Descend into a 500,000-year-old limestone cavern glittering with stalactites and ancient formations, then scale a 19th-century lighthouse above the wild Indian Ocean. Two bucket-list icons of the Capes region in one seamless day.
What to expect
The Ngilgi Cave guided tour (45 minutes) winds through chambers adorned with aragonite helictites, massive flowstones and crystal pools, with a ranger narrating both the geology and the Wardandi Noongar Dreaming associated with the site. A short drive north leads to the 1904 Cape Naturaliste Lighthouse; the climb up its spiral iron staircase ends at a balcony with jaw-dropping coastal views. Combine with a stroll to the dramatic cliff-top lookout over the Indian Ocean.
