The Cape Naturaliste Lighthouse has an easy climb of 59 stairs, making this lighthouse one of the most popular attractions in the Margaret River Region – and accessible even for small children.

The Cape Naturaliste Lighthouse precinct has recently been beautifully restored; to preserve and reveal the fascinating maritime history of the Cape region. Half-hour guided tours provide a captivating insight into the functions of the working lighthouse, as well as stories of tragic shipwrecks, the hard lives of the lighthouse keepers, and even a ghost story or two.
From the top balcony of the lighthouse visitors are rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views of the Indian Ocean, Leeuwin-Naturaliste National Park and the beautiful Geographe Bay coastline. The new observation platform at the base of the lighthouse tower also allows for incredible coastal views and photography.

Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse is the tallest lighthouse of mainland Australian and is situated at the tip of a spectacular peninsula where the Southern and Indian Oceans meet.

Visitors take a trip through maritime history and learn how this famous landmark was constructed from local limestone in 1895, and how it's is still a vital working lighthouse for vessels navigating the treacherous cape. Guided half-hour tours go right to the top of the tower, where both the vast seascape of crashing waves, and the beautiful wilderness of the cape are revealed. A new Interpretive Centre, housed in one of the original lighthouse keepers' cottages, celebrates the history and lives of the numerous lighthouse keepers who were custodians of this rugged coastline. Using artefacts and stories, interactive technology and a large-scale animated film, visitors can discover fascinating insights into the lives of the men, women and children who once lived at the tallest lighthouse in mainland Australia.

Ngilgi is an exquisitely decorated cave; and it was Western Australia’s first tourist attraction. It is home to incredible stalactites, stalagmites, helictites and beautifully coloured shawls.

The Semi-Guided tour is approximately one-hour duration and leads visitors into the first chamber of the cave, where they learn about the importance of the cave’s discovery, its role as Western Australia’s first tourist attraction, and gain insight into the early days of cave exploration in the area. Visitors can then explore the rest of the cave at their own pace, with another guide stationed in the centre of the cave to answer questions and provide further information.

Mammoth Cave is the most easily accessible of all the show caves in the region, with wheelchair access to the first chamber and MP3 audio tours available in English, French, German, Malay, and Mandarin.

Entering the cave through bushland via a gently sloping boardwalk, visitors set their own pace as they explore this natural time capsule; more than 10,000 fossils had at one time accumulated inside the cave. When excavated many of these fossils were found to be the remains of long-extinct giant animals, Australian Megafauna! Visitors can even view the 50,000-year-old 'zygomaturus' jawbone still embedded in the cave wall. After emerging back above ground, the optional bushwalk back to the guide’s station offers visitors the chance to enjoy the magnificent marri and karri forest surrounding the cave.

Lake Cave is a stunning pristine chamber deep beneath the earth. Inside the cave a tranquil lake mirrors the delicate crystal formations on the roof above, providing reflections that are simply breathtaking.

Visitors descend a staircase in time, through a spectacular sinkhole, gazing up at the towering karri trees from the floor of the sunken forest. Inside the cave a tranquil lake reflects the delicate crystal formations that grow from the cave roof. Droplets hang from the tips of straws and stalactites, before dropping to the cave floor or into the lake, creating ripples in the water. Visitors marvel at the unique 'Suspended Table' formation, which weighs several tonnes and seems to defy gravity as it hovers above the clear lake water. As the guide changes the lights to focus on different features within the cave, incredible views and silhouettes are etched in the darkness.

Jewel Cave is the biggest show cave in Western Australia; comprising three massive chambers. It is also home to one of the longest straw stalactites found in any tourist cave in Australia. Entering Jewel Cave is a magical experience, with a dazzling visual display of some of nature's finest and most meticulous work.

Fully guided one-hour tours showcase the breathtaking magnitude of Jewel Cave. Visitors will see towering crystal creations that have taken thousands of years to form, and intricate decorations stretching and suspended across the ceiling, like vines and dancing cobwebs. They'll also hear stories of the now-extinct Tasmanian Tigers that fell into the cave and perished. The awe-inspiring crystal journey is perfectly complemented with the option of a self-guided Karri Walk through towering forest giants, at the end of the visit.
