The Crystal Caves offers guests an interactive tour of
a truly unique underground Cave system which visitors are
able to explore at their leisure, and where they can see, touch
and feel the ancient treasures of the earth. Enlarged several
times since it was initially created back in 1986, The
Caves is being constantly updated, with new displays and specimens
added regularly.
Guests are given a miners helmet, a light and a comprehensive
map with printed guide before they set off on their self-guided
tour. This is a truly special experience!
The Crystals, minerals and fossils on display in The Caves
have been collected over four decades by our founders and
still current owners, René and Nelleke Boissevain,
and is one of the most acclaimed in Australia. (Click

from South America, Africa, Madagascar, Europe and the outback
of Australia are all on display in this spectacular setting.
René's vision has always been that people should
be able to see, touch and feel the special crystals and minerals
on display as much as possible, and that ideal continues in The
Caves today. Guests are able to move throughout the cave system
at their own pace using the printed guide provided to identify
and learn about the spectacular specimens.
Photography is welcome and is encouraged throughout The
Caves and guests with cameras are able leave with beautiful
photographs of the wonders that they have seen.
Guests need to allow up to one full hour to experience all that
The Crystal Caves has to offer. (Click
