored left me in awe. Thanks to the team there. :)

Stunning!

Jackie_J, Mar 2024
I really enjoyed this tour. The guide was knowledgeable and it was really good to hear the history of the cave and it was very beautiful when we were down there. Definitely worth a visit.
