Description

Lake Cave in Boranup Fully-guided, spectacular formations and water reflections. Follow a dramatic stair descent through a sunken karri forest to the cave chamber below. The fully guided tour takes you along the cave's length, where the lake's glassy surface mirrors delicate shawls, flowstones and the iconic Suspended Table - a multi-tonne flowstone shelf poised just above the water. As the region's most active show cave, gentle water movement and dripping formations create a tranquil atmosphere. Watch droplets gather on straw stalactites before they fall into the lake and send ripples across its surface. At the end of the tour, ascend the steps at your own pace through the doline and back into the forest. When planning your descent into your next cave adventure, always travel light, wear enclosed shoes and book in advance to ensure your spot.

Frequently Asked Questions

Join a fully guided one-hour tour beneath the Boranup Forest, beginning your journey with a descent into a natural sinkhole. From here, you follow a staircase weaving through sunken forest, before entering the pristine cave chamber below.

Inside the cave, your friendly guide reveals the delicate formations that make Lake Cave so awe-inspiring. Carefully placed lighting highlights shimmering stalactites, crystal decorations, and the famous 'suspended table' formation, a rare multi-tonne structure that appears to hover above the still waters of the underground lake.

- Pack a water bottle, but no other food or drinks are allowed inside the cave.
- Please wear comfortable shoes and clothing suitable for walking stairs.
- The caves are delicate and fragile. For conservation and safety reasons, we encourage you to limit the items you bring inside. Please leave backpacks in the car.
- Front-worn baby carriers are great for adventures but backpack baby carriers are not permitted.

A reasonable level of fitness is required to join the cave tour.
There are 325 stairs. Your guide will pause at landings along the way to share facts and stories, giving you plenty of time to catch your breath.

Each of the Margaret River Region's show caves offers something different. Lake Cave is the only show cave in the South West with a permanent underground lake, and home to the remarkable 'suspended table' formation, a one-of-a-kind structure weighing over five tonnes that appears to hover above the cave's reflective waters.

It is also the most active "dripping" cave in Western Australia, where droplets fall from delicate formations, creating ripples across the lake's mirror-like surface.
