Top Caves & Underground Places in Australia

If you're planning on taking photos, bring a good camera and a tripod. I didn’t, and I regretted it, because my phone pics just didn’t do it justice!

My advice is to take your time exploring the surroundings too! The views outside the caves are just as stunning, and you might find great spots for a picnic.

I suggest wearing comfy shoes since the caves can be slippery. I had to walk carefully and it took away from the experience a little bit!

don't forget to bring a small waterproof bag for your phone or camera, especially if you're planning on getting close to the water. i almost ruined my phone taking a picture!

Bring a light jacket! It can be surprisingly cool down there, even in the summer. I regretted not having one after a few minutes in the cave

If you can, grab the combo ticket for both Ngilgi Cave and Mammoth Cave. It's a great deal, and you save some cash. Plus, it gives you a chance to see more of the stunning landscapes around.

I think the audio guide is super helpful, but I suggest bringing your own headphones to avoid sharing those old ones they have. Also, it cuts down on wait time if you go when it first opens at 9 AM.

i recommend taking your time to enjoy the light show in the main chamber. i rushed through it and regretted not stopping to really appreciate the colors and formations. trust me, it's worth a few extra minutes!

I recommend wearing water shoes if you plan to swim; the rocky areas can be tough on your feet. Trust me, I learned the hard way!

If you're planning to take photos, go around 4 pm for that perfect lighting. The colors are just stunning then

My advice is to bring a picnic; there's a nice spot by the sinkhole, and it saves money instead of buying snacks from nearby shops.

I recommend wearing sturdy shoes! The cave has some uneven terrain and it can get a bit slippery inside, so comfy footwear will save you from any tumbles while exploring
