We arrived at the cave spot it has a toilet area the the shed where the office is offers basic potato chips and ice blocks plus some souvenirs. The guide was Nic a lovely guy told us some history then down to the cave he told in detail the different things to look for which was excellent.Maybe a little long but we were never board.Its an Amazinig compact cave.

after a short drive from Canberra to Yass ... Then a longer trek out to Wee Jasper we finally arrived at Carey's Cave. Wasn't really what i expected, but went in with open mind. The tour guide,Geoff was running late, having got a flat tyre on the way in.When we did finally get going Geoff had a talk with us outside the cave, explaining the landscape features and a bit about caves ... In essence setting the scene. I suspect a few in the party were getting a bit restless, but it was good info setting us for the cave experience.Going into the cave was down a step descent of 30'steps, but nothing terribly onerous, and we entered the first chamber. Geoff's thought was that we should be afforded plenty port unity to appreciate all the features of the cave and he explained the features in terms so they were easily understood by everyone. His Humour was pretty much in the vein of the bushes, and I think some of the people who may have been from o/s didn't quite understand some of it ... But I found it to be a good, charming addition to the conversations.This is a great little gem hidden away behind Yass, but one I think should be sought out wanting to experience something authentic and not hyped for the tourist market.

We were staying in Wee Jasper for the weekend, from Sydney. Had heard of the caves and were blown away by the caves themselves and the great guy who runs the tours. We had been to Jenolan caves and caves overseas and in comparison we got great value for money for a magnificent cave experience (it was the first one for our 8yr old son). The caves were beautiful and the guide was a lovely gentleman with a colourful sense of humour who managed to involve each of us in the very informative and educational tour! It felt like time stood still as we were transported into the history of the caves and the various visitors it has hosted since being discovered. By the end of the tour we felt that we had travelled in time and our son had a personal interaction with history and geology that cannot be matched by modern day technology! Thank you Geoff and God bless and give you good health to continue your input into making this world a better and wiser place! Anna and Family

We drove out to wee jasper on Monday afternoon and what a wonderful afternoon it turned out to be. We were given a tour by a fantastic guide (Geoff) who was really engaging & informative, with a fantastic knowledge of both the cave and area. The tour was fabulous as we took our time exploring the different areas of the cave. The guide was clearly very passionate about getting everyone involved and tailored the tour to our interests. I would recommend this tour to everyone, with very few steps it is a really accessible tour which offers a fabulous experience to visitors young and old! Thank you for a fabulous day!!!

Carey's caves is a short drive from canberra and well worth the trip.My small family of 3 had a great time listening to Geoff and exploring the caves .Geoff's knowledge of the caves and surrounding area is excellent, and his tour is very interactive and informative.The caves themselves are brilliant, the access is easy and the tempreture perfect on a hot 32 degrees day.I been to a few caves tours and by far this is the best so far.

We all had a ball, even the grumpy teen. I recommend to all, but go with a sense of humour. Thank you Geoff for yet again an interesting and informative tour.

We arrived early to find clean easy accessible toilets and a shaded area although primitive was very accommodating. There is not very good mobile coverage but a handy couple off power points to recharge those electronic devices. The office caters for basic refreshments and souvenirs. The cave is fantastic and the guide very knowledgable. This experience was very memorable. This is one one of those experiences that you will remember for a long time. Thouroghly enjoyed this adventure.

We have been to there through yass valley from canberra. And returned to canberra through mount creek drive. The return journey was 1 hour less so if anyone want to go there please take the alternate route. There is about 5-6 km of unpaved road but can be driven by 2WD vehicle. Last 30km drive is very very steep and sharp turns over the mountain. SO very very careful while driving and be cautious about opposite vehicle. This place is really really very nice to enjoy the nature and have picnic with family. The cave is a attractive place for those who loves rock formats. If you enjoy driving through mountain and love to visit caves I strongly recommend you to visit this place. Be sure you bring your own food as there is no restaurants on the way.

We visisted last week with our two young children and we loved it! About an hours' drive from Yass, it is definitely worth the drive. We were stoked at the depth of knowledge of the guide and the value of the ticket. I did not expect that we would be in the cave for a full 40 minutes.Tip - bring a light cardy - it's about 12 - 15 degrees in there!! AND A CAMERA :)

These caves have excellent examples of every cave formation you can possibly find in any other cave in Australia and very well worth a look. It is a bit of a trek to Wee Jasper but if you take a packed lunch and snacks you can find a pleasant spot to enjoy them near the tiny outpost of Wee Jasper, before continuing onto the cave site. The cave site is more remote and in open countryside and in summer quite hot. There is more shade back in Wee Jasper. The tour guide Geoff was very knowledgable. HOWEVER, he took forever to impart this knowledge and really could have done so in half the time. I felt very sorry for the people with young children, who were becoming very restless after the first HOUR! The tour was one hour late in starting and lasted two hours. Way too long. Geoff was very pleasant, but if he cut out a lot of the silly humour about some of the cave formations looking like wrinkly grandparents, and getting rid of annoying teenagers down holes ad nauseam, we would have been finished in a more sensible time. Most people go to caves for the Geological & Speleological aspects, not for witless long winded humour.
