Lake Cave & Jewel Cave: Ancient Limestone Underworld Guided Tour

Descend into two of Margaret River's most spectacular limestone caves — Lake Cave with its ethereal underground lake, and Jewel Cave with its cathedral-scale formations. A fully guided experience reveals 350 million years of geological wonder.

What to expect

Lake Cave is the jewel of the region: you descend a spiral staircase into a cavern where a tranquil underground lake mirrors an impossibly delicate suspended crystal table — one of the most photographed natural wonders in Australia. Your ranger-guide explains the geology and the living cave ecosystem with infectious enthusiasm. Jewel Cave, near Augusta, is the largest show cave in WA, its soaring chambers draped with colosseum-scale stalactites and shawl formations lit to dramatic effect. Both tours are strictly limited in group size to protect the environment and ensure an intimate atmosphere.

Good to know

Lake Cave is ~55 km south of Busselton; Jewel Cave is ~110 km south near Augusta — factor in travel time carefully against your all-aboard. Hire a private driver or book a guided tour that combines both caves with transfers. Caves maintain a cool 17°C year-round — bring a light layer. Book guided entry slots in advance at busy times.
