Ancient limestone caves, living history
schedule 1 min read / Updated Jun 2026
Tucked into the Berserker Ranges 23 kilometres north of Rockhampton, Capricorn Caves is a privately owned advanced eco-tourism attraction where a network of limestone caves has been forming for around 400 million years. Guided tours wind through cathedral-like chambers alive with microbats, rare spiders, and dramatic formations, making it one of central Queensland's most distinctive natural experiences.
The signature Cathedral Cave Tour runs for 45 minutes and suits all ages, leading visitors through the main cave system before the guide dims the lights and lets the remarkable acoustics of the cavern speak for themselves. The cave is home to endangered microbats and a variety of invertebrates, giving the experience genuine scientific and ecological weight.
For those wanting more, the Capricorn Explorer and Capricorn Adventurer tours push deeper into the cave network, scrambling over rocks and squeezing through narrow passages under expert guidance. The property also offers on-site cabins and caravan sites, a licensed cafe, and native wildlife encounters on the 80-acre property, making it worth staying overnight.
