Beautiful caves near Mount Gambier in South Australia. Well maintained and very well presented. Friendly and knowledgeable staff members. Guided tours are really worth it. Highly recommended to anyone who is looking for anything adventurous.

THIS is the cave you want to spend your money on but buy your tickets in advance. They have tours every half hour but in the busy season and on weekends they can get full. It's a smaller cave but the formations are beautiful and the guides are great. If you're in mt Gambier, definitely visit.

An absolute hidden gem in the Limestone Coast. Tantanoola Cave is one of those places that completely surprises you — small in size but huge in beauty. The moment you step inside, you’re surrounded by stunning formations, soft lighting, and a peaceful atmosphere that makes the whole experience feel almost magical. The guided tour is friendly, informative, and perfect for all ages. It’s one of the most accessible caves in Australia, which means everyone can enjoy it without the long walks or steep climbs you get at other cave sites. If you’re travelling through the region, this is a must‑visit stop. A beautiful, unique, and memorable experience that showcases just how incredible South Australia’s natural wonders really are.

Absolutely amazing. Great cave. Knowledgeable guide as well. Once you enter and have a small presentation, there is time to view the cave and take as many photos as you like. Highly recommended.

Tantanoola Caves are spectacular!!! Our Guide was great with lots of information and kept it interesting without talking too long so we could all have time to soak in the experience and take photos! These caves have the wow factor and are breathtaking! We all thoroughly enjoyed the Cave experience and we also took the option of the self guided cliff top walk afterwards. Highly recommended experience!!!
