We have reopened the Temple of Baal and Orient caves on 2 November, and on 30 November we will also open the Chifley, Lucas and Imperial caves for guided tours. Our other caves are still closed, for now. For COVID-19 safety, we can guide a very limited number of guests through these caves at one time - making them very exclusive experiences indeed.
We are releasing cave tours in small blocks only, so that we can make changes quickly if circumstances change. So, if we haven't got any tours available yet on your travel date, please keep checking this website.
