Lake Cave is a stunning chamber with a tranquil, reflective lake and rare suspended table formation. Fully guided one-hour tours take you into a pristine chamber beneath the karri forest.

Inside Lake Cave, a tranquil lake mirrors the delicate crystal formations suspended above. It’s a magical experience and a dazzling visual display of some of nature’s finest work.

Descend a staircase through an ancient sinkhole known as a doline and into a sunken forest to reach this magnificent cave, which features dripping formations and a beautifully reflective underground lake.

Fully guided one-hour tours take you into a pristine chamber beneath the karri forest. Your guide uses lighting to highlight various features within the cave while sharing interesting facts and stories.

You will witness the rare ‘suspended table’ formation, a one-of-a-kind structure that hovers above a reflective lake. This cave is the region’s most active ‘dripping’ cave, where droplets fall from delicate stalactites, creating ripples in the lake.

Completely fascinated by the fact we were 65M below ground level and right under the highway. Great light show. The most exciting part, this is an active cave. You can see a lot of dripping water everywhere and if you look closely all the straws are dripping water. Tour guide Sophia was very very good. Explained all the details perfectly and made the tour more memorable by the way she tells stories with some jokes. Highly recommend to visit if you’re on the area.

Unique place. Our tour was guided by Sophie, who showed us every single detail about the cave and its history, fun facts and very interesting stories (it’s worth mentioning that she’s a nice photographer too). You can tell that the people who work there love their job, which is admirable.

This guided cave tour is worth it! Very interesting and fun experience. We had Oceania as our guide and she was so friendly and knowledgeable, an awesome guide who is hope to have again if we come back. The cave is a bit chilly so I recommend burning a jumper or cardigan. Pictures are allowed with a flash inside the cave. There are a lot of steps to climb down and then back up to get into and out of the place, i recommend keeping this in mind if you have any physical limitations

We took a road trip of more than three hours (one way) from Perth CBD to Margaret River and booked a visit to Lake Cave. The journey was long but absolutely worth it! This was our first time visiting a cave in Australia, and we were amazed by its beauty. The cave itself is stunning, with incredible formations and a peaceful underground lake that adds to the magical atmosphere. The guided tour was informative, nice and friendly making the experience even more enjoyable. Definitely a must-visit if you’re in the Margaret River nearby.
