About:
Jewel Cave is the biggest show cave in Western Australia, with four massive chambers. It is also home to one of the longest straw stalactites found in any tourist cave in the world. Let your imagination run wild with waves, candle wax, coral, forests, vegetables, jellyfish and everything in between to be seen in the calcium sculptures. This recently discovered wilderness with its intricate decorations and sheer magnitude is home to one of the longest straw stalactites to be found in any tourist cave.
In 2011, Jewel Cave was awarded a gold medal in the “Tourist Attractions” category at the WA Tourism Awards, as well as a silver in the Eco Tourism Category. Jewel Cave is also home to the spectacular new Jewel Cave Preservation Centre which features retail and cafe facilities complete with an interpretive area that will take visitors on an educational, visual and inspiring fifty-year journey.
