Capricorn Caves Review

Incredible place to visit, one of the best tours I've ever done.

This place is absolutely amazing and beautiful and I would absolutely go there again

Enjoy it very much especially the trail of death & our wonderful tour guide would highly recommend

We the cathedral tour today, spectacularly done.
Wear enclosed shoes and take insect repellent ;)

Capricorn Caves at The Caves township is a fantastic tour that takes you inside an above ground cave even though it doesn t feel like it. There is a bat colony that lives within some of the caves and they are protected but you can hear them and are lucky enough to to catch a glimpse from Rome to time. The Cathedral is beautiful and the acoustics are something special.

It was awesome after the end you just want to explore more parts, and the amount of stuff you learn about your backyard it spins you out

We had a really great time at Capricorn Caves on the Cathedral tour! Our guide, Phil, was really knowledgeable and enthusiastic. The caves are in amazing condition and are obvously being well cared for by current management. Great job! I would recommend the tours wholehartedly - it was one of the highlights of our holiday!

My sons (4 & 7yo) really took a particular liking to Phil's accounts of the areas ancient fauna, specifically Thylacoleo! I have included some images of some t-shirts I made for them - I thought Phil might get a kick out of what he started!

Incredible experience in a cave full of bats! Seeing the natural surroundings and learning how it got to where it is today after soooooo many years!

Above ground caves with a fascinating story, how it was found, the geology and rare species that inhabit the area. Our tour guide was great!

The standard cathedral walk tour is rather dull and I can't recommend it to anyone who isn't retired or into rocks. I can't imagine children would be able to keep focused because of the slow pace and tameness of the caves themselves. I would say that maybe the adventure tour would be worth it to anyone looking for a fun activity, but unfortunately I couldn't call the cathedral walk tour fun or even particularly interesting.

Excellent location, great attraction and very very spacious cabins.

My husband, son (1 year old) and I stayed a night here and wished we stayed longer.

The cabins were excellent and could not have asked for more.

The attraction of the caves itself was well worth the drive. If your traveling near Rocky, I would recommend the caves as the place to stay.

Signage for costs and parking a little confusing, maybe just for me?

Very small place but Katherine was very good and explain all tour everything very well. Staff was very friendly..

Unfortunately really poor management around correct information on bookings

I came here as a teacher with a school group. We as a school thoroughly enjoyed our time here except for all the rain. We'd like to thank all who were involved as the students really enjoyed their time here. Also like to mention the chef's, as it was agreed upon between us teachers that this was the best school camp food we have ever had. I'm sure we will be back in the future!

Fantastic tour- guide was amazing; highly recommend.

Tour guide Phil made it very informative and enjoyable

Had a great tour of these beautiful caves definitely worth a visit. Was made all the better by our guide Mattea who very knowledgeable and friendly.

Great limestone caves experiences.
Capricorn Caves take tourists through some of the caves in Limestone Ridge (but none of the caves in Mount Etna).
They have tours to suit all age groups.

Our guide Emily was fun and informative. Took us through the cave on a guided tour with wood walkways and lights telling us the history and the discovery of the Caves. Was sceptical about an hour long tour but once started the cave was very interesting and made it through without noticing the time. A musical cathedral with lights in the middle and thousands of bats are in the middle of the cave systems. Just majestic! Thanks Emily. Would come again

This is a must see for anyone young or old! The tour guides are fabulous with great service. You can either explore the caves or get down and get dirty caving. Absolutely a must do for all!

Went on the cathedral tour. A fantastic adventure through a dry Cave network. Our tour guide was super knowledgeable and enthusiastic. We'll work the money. Note to those with little infants or taller/larger individuals you are given an option to exit through the zigzag passages at the end of the tour. These are very very tight and with our 8month old only barely managed to get through. Would reccomend the easy option instead.

Amazing limestone caves. Our guide - sorry, I forget his name... - was such a nice and funny guy, made all the difference! We loved the music and light at the Cathedral, super exciting!

What a magical morning we had. We done 2 tours in the caves and loved both of them. Our guides were amazing and made the whole experience fun and safe.

Great little trip out to the caves. The tour guide knew her stuff and made it fun and interactive for all. Included in our tour were small families and myself a single traveler. So good for all. Thanks for the great coffee and fantastic service!

Basic camping, cabins, powered & unpowered sites available at reasonable prices with camp kitchens available, flush toilets, laundry & hot showers.
The Caves are the only privately owned caves in Australia & has been in the same family for generations, well worth the tour.

The cathedral was amazing especially with the lighting and music effects. We were hoping to do the Explorer tour but missed out. Would definitely recommend the caves and the longer tours to see more of this wonderful natural wonder.

This was the wifes idea so wasn't to sure at first -seen one cave seen them all -but I was very impressed and the experience was worth every moment. Great guides and storey re history and was lucky enough to see sun beam as was a cloudy day -If you are considering this tour I would encourage you to do so -Was great -loved it

Thanks to cassey for a wonderful tour of the cave's today wood highly recommend to see

Great experience with guide Phil. Funny tour and easy for kids

We went on the cathedral tour of the caves. Even with mums knee reconstruction she managed quite well. It was amazing. Once in the cathedral music is played and they have lights change the look of the cave before plunging into total darkness for the rest of the song. It was breathtaking. A couple swing bridges out and its definitely something to check out. There are even adventure tours if you want to try something a bit harder.

Remarkably good guided tour of the paleontology of the caves. The caves are a rich source of fossils and have yielded quite a lot of information for researchers, with some digs still in progress. The story of how the original owners got the caves is priceless. In many ways it was fortunate that the caves were privately owned so that they weren't ground into cement. Very informative tour by a member of the staff.

Had a fantastic time doing the Capricorn Adventurer tour yesterday Keegan was a fantastic guide (Despite his jokes ).
I just wish we took our phones with us on the tour for photos.
For anyone considering doing this tour, I would highly recommend doing it, and if you have a decent case on your phone, then bring it along for photos!

-About the powered site-
The camproung was nice, it had a big camp kitchen with a fireplace, big bathrooms and a laundry. The location was also very good.
It's near to a nice pub, which it's also not expensive and has the Capricorn Caves complex in it. Staying a night in the campground allows you to have a little discount for the caves tour.

The caves were awesome and the tour was very well done. Our guide was Kathrine and explained us everything, making all unique.
Maybe 30$ is a little bit expensive for an hour tour, but it is worth it.

Been 17years since I was last there. Completed the cathedral and fossil tours. Very beautiful unique place. Coffee was good too.

The staff were super friendly and extra helpful. Our deluxe cabin was amazing, beds were super comfy. Lovely and warm. Wheel chair accessible cabin. The caves cathedral tour Is amazing. Our guide (katherine) was very knowledgeable and very easy to talk to. A real 'must do' with the family

Really enjoyed our tour of the caves.
Great narrative from our guide.
If you can do the tour, do it.

Loved these dry caves, great tour guide. One of the caves is set up for weddings, with a separate reception area. Fantastic acoustics.

Interesting set of caves. If you've never seen caves well worth it.

Worth the tour. The tour guide is friendly and knowledgeable and enternable. Fit for anyone. Do booking online before you go these days because of covid restrictions, only small groups allowed

The presentation by the guide was descriptive including the history of the site.

The place is astonishing, and the caves are amazing. There is so little light pollution that you can really see a great night sky, and you can spot rock wallabies if you're lucky too! A special thanks to Emily who stayed a bit longer and let us in (say hello to Kevin! All of them!)

Loved the caves and that one of the visitors played his Didgeridoo in the Cathederal Cave. The acustics in there are fantastic.

Absolutely recommend the Caves, affordable and worth the visit, wow something so amazing in Centrsl Qld

Beautiful views and the tour guide Caity was amazing and so patient as we took photos

Guide was knowledgeable, although he was relatively new. Would like to have been able to go further in, without having to go actually caving.
Looking at taking a group of young people through.

Great experience. Length of walk and show of lights was great.

Fantastic tour with very knowledgeable guides, thoroughly enjoyed it

Our family did the cave tour with Christian this afternoon at 3pm he was very knowledgeable and a great tour guide. He handled the what felt like 20000 questions from our 4 children very well.
Thank you so much for a great experience.

Worth stopping into. Tour guide was fabulous. Would of loved to fo the longer walk. A must place to see.

Our grandsons,loved it.
Very relaxed,need to come again..

Absolutely awesome experience. Well worth the visit and will be back for sure. Kids 1yr and 4yrs absolutely loved it and were well catered for. Cathedral was absolutely amazing.

Great site, definitely worth doing the adventure tour! Had a great time filled with adrenaline, fun and challenges. Keagan was our instructor and he was very helpful. Definitely would do it again, I recommend it!

Just right if you are traveling with small children. Tour takes about an hour every hour. Good coffee available. Guide with a sense of humour

A truly beautiful place to visit.
Excellent for all ages and Phil was a fantastic guide. Would highly recommend

My second visit, third if you count the opera. The adventure tour is fabulous, very informative guide and a very physically challenging tour, loved it

If you haven't experienced caves before, the Cathedral guided tour is a great way to be introduced. Pete, the tour guide is personable, passionate and knowledgeable. A great experience and history behind the caves. Well worth the effort.

Not bad.
Short tour, long talking.

Do yourself a big favor and visit these Caves for a tour. Wonderful experience.

Absolutely must see experience! I did the Cathedral Cave and it is a stunning place to visit and an amazing tour! Highly Recommended

Good access for wheelchairs, interesting stop, nice cool Caves on a hot day! Engaged tour guides. Great accommodation

Fantastic tour, absolutely amazing caves and Pete our guide was the best so passionate highly recommend this tour

Amazing attraction! Wonderful attentive staff with great facilities. The coffee is pretty good as well! Do the night tour and don't miss the Cathedral! Can't wait to go back during the summer solstice!

Best time ever! Katie , our guide was amazing!!! Adventure tour was challenging , some small spaces which were a little confronting but we conquered them with no trouble... DEFINITELY GOING BACK FOR MORE... Thanks again Katie and the Team xo

Accomodation was beautiful, peaceful and relaxing and bed in the cabin was so comfortable. Cave tour was excellent the tour guide unfortunately I cant remember his name but he was so knowledgeable and made it enjoyable for both adults and kids. Only let down was the customer service when checking us in for the accomodation and tour the woman was a wet blanket with no personality but wasn't going to let her spoil the afternoon/night.

2 hours adventure tour booked ... which was very exciting but not for people with claustrophobia. The guide Christian was very dedicated and enthausiatisch and had a wide knowledge.

Great Tour, not too wet, very enthusiastic attendant Kath.

Best place to explore nature and the wonder of caves and prehistoric animals. The kids loved doing the fossil tour and getting to look at animal bones

Nice tour, small group. Bats are really fascinating.
