Mammoth Cave — Attraction in Boranup

This is our second visit to Margaret River Region. Last year we visited 2 of the caves in the region and decided to explore Mammoth Cave this holiday. The caves are easy to find, there was a good amount of parking when we arrived at opening.

I do recommend always booking online when visiting the caves, as Mammoth cave is a self guided tour you don’t necessarily have to have a time slot as such unlike the other cave’s, however if there was an influx of tourists you may find you aren’t able to participate due to large numbers so to avoid disappointment I’d definitely recommend booking your tickets prior.

We were greeted by the lovely staff members as we entered and were handed our headsets etc for the tour. The member of staff explained clearly how to use them it’s very simple even for children to use. Because the tour is self guided you can view the cave at your leisure. There are points throughout where you have numbers to punch into your recorder so you can hear the guide explain what you are viewing.

The cave is huge it’s an amazing site.

Due to the narrow paths and many steep stairs it’s not suitable for those who are unsteady on their feet or use walking aides or wheelchairs.

After you exit the cave there is a 15 minute walk through the bush via a path which takes you back to the gift shop. There is a road to cross that’s not busy but there is traffic that will be travelling at a reasonable speed so bare that in mind if you have small children with you.

My daughters loved the cave as did we and whilst maybe not quite as fabulous as lake cave or jewel cave it’s still definitely worth a visit. We even see huge beehives situated in the small caverns inside the outside rock walls they were a...

I’ll admit I have always been a little scared of caves, so I wasn’t sure what to expect when visiting Mammoth Cave. To my surprise I absolutely loved it and the experience completely changed how I feel about being underground.

The staff were excellent from the start I especially appreciated the self-guided headset tour. It was easy to follow, full of fascinating facts, and let me explore at my own pace without feeling rushed.

The cave itself is breathtaking with huge chambers, stunning formations, and an atmosphere that feels both humbling and peaceful. While I was nervous at first, I quickly found myself in awe of the place rather than afraid.

At the end, climbing the 160 steps back to the surface was definitely a challenge, but it was very doable with a steady pace and it felt rewarding after the tour.

Overall I cannot recommend Mammoth Cave enough. Even if caves make you a little uneasy like me, the combination of excellent service, a thoughtful self-guided experience, and the sheer beauty of the cave itself makes it an...
