About this tour
Explore Ngilgi Cave on your own terms, starting with an accessible walking trail through Yallingup bushland dotted with interactive displays about the land's cultural heritage and geological story. The path descends into the limestone cave system beneath the Leeuwin-Naturaliste ridge, where you'll encounter dramatic formations—stalactites, stalagmites, helictites and mineral-stained rock faces. Staff stationed along the route offer insights when you want them. The full experience takes around 90 minutes.

What to expect
You'll start above ground on an easy-to-navigate trail winding through native bushland with stops explaining how the cave formed and its cultural significance to the Yawuru people. The path gradually leads downward into the cave itself. Once inside, you'll see the full range of geological formations—some formations hang from the ceiling, others rise from the floor, and many are stained in ochre and cream tones from mineral deposits. The cave stays cool year-round. You move through it at your own pace; staff members scattered throughout can answer questions or share stories, but there's no formal guided talk.
Good to know
Moderate fitness needed for walking and some steps. Wear comfortable shoes with grip. The cave maintains a steady cool temperature, so bring a light layer. Service animals welcome. Allow 90 minutes total. The trail is well-maintained and accessible.
