During a one-hour guided tour, knowledgeable guides discuss the cave’s geology, history, and unique formations. Your guide will use lighting to highlight key features, including the rare ‘suspended table,’ a singular structure weighing several tonnes hovering above the water, and active stalactite droplets creating ripples across the water.
This combination of natural wonder and storytelling provides an immersive experience for families, couples, and curious explorers alike.
One-hour guided tours take you into a pristine chamber beneath the karri forest. Your guide uses lighting to highlight various features within the cave while sharing interesting facts and stories.
You will witness the rare ‘suspended table’ formation, a one-of-a-kind structure that hovers above a reflective lake. This cave is the region’s most active ‘dripping’ cave, where droplets fall from delicate stalactites, creating ripples in the lake.

4.00Once you descent the 327 stairs and pass the headache rock, the cave opens up and dazzles. A small cave in comparisonto others, but its beauty and uniqueness far outweigh its size. Reflect, photgraph and remember its beauty before ascending the 327 steps back thru the sinkhole to the surface.

5.00We were only in town for a couple days and this was the best selling cave experience so we just booked it on a whim. Granted, we have nothing to compare it to (like jewel), this was a one of a kind experience! Our guide Harry was very knowledgeable and made the experience very immersive and engaging. However, the stairs on the way back are quite the workout so if you have kids or have low exercise tolerance Id reconsider.
Magnificent site! Great guide!

5.00Beautiful work of nature not to be missed. Our guide was humorous and very educational. He was also very safety conscious and made sure everyone was accounted for and safe before he narrated each specific feature of the cave. He made every person feel like a long lost friend. He knew almost everyone’s name by the end of the tour which was only an hour. The natural beauty is just hard to describe. Stunning and magnificent beauty by the hand of Creator God! We’ve been to a lot of caves, but nothing like this.
Amazing cave not to be missed.

5.00The cave was amazing and well worth seeing. There are a lot of stairs but you can take your time. Matilda our guide was very knowledgeable and interacted very well with the group.
Stop and look. Breathe and absorb the beauty. Enjoy your general good health and agility of your kneecaps.

5.00Visited Lake Cave last week. What a great experience with incredible walk of 325 steps down to the entrance of the cave. We just took our time descending, and took small breaks at different stages as needed. We appreciated the knowledge and local history from our guide. The cave is one of the joys of the world and just has to be experienced in its beauty and fabulosity.
Don't trust the location...

1.00Don't trust the location info in the link - sent to virtually nowhere. Thankfully another cave took us in once we showed them what we had been sent and where it lead us to.
Spectacular
