Commencing April 29, we lead you, as you ride the fire of your imagination through 2 of our most spectacular caves. This experience is not for the faint of heart!
Start in the dazzling Orient Cave. Ascend into breath-taking Persia, then down, down, into exotic India, Egypt and the enchanting Crystal Basin. Descend even deeper, into the blackest depths of the Mud Tunnels. Then up again, until the ‘Temple of Baal’ cave opens above, where the crystal wings of angels hold back the powers of ancient pagan gods! No sacrifices today, on those stony altars! Press on, through the long, steep dragon’s throat, as it twists up, up, and out into daylight, at last! Phew! What an amazing journey!
If you are coming all the way to Jenolan, you might want to consider also booking accommodation and dinner, for a getaway to remember.

TRAFFIC CONTROL DELAYS - ARRIVE WITH ESCORT VEHICLE:
Edith Road is the only access to Jenolan. On Edith Road, 3 kms before Jenolan, at the top of the steep valley descent, STOP AT THE BARRIER. The descent is now one-way, so Transport for NSW will escort your vehicle 3km down to our carpark. From there, you can walk to the precinct or transfer to our free shuttle bus, if you're in the upper carpark, to take you all the way down to the caves and hotel. Escort vehicles run every 20-minutes.
To be on time for your tour, please arrive at the barrier (3km from the caves) *** at least 1 HOUR BEFORE YOUR FIRST BOOKED ACTIVITY.***
LEAVE WITH ESCORT VEHICLE:
Escort vehicles leave our car park every 20 minutes, to accompany vehicles back up the hill.
Note: If you travel via Katoomba, you must get to Edith road via a 30-MINUTE DETOUR ON JENOLAN CAVES ROAD. (See our ‘Getting Here’ webpage.) To arrive at Jenolan safely, give yourself a couple of hours extra travel time. If you arrive too early, take advantage of our bushwalks, café and giftshop.
