Jenolan Caves
Jenolan Caves is one of the oldest and most extensive limestone cave systems open to the public in the world, with several distinct show caves offering guided tours of different lengths and difficulty levels. Given the distance from Sydney (further than the main Blue Mountains towns), it's a genuinely committed day trip, best combined with stops in the Blue Mountains along the way.
Different caves suit different interests and fitness levels — some are relatively easy walkthroughs, others involve more stairs and tighter passages — so it's worth checking which specific cave tour matches what you want before booking.
