A 3 km stroll along the Yarrangobilly River. The walk takes between 45 and 75 minutes, but links back up with the thermal pool – what's better than going for a dip after a bushwalk?
This tour takes about 1.5 hours and both starts and ends at the North Glory Cave entrance. At times, this cave is described as being the underworld of Kosciuszko National Park including places like Smugglers Passage, or Helictite Chamber which has some jaw dropping crystal formations, and Devils Kitchen, with its trove of stunning calcite crystals.
The South Glory Cave was first explored by Europeans in 1834, and you'll be lost for words when you see the large amount of limestone chambers, decorations and rock piles. Motion-activated sensors turn lights on and off as you advance through the cave on your own, adding to the sense of mystery and awe. Walking through takes around 30-45 minutes, including climbing 200-odd steps.
This cave is one of the most colourful caves in Australia, having formed over a long long period of 1.5 million years.
It's somewhat like Jersey Cave, but there's more in that cave compressed into a smaller space. It was Australia's first wheelchair accessible cave, but many of its railings are designed for wheelchairs of the 1980s, not a wheelchair made in 2026.
Two concrete pools naturally heated to a constant 27°C all year round, more "municipal pool" than "hot springs", but fun just the same. The hot water runs off to a nearby creek where you can also go for a swim, with thermoclines ranging from teeth-chatteringly freezing to nice and warm. It's a 700-m steep walk downhill from the nearest car park; alternatively, there is a 1.1-km riverside trail from South Glory cave.
