The park is easily accessible from the Stuart Highway, about 27 km (17 mi) south of Katherine, and features two show caves where guided tours are offered to the public, making it a popular tourist attraction.

Evidence of occupation by the Jawoyn people can be found throughout the park with a number of campsites and stone artifacts identified.

[citation needed] Following European settlement, the main cave was discovered by a stockman around 1900, and has been known by several names.

The caves are subject to flooding during the tropical wet season and may be closed for periods of time.

As well as limestone stalactite and stalagmite formations, a number of rare species can be observed in and around the caves including the carnivorous ghost bat and the brown tree snake.
