Cutta Cutta Caves
Limestone karst caves beneath the tropical savanna, accessible only on a ranger-guided tour, where you can see stalactites and rare bats.
Located about 27 km southeast of Katherine, beside the Stuart Highway, these are among the few limestone caves in tropical Australia open to visitors. Inside are stalactites, stalagmites and columns, and rare orange horseshoe bats and ghost bats make their home here. Entry is only by a guided tour of about one hour led by a ranger. Several tours run each day in the dry season, and tickets must be purchased in advance. The cave is warm and humid, so wear non-slip shoes. In the wet season the caves may be partly flooded and closed.
Opening hours
Dry season: guided tours about 09:00-15:00
