Jewel Cave Fully-guided Tour (Located in Western Australia)
Description
Jewel Cave is the largest show cave in Western Australia and is also home to one of the longest straw stalactites found in any tourist cave in Australia. Guided tours unveil the breathtaking magnitude of three immense chambers decorated with towering crystal creations, delicate stalactites, stalagmites, helictites, and beautifully coloured shawls that have taken thousands of years to form. Hear stories of now-extinct Tasmanian Tigers that fell into the cave and perished long ago. Your awe-inspiring crystal journey is perfectly complemented by the option of a self-guided karri forest walk through the towering forest giants, an excellent place to discover the region's unique wildflowers in winter and spring.

Itinerary
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.

Exceeded expectations Right length of visit
Had another tour today at Jewel to go with Mammoth last week - to our pleasant surprise Shae was in Jewel as well as Mammoth - an outstanding knowledge of both caves & eloquent commentary made for a wonderful tour in both - more caves but no time left for us - thanks Shae & both cave tours we highly recommend - Michael & Kim (Sydney)
This was an amazing guided walk with informative group leader. Spectacular formations. The only thing to remember is there is over 500 steps and what goes down must come up. It does require you to bend and tuck under some of the parts too. We definitely would recommend
The caves were much bigger and offered impressive crystal structures. The tour guide Riley was Informative and fun. The 250 steps down were much easier than 250 back up but time was allowed for the slower members of the group.
Amazing doesn't cover it. Mother nature at her finest finding Tassie tigers bones in here who would have thought
Absolutely incredible. I cannot stress how amazing and magestic the cave and our tour guide josh was 10/10will selunk again
Looking for a stellar rainy-day escape? This underground cave tour is the perfect choice when the weather turns sour. Our group was incredibly diverse, spanning a wide mix of ages and ethnicities, yet the experience completely captivated everyone. The atmosphere inside was awe-inspiring, making it a genuinely great, memorable experience for all of us.
The staff who helped us confirm our tickets were incredibly friendly and welcoming. The guide was excellent—he made the tour very enjoyable and shared lots of interesting and fascinating facts throughout the visit. The facilities were very well maintained, and the cave lighting was perfectly designed to highlight its beauty. The cave itself is absolutely spectacular and well worth visiting. I highly recommend it.
Great guide called Martha who was knowledgeable and made the experience fun. Fabulous caves with good lights and walkways. I'd highly recommend this adventure
A must see in South West WA. This is the most impressive cave I have ever seen. The formations are so varied and lit brilliantly to really show them at their best. Holli our guide was brilliant. Cannot recommend enough.
