Australia's Most Spectacular Caves

Accessing Jenolan Caves has changed

Navigating your way to Jenolan Caves - even if you have previously been to Jenolan Caves, or are familiar with the area, please note the detour below, to ensure you’re able to successfully navigate to Jenolan, to experience Australia’s most spectacular caves, iconic dining and historic accommodation, all set in the Blue Mountains World Heritage wilderness.

DIRECTIONS - From the Great Western Highway, turn left onto Jenolan Caves Road. To avoid road closures that exist further along this road, turn right onto Duckmaloi Road. Just before the town of Oberon, turn left onto Titania Road, and then left onto Edith Road, which will take you all the way to Jenolan Caves. This picturesque country detour will add approximately 30 minutes to your trip. For more details, see Getting Here. We also suggest accessing Google Maps, other navigation applications and checking Live Traffic in case of further delays.

Entering the Jenolan Caves Precinct - As of the 13th August all vehicles accessing Jenolan Caves will need to be escorted to and from the Jenolan Caves car park from the top of Two Mile Road by a Transport for NSW escort vehicle. This is required due to Two Mile Road only catering to one way traffic and to ensure the safety of our guests. Escort Vehicles will run at limited intervals and guests will need to arrive 1 hour and 45 minutes prior to their booked activities.

*** For 9am tours, please arrive at 7:15am at the top of Two Mile Road ***

*** For 11:45am tours, please arrive at 10am at the top of Two Mile Road ***

*** For 2:30pm tours, please arrive at 12:45pm at the top of Two Mile Road ***

Top Tips:

When planning your trip to Jenolan, you must arrive 1 hour and 45 minutes before your first activity.
If you book more than one cave tour on the same day, give yourself a break of perhaps 30 minutes between tours, and you will have a much better experience.
