Self-Guided Ngilgi Cave Ancient Lands Experience
Description
The entrance to Ngilgi Cave begins with a breathtaking journey through time above ground at the Ancient Lands Experience, an accessible pathway that winds through stunning Yallingup bushland, where a series of interactive installations brings the creation of this remarkable place to life. As you wander at your own pace through the Ancient Lands Experience, you’ll learn about cultural connections to the land, the local flora and fauna, and the formation of the pristine caves beneath the Leeuwin-Naturaliste limestone ridge in the South West corner of Australia. The path leads you to the cave entrance, where you can descend to discover the majestic stalactites, stalagmites, helictites, and vividly coloured shawls that adorn Ngilgi Cave’s chambers. Knowledgeable guides are positioned at key points throughout the experience to provide insights, answer questions, and share stories.

Greay experience. Little walk and discoveries. Then a great cave! With a tunnel!! Afterward a bunch of interactive things and a playground. Loved it for the kids
Great experience, family loved it, quite expansive area, with lots of steps and a few moderately tight spaces but not too difficult (a number of seniors on the tour). Very informative staff inside the cave and lots of amazing caverns to behold. About 1.5hrs to complete tour including interpretive above ground walk. Steps to the surface are mildly challenging but well worth it.
A lot of steps. Although most steps were well marked some of the last steps were not marked with light paint and in the dark cave it was daunting
Very cool experience. I highly recommend. Even though it's self-guided, all the staff were fantastic and keenly provided extra information. Lots of great cultural and scientific information too. Great to do on a hot day as the Caves are pretty cool.
Hi Grace, thanks so much for your awesome review! We are glad you enjoyed your visit to Ngilgi Cave. The guides love sharing their knowledge with our visitors.
This really did take the hour and half we were told to expect. This was the best cave out of all that we visited, as you could go at your own pace, and take your time taking pictures and exploring yourself.
Thanks for such a great review, we're glad you enjoyed your visit to Ngilgi Cave! The self-guided experience is excellent for allowing a little extra time to admire such a beautiful place.
The caves were so nice and there was a slide my kids went down, I would recommend going to this cave unless you are claustrophobic.
At first when you enter the place, it looks pretty cool but it quickly became quite underwhelming. The interactive stuff above the cave were also not working when we were there. Probably good to visit once but unlikely to visit again.
Awesome, well worth the effort. Leave your jumper and Jackets upstairs before you enter. Loved it. It was a great experience for my little Grandson (6) who loved this.
Nice place to visit especially on a wet day Bigger than you think and a lot of stairs to climb but awesome veiws and a nice thing to do in this area.
A great experience. Our children (8,6&2) thoroughly enjoyed themselves and the older two loved the childrens cave. Highly recommend
