Capricorn Caves - Cathedral Caves Tour - An excellent short tour of 45 mins with a first-class guide. The tour was easy for all ages. The pathways steps and lighting were all in great condition and well maintained. The caves, especially Cathedral Cave, are a wonder to behold. I am sure that the other longer tours would be just as exciting.

Cathedral Caves - not to be missed. - This is an experience not to be missed. It was less than an hour but worth it. We learned the history of the caves and experienced the awesome sounds of the Cathedral Cave. One member of our group gave us a few operatic notes which sounded magnificent. Issy was a great guide, knowledgeable and fun. The company's concern for the environment and their work towards keeping species (both plant and animal) alive was and is to be applauded. A beautiful experience and one to recommend.

Best surprise of the trip! - A fabulous stop- not to be missed! This tour, at 45 min is a great pit stop on your way north to Airlie Beach. The guides are knowledgeable and the tour is well done from start to finish. Geography, nature, and music! You must make this a priority for your family.
There are a few points where it is a tight squeeze but there are alternatives available!

Caving with a difference. Go up instead of down. Fantastic. - Wow this was amazing. The tour guide made n awesome cave experience even better. Was raining when we went but that made it even better. The small waterfalls now and then were great. Such a moving experience. Highly recommend.

Rockhampton Caprion Caves Tour - Absolutely stunning, our tour guide was so knowledgeable and friendly. This is a must visit when in Rockhampton. Facilities are clean and there is a shop with souvenirs at very reasonable prices.

Great, but some concerns. - The difference in geology and ecology between this, a dry cave, to wet caves that I'm familiar with we're the highlights for me. I also appreciated the audio experience.
Some of the walk ways and stairs are old and rickety. They need to be replaced.
Also in our group there was a family trying in push a pram through the caves. This was pretty dumb and they should not have been allowed to do this.

Little Disappointed - We found our guide was too much of a hurry , you barely had time to get a decent photo. We felt that if the tour had maybe been an extra 15 minutes that maybe the tour guide might not have rushed through the caves like he did .it was a bit disappointing considering some family members came from The Netherlands to experience this.
