    Visited Lake Cave and Mammoth Cave recently and both were absolutely worth the trip. The walks do include quite a few stairs so be prepared for a bit of a work out, but it’s well worth the effort for the chance to experience these incredible caves up close.

    The highlight was the informative guide that we had. The lighting through the cave was remarkable. A stunning experience with a great insight to the past and the evolution of the cave system. Great steps, ladders and decking pathway. The climb out was challenging and definitely takes your breath away. Overall a very good activity to do in the Margaret River region... highly recommend
