Very much enjoyed out tour and bush walk afterwards. Really interesting. So sad to hear of the bush fire destruction only months later.

Great way to kill some time. I have gone twice, and both times the guides were great. Learned a bit about the basics of cave formation.

It was very interesting to learn about the history of the caves and various formations within them. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly, and I would happily recommend this site to people visiting Kangaroo Island.

The caves are not huge and the tour fairly quick. The guide lacked engagement skills and patience when taking the money and fell flat by not engaging people

Did the adventure tour of caves which takes you deeper that the regular ones. Came out after 2 hours exhausted, tired and dirty but well worth the effort -- amazing formations by nature over long long period and an insight into the world of paleontologists as they dig for fossils

We took the Kelly Hill Caves tour as part of our KI Park Pass and Don did a great job. The history was interesting and he really engaged with the kids explaining how the Caves were formed. There are also walking trails and covered picnic areas near the cave entrance. If the ticket office is closed ahead of a tour, the guides are just finishing a previous tour and will be back in time to meet you, so don’t worry and just enjoy the seats while you wait.

The caves and their history was really interesting. We went on the guided tour with our 2 young children and found the guide to be very knowledgeable and friendly. It’s also a lovely area for a walk and picnic before or after the tour.

We were shown around by Stephen (not sure that it is spelt right). He was great with a lot of knowledge of the caves and of the history of the cave and surrounding areas. there are a lot of steps to enter the cave, but it was well worth the effort for the many interesting sights of stalagmites. The climb back out of the cave is also an effort but we were never rushed and then followed one of the trails that meander back down to the visitor centre.
