Tour guide was helpful, friendly & had a wealth of knowledge about the caves and the area in general. Worth a visit if you are up that way touring. Not far from Wing's Wildlife Park & the Leven Canyon, so all three could be incorporated into a day trip from say Ulverstone, certainly during day-light savings (probably all 3 a bit much during autumn/winter months).Take a jacket as can get cool. Check opening hours during winter months as it may be closed due to flooding etc.
HiIt seems your review is about Wings Wildlife Park and not Gunns Plains Caves although I notice you have also reviewed Wings Wildlife Park. Hopefully you did visit Gunns Plains Caves and enjoyed your visit to us. Cheers
Went down with the family and one other group and had a brilliant tour. Geoff was fantastic, encouraging the children and gave it that personal touch. The formations on display are amazing and well worth the visit.
A very good toilet! And a goat or two. The caves are worth a look and if you wish, take BBQ stuff with you for a quiet lunch on the free BBQ's. Even if you don't go into the caves, you can use the toilet......bonus.
We had a lovely tour guide Trish, extremely knowledgeable with all of our questions, considerate and mostly fun. The tour was eye catching, from the glow worms to the stalactites (taking millions or years to form) everywhere you looked was beautiful, if your lucky you may even spot a crayfish or platypus in the water below. They may be some steep steps but if my 78 year old auntie can do it, anyone can. Highly recommended to everyone!
The caves at Gunn's Plains are well worth a visit. You have to climb down some steep steps at .he start but it is worth it . The cost was reasonable and Geoff, who took us through the caves was very interesting and knowledgeable. Well worth the drive .
Interesting and informative - Geoff was a - great guide and very entertaining, off the beaten track - nice and quiet. Excellent cave formations - worth the trip.
Great drive from Burnie, tours roughly on the hour. Only a short wait then we were straight down the cave, literally. Geoff was a really good guide, good script and ad lib. Very interesting.Cheap attraction at only $15 adult, or $40 family. Tip, afternoon tour is a better chance to see the platypus nesting deep in the caves
I have been to the other caves in the region and they were good. But this cave system has everything they had plus more, all in one system.The tour was really fun and informative, the cave path varied with flats, steps, ladders and squeezes.The only thing is to take your time with the steps (I have bad knees and got down ok) and the railing can be slippery with moisture. So listen to the guides advise and do it slowly.The amount of work they have done in construct the path is incredible.I have visited 9 caves in Oz, NZ and Europe (this is my 10th) and I can honestly say I was really impressed with it and recommend it strongly.Also, this area is beautiful and if you combine it with the trip to the amazing Leven Canyon and Wings Wildlife park you have a really full fun filled day.There is also a nice picnic area with undercover and views.
This is such a beautiful attraction that is just a short drive from Ulverstone. The tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable and kept everyone’s interests. Both adults and children can enjoy this experience. I highly recommend visiting the Gunns Plains Caves for a great experience that is just a little bit out of the way. Although you can just turn up, it’s a good idea to ring first to make sure they know you’re coming to ensure your spot on a tour.
