Jewel Cave is the biggest show cave in Western Australia, with three massive chambers of incredible beauty. This crystal-encrusted cave is the most recently opened of all the show caves in the Margaret River region.
Jewel Cave is an extremely well decorated cave, containing many beautiful examples of delicate helectites, cave coral, pendulites, a very large stalagmite called ‘The Karri Forest’, and beautiful examples of flowstone such as ‘The Frozen Waterfall’ and ‘the Organ-pipes’.

Fossilised remains of several Tasmanian Tigers or 'Thylacines' have been discovered within Jewel Cave's chambers, safely preserved more than 3000 years after the unusual marsupial became extinct on mainland Australia. There is a skeleton of a thylacine on display in the Jewel Cave centre.

A short walk trail meanders through the forest above the cave, passing the interesting 'original entrance' to the cave. Lunch or light refreshments are available at the Jewel Cave Cafe, complimented by views of the surrounding karri forest.

The cave is an astounding sight to see, really makes you wonder how lucky we are to be a part of this planet. Make sure to book beforehand as slots can be filled up really fast. Parking is abundant, but if you’re coming on a public holiday, it might get tricky.

Beautiful cave. The tour guide was amazing. Very knowledgeable and abit too overwhelmed for my mind. Which is actually good, not negative at all. It makes me read more about the cave information and history.

This is an experience not to be missed. First time in a cave and I would highly recommend a guided tour (such as this) for the first time. Teaching all about stalactites, stalagmites and all the other incredible formations. Showing us the different sections of the cave and how many thousands of years it took. Incredible.

Amazing as always, the experience has changed a lot since my last visit 9 years ago, but it was still just as wonderful! Our guide, Josh, was fun, informative, and passionate about the tour, also very kind when my partner needed some help at the end of the tour. Can't recommend this gorgeous cave and it's lovely team of guides and caretakers enough!
