About this place.

The cave boasts the longest straw stalactite of any tourist cave in the world, at just over 5.4m, a huge area of flowstone that resembles a karri forest, and a stalagmite weighing more than 20 tonnes.

The cave was named after a smaller section known as the Jewel Casket and its crystal formations. Guided tours of about one hour are available.

Shortlist of Caves to Visit

If you're in Margaret River for a short time, and can only visit one cave I would say your choice comes down to three of them, and luckily they are all in completely different areas of the Margaret River Region! Pick your direction and go!

The caves of the region are all generally considered solutional caves and form in rock that is soluble, such as limestone. Rock is dissolved by natural acid in groundwater that seeps through bedding-planes, faults, joints and so on. Over geological epochs cracks expand to become caves and cave systems.

The limestone ridge stretching from Cape Naturaliste in the north to Cape Leeuwin in the South is filled with such caves. Drive along Caves Road and you pass several of the regional caves.

Imagine what discovering one of them must have been like when you travel back in time to the Margaret River region's ancient history. Each cave that offers tours in the region is amazing.

This is our shortlist and are well worth the visit:

Ngili Cave in the North

Ngilgi Cave

Lake Cave in the middle

Jewel Cave in the South

More Caves?

There are dozens that can be visited by people, some require experienced guides, some are self-guided. 

Always ensure you are prepared and call ahead where possible. 

There is another list of Caves with more information about some of the other major caves that are easy for people to visit.
