I was blown away by the tour of Jewel Caves. If far exceeded my wildest expectations. I had wanted to bring along my two grandsons aged 2 & 3 and am very pleased I didn't. The booking process was simple and straightforward and I was impressed that we weren't charged more for the experience. The guide was very knowledgeable and engaging and there were excellent opportunities to take pictures all in all a fantastic tour and now really want to visit the Lake Ca

Our tour guide was lovely, she was so knowledgeable but made the experience interesting and fun without telling too many facts. The cave was very cool to see and for the price, I would definitely recommend the experience.

Wow! Incredible! Such an amazing find. Matilda's tour was just fantastic - she was fun, great with the kids and adults alike and very informative about the history and findings and science behind the cave. Felt very safe up and down the stairs and have some incredible photographs. A must do in WA!

What an amazing beautiful cave. Had a fantastic young lady as our very informative tour guide. After our lovely cave tour we popped into the cafe for delicious scones and coffee ☕️. The shop had some lovely items for purchase too. Would definitely recommend a visit.
