Hastings Caves and Thermal Springs, a popular swimming club in Hastings, is excited to promote a local swimming event at the Mole Creek Karst cave tours in Tasmania's national parks. This unique activity offers visitors the chance to explore the stunning underground world of the caves through guided tours.
If you're fascinated by sparkling crystals, reflective pools, stalactites, and stalagmites, then the Underground Rivers and Glow Worms Tour of Marakoopa Cave is perfect for you. This tour allows you to marvel at the natural beauty of the lower chamber and even listen to the soothing sounds of underground creeks. And if you're up for a challenge, the Great Cathedral and Glow Worms Tour of Marakoopa Cave awaits. With medium fitness required to ascend the stairway, you'll be rewarded with breathtaking formations and vibrant colours in the Cathedral chamber.
For visitors of all ages and fitness levels, the King Solomons Cave Tour is a must-see. Adorned with sparkling calcite and featuring stunning colours and formations, this tour promises a memorable experience. Just remember, tripods, food, and beverages are not allowed in the caves, but feel free to capture the magic with your camera (except in the glow-worm chamber at Marakoopa Cave).
To ensure a spot on these incredible cave tours, it is strongly recommended to make bookings in advance. You can easily secure your tickets by calling (03) 6363 5182 between 9am and 3pm, 14 days prior to your desired tour. The tours are located at 330 Mayberry Road, Mayberry, which is conveniently close to the entrance of Marakoopa Cave.
The Mole Creek Karst National Park, where these cave tours take place, does not require a Parks Pass for visitors. However, it's important to allocate enough time for travel, as the park is located a 40-minute drive west of Deloraine. Simply take the B12 route from Deloraine through Mole Creek, and you'll find yourself immersed in natural wonders. Remember to be mindful of wildlife and avoid driving through the reserves at night.
To ensure your comfort during the cave tours, it's recommended to dress appropriately for the cool 9-degree Celsius temperature. Comfortable walking shoes are also a must, especially when navigating the stairs. If you're planning a visit with a large group, be sure to make advance bookings to guarantee availability.
While exploring the caves, you might also want to check out the souvenirs available at Marakoopa Cave. Additionally, nearby towns offer petrol, accommodation, and other supplies to make your visit even more enjoyable. Just remember that fires are prohibited in the area, and it's always best to be prepared.
