Capricorn Cave Tour is the premier nature based attraction in Central Queensland. Here you can explore spectacular caves in a limestone ridge and spot little insectivorous bats in certain seasons. These magnificent caves are located north of Rockhampton and winner of many major tourism and environment awards and eco-tourism accreditation.
Cathedral Cave Tour is the most popular with its wheelchair access and the amazing natural acoustics of the Cathedral Chamber. It's a popular venue for weddings, Carols at Christmas and orchestral performances. In December, the natural phenomenon of Summer Solstice Light can be seen on the 11.00 a.m. tour.
For the adventurous, there are wild caving explorations or abseiling. The adrenalin charged caving tours involve underground exploration with the light of a cave helmet and are available on request.
After your tour, enjoy refreshments at the Caves Kiosk or a drink from the licensed Bat Bar, a swim in the pool or cook up a barbecue. A visitor centre provides fascinating information about the local geology, bats and community history.
Bus transfers from Rockhampton accommodation are available three days per week.
