Mimbi Caves Tours — Attraction in Mueller Ranges

If I was rating just the caves I would give five stars, the caves are impressive but this rating is taking into account some deficiencies with the tour. Our tour guide was lovely and shared interesting stories about the local culture and he had a fun sense of humour. However he was very softly spoken and as we were a large group it was often difficult to hear him. He sometimes provided information before everyone was assembled so again that information was lost. In the second (larger) cave some people got separated from the main group because the guide did not inform everyone that he was exiting via a different route. In the first cave there are stepping stones along shallow water, two people in our group slipped their foot into the water. The stepping stones could be better placed and perhaps a few extra stones placed. The terrain is quite rugged. The campsite is ok but be aware that there is no shelter from sun,...

I thoroughly agree with Simon Thomas. Maybe $25 - $30 each would have been an acceptable price but $80 was huge for what we got. We expected much more comparing it with other tours. Whilst Germaine was a really nice person, if he wants to be a guide, he needs to show more enthusiasm. His half hearted dream time story sounded as if it was invented there & then. When I asked him where do people have a little swim, he pointed to a puddle of water about children's wading pool size & said we could go in there 😳 The drawings were interesting & his damper & cup of tea was very nice but that was it. The caves are interesting to a degree but no lighting at all. I hate writing an unfavourable review but we wasted a lot of hard earned money that day & especially as we'd driven 90 klms each way to see the caves. Sorry but way,...

We booked for the 8am tour of the Mimbi caves. Our guide for the tour was Jermaine who arrived at the car park where everyone was waiting. There were 23 of us in total and only the one guide. Although the cave system and the surrounding canyon/area is impressive enough the tour itself was extremely poor….if you are anywhere near the back of the group you will hear nothing….As nice as Jermaine seemed he was either hopelessly out of his depth OR not having a great morning. We decided to opt out of the tour after the first hour and made our way back to our vehicle….at $90 per adult it is shockingly overcrowded, overpriced, understaffed and in honestly very underwhelming. The 8am tour generated over $2000….so it should be so so much better and more professional. I personally don’t think I could ever really recommend...
