To get to the Ribbon Cave, you must first make your way quickly through the Orient Cave, giving you a very brief opportunity to glimpse the Orient's legendary formations.

Then you reach the Ribbon Cave. While only 60 metres in length, the Ribbon Cave is surely an experience not to be missed. Filed with exquisite formations, the Ribbon Cave also contains historic infrastructure (old iron handrails, chains and electrical fittings), giving it character and a totally different atmosphere to the Orient Cave. You feel like you have stepped back in time.

The Ribbon Cave is fairly low and narrow, so you can examine amazing formations at very close quarters, including helictites, pool rims and the exquisite beauty of the Lily Pads.

The Ribbon Cave is currently open on weekends only and tours have a maximum of 8 people.
