Margaret River Caves
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.
Lake Cave
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.
Jewel Cave
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”.
Mammoth Cave
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.
Ngilgi Cave
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.
Which Margaret River Cave Should I Visit?
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.

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.

I loved how it was self- paced. How you could spend anywhere from 30 minutes to a whole hour exploring the caves and the wildlife surrounding the areas. Definitely will come again and explore the other caves as well.
