About this tour
Explore Mulwaree Cave on a guided 1-hour tour through Wombeyan Karst Conservation Reserve. Your National Parks guide leads you past 430-million-year-old limestone formations, pointing out stalactites, stalagmites, and mineral-stained walls shaped by ancient water seepage. The walk involves a moderately steep 500m gravel path from the carpark and modest underground steps, but rewards steady walkers with a close look at living geology.

What to expect
Expect a 15-minute walk uphill on a gravel path before reaching the cave entrance. Inside, your guide will point out how water has carved chambers and built decorations over millions of years. The cave floor can be slippery underfoot, so wear sturdy footwear. You'll descend modest steps to view formations at close range. The tour takes about an hour total, with the cave portion typically lasting 45 minutes. Bring a light jumper; it stays cold year-round.
Good to know
Wear closed shoes with good grip. The 500m entrance walk is steep—allow 15 minutes from the carpark. Cave temperature holds at 15°C regardless of season. No food inside the cave. Prams won't fit. Children need adult supervision. Moderate fitness required; those with mobility issues should contact the reserve beforehand.
