Hi There,
I’m not having any luck through the phone.
I have a school group of 27 students and 3 staff who would like a tour at 10am Thursday 19 September 2019.
The school uses a purchase order policy and will need a written quote. Can you please email a per person quote to [email protected]
Regards
Michael
Hi Michael,
We are just an tourism information website with no affiliation to the caves, so we are unable to help you with your booking.
It seems like the official website is completely down, so all i can suggest is to try to keep calling them on (08) 8738 4171, or try sending them a message at their Facebook page located at https://www.facebook.com/Princess-Margaret-Rose-Cave-Campground-Complex-142456785796204/.
Thanks
Michael

Is this place safe / okay to visit with a 3 month old bub?
Hi Kris,
Yes, perfectly safe. The Princess Margaret Rose Cave has stalactites, stalagmites, helictites, rimstone pools, cave coral and many other amazing formations. You can take a 45 minute guided tour with a professional interpretive officer.
Have a wonderful time!
Jess
