Welcome to René’s World
René Boissevain is a man with a passion.
He has spent a lifetime travelling to every corner of the world to collect natural crystals and prehistoric fossils.
René built a man-made cave to share his extensive collection and his love of crystals with you.
A true testament to one man’s imagination and passion.
Touch, Engage, Experience
Just over an hour from Cairns on the Atherton Tablelands, take a journey through René’s man-made caves to discover natural crystals and prehistoric fossils.
The first cave was built in 1987, the caves were expanded in 1992 with tunnels, chambers, grottos and crawlspaces.
Covering an area of 300 sq meters, the interactive displays allow you to touch and photograph over 600 crystals and fossils.
THE CRYSTAL CAVES WILL ROCK YOUR WORLD!
