Highlights
- Jewel Cave - Fully-guided tours showcase the breathtaking magnitude of Jewel Cave. You will see towering crystal creations that have taken thousands of years to form, and intricate decorations stretching and suspended across the ceiling, like vines and dancing cobwebs. From stalagmites to flowstone, shawls, helictites and even ‘cave coral’; this cave tour reveals the most amazing variety of cave formations or ‘speleothems’.
Once you see the ‘natural entrance’ to this cave, the means of entry for the intrepid cave explorers of the 1950’s, you will appreciate the incredible task they faced in opening up this spectacular cave to the public. You’ll also hear stories of the now-extinct ‘Tasmanian Tigers’ that fell into the cave and met a dark and lonely fate.
At the end of your tour, your awe-inspiring crystal journey is perfectly complemented with the option of the self-guided ‘Karri Walk’ through the towering forest giants, and viewing the ‘natural entrance’ from above the cave.
The Jewel Cave Centre is complete with interpretive area, retail and café facilities.

Largest cave to visit in WA - We were amazed at the sheer size of this cave. The set up allowing us to walk easily through this huge cave was great. It was incredible to think that the first explorers of the cave abseiled through a hole in the roof into pitch black with only a candlelight to see the majestic inside. Such a shame the water has dried up over 30 years ago - maybe one day in the future the water will return. Well worth a visit.

Awesome experience - We have toured a few caves in our travels but Jewel cave is truly the best we have seen. The cave is awesome with something to see everywhere you look and a wide range of different formations. Our tour guide, Josh, was fantastic. Our tour group was quite large and Josh conducted the tour with professionalism and humour. He was very knowledgeable about the topic and had a great rapport with the whole group when showing us through the cave. It was money well spent. Thanks Josh for an awesome experience.

Pristine cave full of surprises - We did this cave tour this morning. Incredible cave discovered about 70 years ago. Well protected and therefore no damage by humans. The whole experience was fantastic and made even more fun by our lovely guide Nick.
Well worth doing!

Gem of a cave - Jewel cave is an absolute gem (sorry about pun 😂). We have visited this part of WA previously but never visited any of the caves so thought it was time we did. The guide was very knowledgeable and took questions from the tour party which she answered well. We concerned about the possibility of claustrophobia but was not an issue. Some of the ladder climbs are steep so a degree of fitness is needed. The caves themselves are a wonder and the turning off of the lights gave a glimpse of how dark it can really get.
