About Cutta Cutta Caves Nature Park
Cutta Cutta Caves Nature Park is a protected nature park located about 27 kilometres south of Katherine in the Northern Territory, Australia. It preserves an extensive tropical limestone karst system with two show caves accessible by guided tour. Notable for its stalactite and stalagmite formations, large chambers and resident bats, the park offers an accessible introduction to Top End cave landscapes within a small, managed reserve off the Stuart Highway.
Visitors guide
Visitors can expect a small tropical nature park centred on a limestone cave system accessed only by guided tour. The tour explores well-lit chambers with stalactites, stalagmites, columns and flowstone, with interpretation of geology and cave formation. Above ground the park has open woodland, karst outcrops, a visitor area with picnic facilities and opportunities to see bats and woodland birds. Access to the caves is via stairs and uneven paths with a guide.
