The first part of the tour is guided, followed by a self-guided discovery of the rest of the cave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Visitors should note that a reasonable level of mobility is required due to uneven stairs and low ceilings in certain areas. Young children will need to walk or be carried, as prams are not permitted in the cave. While there is a wheelchair-friendly ramp at the entrance with a viewing scope to peer inside, the cave itself is not accessible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ngilgi Cave is open daily from 9 am to 5 pm, with the last entry at 4 pm (closed Christmas Day). While advance online bookings are optional, they are recommended on weekends and peak periods such as school holidays to secure your preferred time slot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For those interested in a deeper cultural experience, Koomal Dreaming offers cultural tours at Ngilgi Cave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Photo: Tourism Western Australia<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":985,"template":"","categories":[122],"activity-type":[116,125,114,123],"time-of-year":[121,119,118,120],"class_list":["post-984","events","type-events","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tours-cruises","activity-type-accessible-facilities","activity-type-cultural-experiences","activity-type-kid-friendly","activity-type-nature-experiences","time-of-year-autumn","time-of-year-spring","time-of-year-summer","time-of-year-winter"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
