This spectacular cave is one of the Naracoorte Caves’ special treasures. Discovered in 1908, Alexandra Cave is full of speleothems – stalactites, stalagmites, and columns. You’ll be amazed by the contrast between delicate needle-like stalactites and massive twisting columns.

As you walk through, marvelling at how the structures seem to defy gravity, keep an eye open for magnificent helectites and flowstone.

This tour is a good introduction to caves and the geological processes that form them. Your guide will discuss the geology of the region and how the caves were formed.

Alexandra Cave is an easy 30 minute tour through three beautiful chambers. You’ll meet your guide in front of the Wonambi Fossil Centre and it’s a short walk from there to the cave entrance. This tour is ideal for families with small children.

*Please check-in at the Wonambi Fossil Centre 10 minutes prior to your scheduled booking time.*
