Due to the restrictions of COVID-19 the Wellington Caves is unable to undertake its usual volume of tours. To avoid any customer disappointment it will not be included in the Great Big Adventure Pass, until such time as it is able to operate to the degree that is reflective of its true visitor experience and customers can feel assured of tour availability.
The Pass price has been reduced to reflect the removal of the Wellington Caves entry and still provides the amazing 20% discount across 3 exciting attractions, ensuring that planning your next holiday to the Dubbo Region is easy and packed full of fun, adventure and discovery. The Wellington Caves will return to limited operations from 1st November and as an interim measure Great Big Adventure Pass purchasers will receive a 20% discount code along with their Pass tickets that can be used when buying Caves tour tickets between 1st and 31st November 2021.
Once the COVID-19 restrictions have been lifted to a degree that the Wellington Caves can operate more regular caves tour groups, they will be readmitted to the Pass and will gladly welcome Pass holders to the amazing caves systems of Wellington.
