Visit the ‘secret gem’ of the Jenolan Caves in the Blue Mountains
The Jenolan Caves are by far the most popular tourist attraction in the Australian state of New South Wales. Around 250,000 visitors come to see the 11 spectacular caves every year. When the Aboriginals inhabited the region thousands of years ago, they called the caves ‘Binoomea’, meaning ‘dark places’.
The spellbinding formations in an array of bewitching colours are absolutely fascinating. While admiring the caves, you are surrounded by a surreal silence, broken only by the occasional sounds of dripping water. There are viewing caves as well as caves that are used for adventure caving – an activity that is rapidly growing in popularity.
The caves are located in the Blue Mountains of New South Wales, and they are definitely a must-see for any visitor. It is the most outstanding cave system in Australia, and one of the oldest and most impressive systems in the world. Unbelievable! Awesome! Incredible! Amazing! These are just some of the comments you will hear from people exiting the caves.
When visiting this hidden gem, there are a number of guided tours and activities on offer for all fitness levels and age groups. There are lots of excellent accommodation establishments in the area catering for every taste and budget. Jenolan is a perfect venue for weddings and honeymoons, school field trips, concerts, and business conventions.
To truly appreciate the beauty of the caves, you really need to stay here for a couple of days. Bear in mind that pets are not permitted because the area has been proclaimed a national park. Also, the road leading to the valley can be somewhat difficult to negotiate for caravans.
If you take a guided tour of the caves, you will receive a special pass. This will entitle you to big discounts on other tours, as well as admission to the new and exciting Devil’s Coach/Nettle Cave. This can be explored at your own pace with an easy-to-use audio handset.

Your product launch, staff team building activity, exhibition, seminar, or convention will certainly give your clients or colleagues something to remember. Event rooms are available for these purposes at a number of Jenolan hotels. Cave tours and other fun activities will be arranged for you.
