At the Mole Creek Caves we offer three unique tours. Each tour is approximately 45- 50 minutes in duration:

Marakoopa Cave
Underground Rivers and Glow-worms: Visit the lower chamber to be dazzled by sparkling crystals and reflective pools. You will be mesmerised by your visit to the glow-worm chamber. To see these little creatures mimic a summer night’s sky is an unforgettable experience. This easy tour caters for all age groups and levels of fitness.
Cathedral, Gardens, and Glow-worms: The magnificent cavern known as the ‘Great Cathedral’ is a highlight not to be missed. The ‘Gardens’ feature delicate formations and beautiful colours. Medium fitness levels are required to ascend the stairway to the ‘Great Cathedral’.
