Discover what lies underground

If you are not interested in wine, the Margaret River region features many fascinating caves that are accessible to the public, particularly if you take advantage of our Margaret River car hire deals so you can freely explore the area.

The popular Lake Cave has a spectacular suspended table crystal formation, and is one of the deepest caves in the region. An onsite interpretive centre can give you extra information about the geology of the cave.

Many caves offer self-guided tours, as well as full tours of the boardwalks. If you are feeling a bit more daring, many companies offer adventure tours of some Margaret River caves, and if you would like a quieter visit, try the more relaxing Mammoth Cave.
