Summer Solstice Day – 22nd Dec

Friday 22 December

11am - 12pm

Celebrate the Summer Solstice with us!

December 22nd, 2023 is the longest day of the year and marks the celebration of the Summer Solstice! Join us at Capricorn Caves to witness one of the most spectacular natural phenomena in the Southern Hemisphere when the alignment of the sun along the tropic of Capricorn lights up the Belfry Cave for you to experience.

Your expert guide will enlighten you with stories of solstice celebrations from around the world, teach you the science behind what you are seeing, put on a dazzling show with the light beam and allow a photo opportunity not to be missed.

Please note, Solstice is a natural phenomenon and 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.

					Well worth the time and money. 👍 We just turned up hoping to get into a tour. We were lucky as it was quiet. Our timing was good too, as we only had to wait ten minutes. 

Our guide (Izzy) was terrific and so knowledgeable. The caves were very interesting, not hot or humid, easy to walk through. The best bit was the actual cathedral section. 

A great place to visit.

					A Great Time Had A great tour, not to long or not to short.  Wow the highlight of this tour has to be the show given in the cathedral.  AMAZING.  Tour guides were friendly, informative and answered all question given to them.  Booking is essential if you do not want to be disappointed, as the tour does have limited   numbers.

					A pleasant and cool tour during a 38 degree summer I recently visited the Capricorn Caves with my family, and couldn’t believe I hadn’t explored this gem before, especially having grown up in Rocky. We joined the 2 pm tour on a scorching 38-degree day, and I was initially worried it might be too hot. However, it was a cool and comfortable tour of the caves.



A special shout-out to our tour guide, Izzy, who was enthusiastic, passionate, and incredibly engaging throughout the experience. Her knowledge and energy made the tour even more enjoyable. I highly recommend visiting Capricorn Caves.

					Great experience This is a rare and fascinating dry rainforest ecosystem with many species of bats living in the limestone caves. There is plenty of free parking, a visitor display, cafe and guided tour which was very informative and no too strenuous. It does involve being able to negotiate steps and uneven floors, but the pace is gentle.

					Blew our minds! As an unexpected stop on our travels of the East Coast, this guided tour absolutely blew our minds! Of all the tours and excursions we have been on Candice was the best tour guide we have had. Knowledgeable, funny and engaging! Made our long travel day worthwhile.
