Plan ahead as there’s no cell phone reception in this area of the Catlins
Before you arrive, be sure to plan ahead and check the tide times and take note of how to get there as cell phone reception in the area is limited. There is EFTPOS and usually only a three-hour window in which the caves are safe to visit due to tidal activity. Adults are $10 and children are $2. It is a dog free environment to help protect wildlife. To better prepare for your visit, check out our Frequently Asked Questions before visiting Cathedral Caves.
