Jenolan Caves offer extensive guided tours of Australia’s largest and most spectacular limestone caves.

There are also plenty of bushwalks within the Jenolan Karst Conservation Reserve, spot wildlife such as Lyrebirds, Platypus, and rare Brush-tailed Rock-wallabies. Cave tours with varying levels of difficulty and length are available, so if you are looking for adventure and a challenge or just a slow and steady journey, there is a tour for you! On arrival, you can head straight to the cave’s café for a hot coffee, or explore first then dine later at Chisolm’s restaurant in the historic Jenolan Caves House built-in 1897.
