I loved this because it was different. There were people with torches etc as you actually have to wade through very deep water which I didn’t as I had someone with me who didn’t go in at all. But even if you don’t want to, still go in as there first little section isn’t that deep and looks great! I went in with my phone in my top so it didn’t get wet. I also wore socks to protect my feet which I recommend. It’s basically a massive cave, there are apparently animals in there which I didn’t see. It said on the sign there were freshwaters in there but they aren’t aggressive unless you bug them. I honestly didn’t see any animals. (And wonder how you wouldn’t bug them when you don’t know where they are, as it’s so so dark in there. Only reason I could see was my phone torch and other peoples torches. But it is awesome.. parts you go through water and some parts just sand banks. Quite quick to get up to the bigger and deeper section if your to go through that part. It’s also very close to the carpark. Maybe 5 min walk to the...
Read moreAn incredible experience - a great stop off if you are travelling along the Gibb River Road or the Great Northern Highway. Informative signage assists in learning about the history of the land, of Jandamarra and the ancient Devonian Reef. It is highly recommended to bring a torch and water shoes, the tunnel is dark and there are slippery rocks to scramble over at times. It is mostly sandy bottom sections of water but some decaying plant matter can feel quite squelchy under foot. Halfway through the tunnel is an open section, and at the end is a lush little spot perfect for a refreshing swim before you make your way back to the carpark. Keep an eye out for little waterfalls along the way inside the tunnel, and be aware that freshwater crocodiles do inhabit the area. In general they are more scared of you than you are of them but they can deliver a nasty bite if provoked so please keep...
Read moreVery unique hike through giant tunnel caves through thigh deep cold water (August 31) in complete darkness at some points. Huge stalagmites and small natural waterfalls/springs. Small catfish and fresh water crayfish in there with you, didn’t see any freshies anywhere. At the end of the tunnel there is a boggy creek area and some walks around to rock art on either side. There are signs and toilets. Bear in mind it is 4WD access with a 40cm water crossing and another smaller water crossing. Takes about an hour and a half coming from the south. There is a lovely free campground just off the track about 1/4 of the way...
