Additional information & FAQs

Spotting wildlife such as kangaroos and kookaburras are a common request on a Jenolan Caves and Blue Mountains Tour. However, it depends on the time, Blue Mountains national park entry rules, and weather. Please let us (Sydney Top Tours) know before you book the tour and we advise the possibilities of spotting wildlife.

How far is the Jenolan caves from Sydney?

The Jenolan Caves are a natural wonder of Australia. These caverns are considered to be among the world’s oldest limestone caves. Jenolan caves are located 2.45 hours (174 km) from Sydney, in a rural valley in the southern Blue Mountains National Park. Jenolan Caves can easily be included in your Blue Mountains day tour. Because there is no public transportation from Sydney to Jenolan Caves, the best way to explore them is a Sydney-based guided day excursion.

What is the best cave to visit in Jenolan caves?

Without question, the Jenolan Caves as a whole is breathtaking, and picking just one or two caves to visit would be difficult. Nonetheless, it is a subjective choice as to which cave you consider the best. However, if you’re on a tight schedule and won’t be able to see all of the caverns, we recommend skipping Lucas Cave, one of Jenolan’s most stunning caves. However, remember that getting to the cave inside would require a rigorous 1000-step stair climb.

Do I have to be physically fit to do a cave tour?

If you wish to go on a cave trip, you must be physically fit. Visitors to the Jenolan caves must climb a series of stairwells, crawl, and squeeze or even creep through ancient corridors. Hence, people with back pain, heart problems, or claustrophobia should avoid undertaking any cave tour. That being said, Jenolan caves provide a variety of excursions, including show tours, adventure tours, night tours, kids tours, and multilingual self-guided tours. As a result, before deciding on a tour, extensively research the options and the level of physical fitness required.

Can I see Platypus, rock wallabies and native birds at Jenolan caves?

Because Jenolan caves are located within a large nature reserve, you may expect to see a wide variety of fauna. The rock wallabies can be sighted near the big arch if you take the six-foot track path. Platypus appeared during the summer months at the Blue Lake, however, the area is closed at the moment due to conservations. The Jenolan caves cottage is the best-hidden spot to see wild kangaroos.

Are there any restaurants for lunch at Jenolan caves?

Yes, there are three places where you can dine. You can choose between Chisolm’s Restaurant, Jeremiah’s Bar and Lounge, and Caves Cafe, depending on when and what you plan to eat.

    Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 最高の思い出になりました！ ブルーマウンテンズの景色は絶景で、 道中はロープウェイなどの移動があったので体力もあまり使わず、多少階段の上り下りができれば、家族連れやシニア向けでも可能でした！ 動物園よ、程よいコンパクトならサイズで、 1h-1.5h回れればオーストラリア固有種をしっかり見れて、一部餌やり体験もできるので大満足でした！

    Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Rocky took us out to the Blue Mountains for a full day and we couldn't fault it. Knowledgeable, easy company, and he judged the pace of the day exactly right — we never felt rushed and never stood around waiting. He accommodated our requests about walking and added Govetts Leap at Blackheath, which turned out to be a highlight. His lunch recommendations were spot on too. We enjoyed the day immensely. Thoroughly recommended.
