Two magnificent working sentinels guard our coast. Cape Naturaliste Lighthouse in the north is an easy climb, and Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse in the south is Australia's tallest mainland lighthouse. You'll be rewarded with spectacular ocean views and perhaps spot a whale if you're lucky.
Your Margaret River Region is as spectacular underneath the ground as it is on top. Over 100 highly decorated limestone caves lie beneath the surface of the Leeuwin-Naturaliste Ridge. Four of these incredible caves are open to the public 364 days a year via guided or semi-guided tours.
Your Margaret River Region is home to over 100 caves, nestled in the spine of the Leeuwin-Naturaliste Ridge.
Formed approximately 1 million years ago, a number of these complex and fragile karst systems are open to the public. Go inside and be amazed by these massive labyrinths decorated intricately with limestone crystal formations.
Cave tours range from easy ‘at your own pace’ self-guided tours, guided tours along boardwalks, adventure hard-hat tours to extremely adventurous expeditions.
The Cape Naturaliste Lighthouse, near Dunsborough and Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse, near Augusta stand as guardians of the oceans, tall and dignified.
Continuing to serve their lifesaving purpose from dusk to dawn, by day these lighthouses offer a unique experience of going inside and up to the top of a working lighthouse. Enjoy breathtaking views across the treacherous oceans and the Leeuwin-Naturaliste National Park. Learn about the history and listen to stories of unimaginable tragedy and rescue.
Housed in the second of the lighthouse keeper’s cottages, this wonderful interpretive exhibition uses artefacts, short stories, interactive technology and a large-scale animated film, allowing visitors to encounter fascinating stories about the men, women and children who once lived at the tallest lighthouse in mainland Australia.
“Ngilgi was the last of the four caves for us, and as far as a relaxed, up close and personal caving experience goes, it was amazing. The semi-guided tour left us just inside the entrance and gave us free reign to explore the cave at our own pace. It was awesome!”
Damien, Ngilgi Cave“Having visited the Cape Leeuwin lighthouse a few days ago, this was a must. Paid for the lighthouse tour with excellent , informative and entertaining guide, Margaret. Unfortunately, started to rain and then pour on the way to and while in the lighthouse, so views from the very windy deck mainly mist and cloud, but the tour was still well worth it.”
Gregory, Cape Naturaliste Lighthouse“One of the most beautiful places I've ever been. One of those places that actually hits you right in the feels of how amazing this planet is!”
Corey, Lake Cave
