Hastings Caves

Highlights

Step into a magical underground world at Hastings Caves in Tasmania! These amazing caves are full of sparkling rock formations, and you can explore them on a guided tour. The Newdegate Cave is the largest tourist cave in Australia, and it’s been forming for over 40 million years! It’s like stepping into a real-life treasure hunt, where you can see stunning stalactites and stalagmites that sparkle under the lights.

After your cave adventure, take a dip in the warm swimming pool fed by thermal springs. The water stays warm all year round, so you can enjoy a relaxing swim no matter when you visit. You can also enjoy a picnic with your family and keep an eye out for cool animals like platypuses and birds!
