The cave was amazing, the tour was worth every cent. This tour is suitable for everyone who can walk, and it offers access for those with mobility issues. There is... read more a short time when they turn off the lights so that you can experience the full darkness of the cave, but this is in the cathedral where everyone can sit down. We also really enjoyed the lights and music. The tour ends with the option of an “easy” or a “hard” way out of the cave. The hard way involves a bit of stooping and manoeuvring around some tight bends, but nothing too claustrophobic. We saw some extremely rare ferns growing in the cave, a a few of the micro bats as well. A great day out.

Visited Capricorn Caves & did the Cathedral Tour it was value for money, if you like learning about and observing some natural beauty. Some stairs/ramps but not tiring.... read more Tour guide very informative and gave us time for plenty of photos. We were given 2 ways to get out 1: back through the Cathedral or the "zig-zag" way. I would reccommend the zig-zag way... you weave through a tunnel like path and cross 2 suspension bridges. An added experience at no extra cost.

A truly exhilarating experience. My husband and I stayed the night at a cabin at Capricorn Caves and were so impressed with the hygiene and cleanliness of the cabin. The... read more entire property was a wildlife sanctuary with kangaroos and a multitude of birds. This whole place had such a great vibe.
The next day we decided to take the tour of the caves and were even more impressed. The tour was fabulous and our guide so knowledgeable. He took us through exciting maze of limestone tunnels and stairs and demonstrated acoustics and other exciting details about the caves. There were two children who were amongst the party in our group and they were thoroughly enjoying themselves and at the same time getting an invaluable education. Highly recommend!

Heading north towards Cairns, I chose to take a rain check on visiting Capricorn Caves. However, with more time on my hands, I decided to make this a priority. And,... read more I’m really pleased I did.
I arrived with minutes to spare, joining the 2pm tour. The lady conducting our tour was absolutely passionate, dedicated to the caves. She was funny and very interesting, adding to the experience.
Discovered in 1881 by a Norwegian immigrant, the caves were owned by the Olsen family until 1988, when they were purchased by a couple. Capricorn Caves are the largest privately owned cave system in Queensland. They are also a unique cave system.
Being claustrophobic, I elected to do a simple cave tour. However, for the more adventurous, it’s possible to do a 90 min caving experience. Highlight of our tour was the cathedral, when the guide turned off all lighting and played a superb piece of music, show-casing the acoustic’s of the cave.
