Cutta Cutta Caves Nature Park
Formed millions of years ago the Cutta Cutta Caves system is home to a variety of native wildlife and is rich in Indigenous culture and modern European history.

Whilst the park itself was great, we found that if you were at the back of the tour group you were unlikely to really hear the commentary and benefit from the guide's spotlight. So, unfortunately, we were part of the group that found themselves at the back of the group and really don't know much about the caves themselves. When we first arrived (as part of The Ghan tour), it became apparent that there was a brown snake in the vicinity and, although the tour guide was concerned for our safety, his expletives and comment 'let's go see if we can get bitten by a brown snake' didn't really give the group much comfort. It was probably a bit 'tongue in cheek, but probably should have been considered before being spoken out aloud. The caves themselves were great. The bits of the commentary we heard were interesting, but the guide should have either been in the middle of the group or it might have been better to split the group and have 2 tour guides.

Despite the website and the brochure at the counter saying that there is a 2pm tour (and no need to book) I turned up today ( Sun 20 Aug) on time for a 2pm tour only to be told there was no 2pm tour today and the next tour is at 3pm. I didn't bring anything with me to pass the time for an hour and there isn't a cafe so I turned around and drove back into Katherine. No explanation was offered as to why the 2pm tour wasn't running. What a waste of time :(

Definitely recommend the guided tour, especially with Ben - so informative, and perfectly attuned to the interest of all ages. A pocket of wonder in the NT definitely worth making time for.

Informative and wonderful experience. Learned a lot about the area and the geology. Well worth the tour, to see not only the cave formations but learn about the wildlife inhabiting the caves.

Due to a King brown snake being found in the cave that day my booking was cancelled by the cutta cutta caves and they told me to contact tripadvisor to obtain a refund but i have not been able to contact tripadvisor anyway and have not been refunded. I would not recommend booking through tripadvisor for any tours because if it is after the date you cant get in contact with them

Smaller caves but great experience with guide sharing their knowledge. Well worth the visit. Interesting to know that the caves feed the Katherine springs which is also a great place to visit

Was a really interesting tour walking through Cutta Cutta Caves. The guide was very friendly, informative and great sense of humour. The caves are absolutely beautiful and jaw dropping, and the facts about the caves are really interesting.
Some tips - wear inclosed shoes. Not only are you going under the earth but you are in the outback ie. snake country. Common sense really
a few spaces are a squeeze to get through, but manageable.
Is quite dark in places but once your eyes adjust its amazing.
Enjoy

You can only go there with a guided tour and the guide will tell u stories about the cave. Great way to learn how different Cutta Cutta Cave is different from a normal cave.
