We saw the sign and decided to stop in as we were passing by. They do three tours a day. We waited to attend the 11:15am tour.
The ticket booth opens 10 minutes before the tour, so if no one is there, hang on. They will be.
You climb to the cave entrance. There are some look outs and educational material on your way to the cave entrance.
After a brief safety lesson, you enter the cave by descending some steep steps. Hang onto the railing!
You gather on the first platform and hear about the characteristics of the cave. It's a dry cave, no water, formed from condensed sand which formed limestone. Because there is not water, it's a dead cave. No growth. Visit 100 years from now and it will look the same.
The lighting is well done to highlight the many formations. The second gathering area provides additional formations and educational material. Finally, the third gathering area is highlighted by a light show and narration which goes into the formation of Kangaroo Island and the cave. It's very well done and last about 15 min. There are little stools for seating during this time.
Our guide was very knowledgeable about the cave and area. She did a great job! Glad we stopped. read more
