Yanchep Koala Boardwalk

Highlight (Segment) • Natural

The Yanchep Koala Boardwalk is a close-up experience with Australia's beloved koalas. The boardwalk is short and flat and is a safe way to navigate koala habitat, leaving the animals in their natural environment without disturbing them. There is informational signage to read up on along the boardwalk as well.

Caves Walk Trail is a moderate Class 3 circuit that follows a mix of purpose-built walking paths with sections of sandy gravel track as it passes all three of Yanchep National Park’s unique limestone caves. Along the way, you can visit Yonderup Cave, Crystal Cave, and Cabaret Cave, each with its own distinctive characteristics. Exploring the caves is by guided tour only, operating daily, with tickets available from the McNess Visitor Centre or by booking online in advance.

Yonderup Cave is a semi-wild stream cave where a guided tour takes you through chambers filled with stalactites, stalagmites, helictites, columns, and delicate shawl formations.

September 28, 2025,🇦🇺 Yanshep Nationalpark 🦘🦘🦘

We stretched our legs in Yanchep National Park today, as we've been driving a lot these past few days.
We visited this park at the beginning of our trip two weeks ago and hiked the Wet Lands Trail.

Today we hiked the Cave Trail, but ended up taking some other paths back ;)
