Jenolan Caves

The caves were discovered in 1838 by a convict bushranger. There are nine show caves open to the public with spectacular lighting, underground rivers and cave formations that will amaze you.

Tour guides take you through the caves. Some caves are tougher than others. Jenolan Caves also offer adventure tours, picnic facilities and bush walking tracks. The drive to Jenolan Caves is also a pleasant experience. The natural welcoming of the Grand Arch is unforgettable.The acoustics of the Archway make carols by candlelight at Christmas a truly magical event!
