About this experience

Wollondilly Cave is the longest and most diverse cave at Wombeyan. Book a guided tour with a NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service Guide to see the stunning features of this sparkling 5-level cave. A trip to Wombeyan Karst Conservation Reserve wouldn’t be complete without a visit.

The limestone in the caves of Wombeyan Karst Conservation Reserve is 430 million years old. The geological processes that have created the magnificent cave system you see today continue to work their magic. You'll notice the impressive cave decorations, including stalactites and stalagmites, that are created by the infiltration of water into the caves.
