It was a wonderful experience. The tour guide explained / shared information really well and he was very accomodating. He also has a good sense of humor. I would love to go back and do it with my husband. I love the experience sitting at the cathedral and listening to a beautiful music.

This is not an experience words can describe its a MUST see for yourself . We will be going back often.
Did the 45min Cathedral Cave tour. Was well narrated by Jai. I recommend wearing closed in shoes (not a necessity for this tour) as ground can be slippery from dirt and snakes are also around. The acoustics in the cave are awe inspiring. Options are available for how you get around the cave system and exiting with a slightly adventurous way out or a more sedate. Available to all ages and most abilities.
Absolutely loved visiting Capricorn Caves!
Our guide Jordy was knowledgeable, friendly and made the whole experience really enjoyable. The scenery around the caves was beautiful too. Definitely worth a visit if you’re travelling through Central Queensland — highly recommend!

We took the kids (ages 5–9) on the Cathedral Cave Tour at Capricorn Caves and it was hit! Our guide was friendly and full of fun facts, and the highlight was definitely the Cathedral chamber with its amazing natural acoustics and total darkness. It’s not too strenuous, so even our little ones managed it well. Great family outing, beautiful, memorable and just the right balance of adventure and comfort.
Wow just spectacular

Very friendly and informative guide. We did the Cathedral Cave which wasn’t a challenging walk - some steps to navigate. Overall a worthwhile experience.
Fantastic crew working there, Byron, our guide, was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Really enjoyed the music in the cathedral.
I enjoyed this. Wish there was a tour from Rockhampton to get out there though. Car hire is necessary.
