About: Summer Solstice has long been celebrated at Capricorn Caves, with people coming from far and wide to witness the mesmerising phenomenon. During Summer Solstice the midday sun perfectly aligns with a natural opening in the cave ceiling, casting a powerful beam of sunlight into the depths of one of our caves allowing you to witness the enchanting play of light that occurs naturally only at Capricorn Caves.
The ‘Echoes of Sunlight’ tour will showcase our largest and most spectacular caves, leaving you with lasting memories of ancient geological history, early explorers, the wonders of wildlife and special cave acoustics. Your guide will then take you to Belfry Cave where they will share stories of Solstice and give you a natural light show like no other.
Experienced local guides deliver the captivating stories of this ancient Australian landscape on small-scale interpretive tours.
Solstice is a natural phenomenon, as we have no control over the weather if it is raining or overcast we can’t guarantee viewing of the Solstice. We will still deliver for you a very informative tour all about the Summer Solstice. To book your chosen day, use the button below.
** Please note, this is different to the Solstice in the Shadows event held on December 21st & 22nd 2024.
*** It is highly recommended to purchase your tickets prior to arriving at Capricorn Caves, not only is a surcharge applied when you purchase your tickets at the kiosk at Capricorn Caves, but purchasing online and in advance guarantees your place on tour, and tours do regularly sell out.
