Getting to Jenolan - Arrive Early for Escort Vehicle
On Edith Road, 3 kms before Jenolan, at the top of the steep valley descent, STOP AT THE BARRIER. The descent is now one-way, so Transport for NSW will escort your vehicle 3km down to our carpark. Then, you can catch our free shuttle bus, right down to caves and hotel. Escort vehicles run every 20-minutes and shuttle bus runs more frequently. To be on time for your tour, please arrive at the barrier (3km from the caves) *** AT LEAST 1 HOUR BEFORE YOUR FIRST BOOKED ACTIVITY.*** Escort vehicles leave our car park every 20 minutes, to accompany vehicles back up the hill. The gate is locked at 6pm every evening, so all day-visitors must be out of the Jenolan Valley by 6:00pm.
