Loved the Lake cave easy walk once inside and the light show just made everything magical 😀
Easy interactions. Jett made the time fun and do educational. The cave is so picturesque and interesting.
We did this cave because we read that the water in the lake was the highest it had been for decades so it convinced us to visit. It was a great experience.
Online purchase of tickets was simple. Guide was very knowledgeable and the cave experience was amazing. So many brilliant features in the cave
Our tour guide Indigo was amazing and Lake cave was wonderful it was a great experience.
The guide was very informative, lovely to listen too. Stunning views.
Despite the challenging staircase, it is a marvelous cave made more beautiful by presence of the bottom lake .
The Lake Cave is just awesome and our guide was really knowledgeable and handled a large group with ease
The whole experience amazing, Jasmine was an excellent guide. Facts with a bit of fun.
Great cave visit. Totally world class. The guide was lovely. Very knowledgeable, helpful and thoughtful.
Excellent experience and loved the tour guides information.
INCREDIBLE CAVE and excellent guide. It wasn't at all rushed and plenty of opportunities to take pics and ask questions. I hugely recommend the tour .
Explanations about the history of the cave and how walls are formed. Ticketing was easy. Everything was on time. It would be nice to add a coffee/tea area right at the shop front.
Tickets booked on line. Easy and good to be able to book ahead. We loved the cave. Absolutely amazing. The guide was good. Gave helpful information without being too long and boring. Allowed time for people to take pictures.
We were the first tour and had our own personal guide. Very informative. Booking was easy.
Perfect for family with young kids. Lake cave is not scable but impressive.

Jewel cave is well worth a visit we really enjoyed it. Smooth check in, on time, really friendly guide who answered any proffered questions. However, compared to Jenolan caves in NSW, pricey & short
Ticketing was very easy. Absolutely gorgeous cave. Three different sections to view. Guide was informative and tour was very interesting
it was an awesome experience. I highly recommend the Jewel Cave tour. As for Headout, I did not realise that the cost of tickets would show up as a foreign transaction. Maybe Headout could inform customers of that.
Ticketing experience was very easy. While I am a relatively fit 70 year old and managed the stairs well, others in the group struggled a bit.
This was visually incredible, better than any previous cave I have been into and our guide was fabulous, extremely experienced and knowledgeable as well as being a lovely man.
Jewel Cave was an amazing experience and Tom, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable and extremely good fun which made for an unforgettable tour Sheila Pybus and Alexa Kent

Having already developed an interest in thylocoleo, I was amazed to see the display on offer. I did wonder if perhaps you could provide more information (for others) about this truly unique mammal. i.e. the much smaller variation (600g) herbivorous version. And those in between!? Puts a whole new meaning around the term drop bears!?
Mammoth cave was AMAZING!!..a little bit tricky for kids younger than 4 that's for sure and tricky for the elderly as well because there's a lot of stairs especially on the way out but my mother in law made it even though she did have to stop a lot as she has bad hips. My partner had to carry our little one as it's definitely too much for any kid under 4 but we all really really enjoyed it and the headphones 🎧 were an awesome feature of the tour. We can't wait to attempt the other caves and it really was mind blowing.
You can go at your own pace, there are multi languages to choose from with the guide audio. Well set up.
The fascinating caves were amazing
Able to do a self guided tour . Cave was huge and beautiful Online ticketing easy
The ticketing experience was super simple to navigate right to the end. Also the stuff where quite friendly and accommodating to the needs of customers. The audio set up was also very informative with detailed analysis of the curves formation. Great experience indeed we will live yo cherish.
A nice well managed place. Very interesting and a great self guided tour.

The Lighthouse tour was a breathtaking experience. The top view is incredible; the air and wind is so fresh and clean; the ocean and cape view is gorgeous. The tour guide - Nathan was fab, loved his local community history knowledge. Nathan was very informative and full of anecdotes and good humour stories. An enjoyable experience, thoroughly recommended it.
Great tour with Jackie. Loved the climb and views at the top of the lighthouse.
It was a very good tour with a lovely young lady. Very patient with us we had a 4 year old for all the stairs. She even took pictures of our family. 😊
My ticketing experience was flawless and quick with no issues . The tour itself was absolutely amazing. The guide was knowledgeable and inclusive of the entire group. She was really patient and kind especially with the children making it fun and interactive. It was apparent that she loved her job. I apologise for not remembering the guides name as we did so many tours and the names all seemed to blend into one. Thank you.

My ticketing experience with Headout was positive: easy to navigate my way around the site & delivery of eticket was excellent. Absolutely loved exploring Ngilgi Caves, seeing & learning about the different formations. Hubby is 84yrs & I'm 68 yrs, yet we managed the steps down & up because of the clever layout with benches to sit on in each resting spot. Because of the quality, we bought gifts in the store as well. Team was friendly & helpful. Honestly, this was the best 2-3 hrs spent and great value in all respects.
Very helpful staff , once your in the cave it's breathtaking it's a must visit when you are in the area
Great afternoon experience. We were 65 and my wife 63. She had a stroke 12 years ago and was uncertain if she would cope with the steps, but had a great time. Great handrails to help you climb the steps down and up. Fantastic rock formations. Nice and cool on a hot day. Very informative all the way around. Highly recommended
Amazing experience for everyone in our family ....very interactive
A must do experience! Staff were amazing to educate and answer any questions. The site is a wonder of the world - a unique cave for all to see.
We have visited this cave many times over the last 30 years, now taking the grandkids. Recent upgrades to the site and procedures have made it an even better experience;well done to the staff on site and all involved in the upgrades. Best cave in the area.👍
Last time I was there I was about 10, 52 now. Just mind blowing. So beautiful. So worth it.

Located within the Leeuwin-Naturaliste National Park, there are hundreds of caves around Margaret River. However, only a handful of them are accessible to the public. Here are some caves that you can explore on your Margaret River cave tours.
Walk through a forest of karri trees to reach a sinkhole, also called a doline, through which you head into the cave. As you descend the man-made staircase, you will see one of the only lake caves in Australia that reflect the beautiful limestone formations hanging from above. Marvel at the Suspended Table formation hovering over the water.
The largest of all the caves, Jewel Cave is made of three massive chambers. Discover perfectly preserved fossils and also a skeleton on display of Tasmanian Tigers, a marsupial that went extinct about 3500 years ago. The cave is also home to the stalagmite’s depiction of the Karri Forest above and the beautiful flowstones within like “The Frozen Waterfall”.
The only cave with a wheelchair-accessible chamber, the Mammoth Cave is a natural time capsule with perfectly preserved fossils of the currently extinct megafauna. Explore age-old fossils, including a 50,000-year-old jawbone embedded in the cave walls. The cave ends with a twisting trail through a canopy of marri trees.
Located in the northernmost region, the Ngilgi Cave is decorated with stunning stalactites, stalagmites, helictites and beautifully coloured shawls. Above the cave also lies an interactive experience for visitors to learn about the Wadandi people who were the original inhabitants of the land.
Each of the four caves open to the public has its own speciality, and if you don’t have the time to explore all of them, here’s how you can choose which one of them to visit.
