Yes, photography is encouraged from the viewing platforms, but for safety reasons is not recommended when walking on the stairs.

You can use a flash, but most people find that they get better photos without it.

Tripods and selfie-sticks are not allowed in the cave. This is to ensure the safety of all visitors and the preservation of the delicate cave decorations, as well as adhering to timing constraints.

Ngilgi Cave is actually quite warm, maintaining a reasonably constant temperature of 20 ̊C.

Yes, all the caves and both lighthouses are open, even if the weather is very wet.

Since there are quite a few steps involved in most of the tours, comfortable enclosed shoes are recommended, however you can still do the tours in thongs/flip flops/jandals if you feel you are able to.

The caves are fragile environments, and we try to minimise our impact on these irreplaceable natural attractions as much as possible; for this reason we ask visitors not to bring too much into the cave with them (remember also you will have to carry it while climbing!)

Do bring a camera and water if you need; but no other drinks, and no food. Depending on the weather; sunscreen, a hat and/or wet weather gear may be required. A jacket is sometimes required at the lighthouses, even in the summer months, as the wind at the Capes can be quite ‘invigorating’!

You do not need a torch. There is excellent lighting throughout the caves, and on guided tours the guide will operate these as you move through the cave, as well as using a torch to highlight points of interest.

As you walk through the caves, there will be places where you are required to bend down a little, or turn to the side slightly to avoid bumping your head or shoulder, but most of the caverns are quite open. 

Yep! Ages 4+ are allowed on this tour but all children under 17 must be accompanied by an adult.
