Capricorn Caves Tour
A day to the ancient limestone caves near Rockhampton — the soaring Cathedral Cave and optional adventure caving, with the drive and the guided tour handled.
A Capricorn Caves Tour
Just inland from the coast, the Capricorn Caves are one of Central Queensland’s great surprises — a labyrinth of limestone carved into a reef more than 390 million years old, with a soaring natural Cathedral Cave famous for its acoustics. Our tour takes the drive off your hands and pairs it with the caves’ own expert guided tour, so you get the geology, the history and the wow-factor without the logistics.
It’s an easy, memorable day from the coast (about 45 minutes each way), and a brilliant change of pace from the beach. Read the background in our Capricorn Caves guide.
