During the guided journey, you’ll observe delicate crystal straws and stalactites offering their reflection to the water; the presence of the previous year’s rainfall droplets on the tips indicates that these formations are still in the growing phase. This is the cave in the southwest which drips the most and the only one on the Leeuwin-Naturaliste Ridge that boasts a permanent lake.
Your guide, while guiding you through the cave, will explain how the unique beauty of the cave was forged over thousands of years. When sitting at the cave’s end, you’ll witness the evolving beauty of the cave as the guide highlights the incredible formations.
Once you’re back on the surface, enjoy the vistas from the Lake Cave Deck, a fantastic lookout point amidst the treetops. The deck, made out of stunning local wood, features remarkable glass portholes that give views to the cave chamber underneath.
An interpretation centre is available onsite, aiming to broaden your knowledge about the genesis and history of the local, national, and international caves.
- One hour fully-guided tour of Lake Cave.
- Transportation to/from the cave
Lake Cave is an awe-inspiring, untouched crystalline marvel, deeply tucked away beneath the surface - a quintessential limestone cave in Western Australia. In the hour-long guided journey, travelers traverse a staircase back into history, through a magnificent doline (a type of sinkhole), descending towards the base of the subterranean forest - with karri trees looming overhead. Inside the cavern, a serene lake mirrors countless minute crystal clusters. The ‘Suspended Table’ formation is a sight to behold - an impressive crystal adornment weighing several tonnes that dangles from the roof, nearly grazing the pristine lake waters.
