One and a quarter hour's drive west from Lilianfels Blue Mountains are the Jenolan Caves - a world renowned example of nine richly decorated limestone caves surrounded by a 2,416 hectare wildlife reserve.

The Jenolan Caves are believed to have been first explored by European settlers in 1838. Guided tours and adventure caving to suit individual requirements can be arranged. Open 7 days a week.

Sample tour:
