Caving

Where to Go Caving in Australia

Australia has plenty of exciting cave systems. Each state and territory has a thrilling cave system ready to explore, with plenty of adventures awaiting you if you know where to look. 

Here’s where to look if you’re trying to find a cave near me to explore.

Jenolan Caves Adventure Tours—Caving NSW

The Jenolan caves complex is undoubtedly Australia's most spectacular. At 340 million years young, it's one of the oldest cave systems in the world and an ideal destination for a caving adventure tour.

Your caving experience starts with the practicalities. You'll be kitted out in overalls, helmets, headlamps and all equipment necessary for the descent. Your experienced guide will provide a safety briefing and let you know what kind of strange fauna (like cave crickets and glow worms) to look out for. Keep your wits about you as you descend into darkness!

Then you will crawl, squeeze, wade and even abseil through the cave system. Marvel at famous chambers like the Aladdin Cave and the blue waters of the subterranean River Styx. Your Jenolan Caves adventure offers sights that are not easily forgotten. If you bring a camera, make sure it's waterproof!

Margaret River, Western Australia

Margaret River is known for a lot of things: surf breaks, good wine, and beachside fun. But did you know it’s also home to the Leeuwin-Naturaliste Ridge, where over 150 limestone caves are hewn into the cliffside?

From guided tours of Jewel Cave to self-guided tours of Mammoth Cave, the vouchers at Adrenaline provide everything you need to explore these rich caves, steeped in local history, and learn about the fascinating formations.

Caving Melbourne

A short drive from Melbourne, more underground adventures await. The granite caves of Victoria feature both narrow chasms and cathedral-like chambers lit by glow worms and lined with alien-like fungi, these caves are an unforgettable experience. You'll need plenty of water and a change of clothes for this intense caving tour.

Cutta Cutta Caves, Northern Territory

Nestled in the Northern Territory, the Cutta Cutta caves provide a rare opportunity to see a tropical cave system. The limestone caves here are within a National Park, brimming with wildlife like horseshoe bats and more than 170 species of birds.

Get a guided walking tour of the caves and enjoy an expert guide’s perspective on these stunning rock formations.

A Cave Tour for Everyone

In search of a more casual caving experience? Fortunately, there are plenty of caving experiences to suit every taste. There are many show cave tours available that don't require getting dirty and won't test your claustrophobia. View exquisite formations from a walkway—all you'll need is a comfortable pair of walking shoes. No torches necessary: show cave tours use modern lighting technology so you can appreciate the stalagmites and stalactites while preserving the delicate cave environment. There are options for any age and fitness level to ensure your caving experience is as enjoyable as it is unforgettable!

However, if you’re up for it, you can find a more exhilarating experience through more advanced caving tours. At Adrenaline, we have something to suit every taste.
