Exciting Adventure caves
If you are looking for adventure – something that thrills without the spills, squeeze, crawl and climb through winding, ancient passageways with only your head lamp to light your way. Adventure caving is about leaving the paths and fixed lights and following your experienced guide to the depths of the earth. Whether a first timer or skilled adventurer, there is an adventure to suit you.

We run a tour from 8pm to 10pm every evening except Sundays. The intriguing 'Legends, Mysteries & Ghosts' tour runs every Saturday (and Wednesday) night. Other fascinating tours run on Monday, Tuesday & Thursday and Friday nights. At set dates, we even have fun and informative history tours that bring Jenolan’s unusual past to life. Tours for Children
During NSW school holidays, we run tours for children, age 7-12, enabling them to experience the caves through fun activities that they can understand. .

Jenolan Caves is in a huge nature reserve which forms part of the Blue Mountains World Heritage area. For FREE, you can stroll along a choice of scenic bush tracks (from easy to strenuous), picnic at the Blue Lake, and in the quiet of the early morning or at dusk, see native animals and birds. On almost any day you can spot a platypus. (Tip: if you stay overnight in one of our Jenolan Caves cottages, you are sure to see kangaroos.) For more information:
