Cool cave tour in Doolin Ireland - Very knowledgeable crew guided into a tremendous cave system with an amazing stalactite. Very well worth the time, money and effort to climb all those stairs.

Doolin caves - Excellent tour of the caves and the tour guide was very informative was a 50 minute tour and worth the entrance fee to learn the history of the caves. Not suitable for anyone with mobility issues as 125 steps down then back up again but otherwise very manageable

Incredible! - A truly awe-inspiring experience. It's so hard to believe that this is real. Sandra was a great guide. Really funny and knowledgeable about the history of this cave, its founding, and the theories behind when, where, and how it came about. Highly recommend!!

The stalactite should be looked at - Tours of the cave are only possible with a guided tour, but it is worth it. You get an insight into the time of discovery and see the real highlight, the giant stalactite. The staff is very friendly and the food we enjoyed in the adjacent restaurant was very good.

Brilliant - don't miss it! - This is a fascinating place and the whole experience was very positive. Friendly staff made booking easy, Our brilliant tour guide, Kim, really brought everything to life for us, explaining how the caves were formed millions of years ago and how intrepid pot-holers first discovered them. The tour was very interesting and a 'must do' when in the area. There are a lot of steps to climb, to enter and exit the caves, but you can go at your own pace. Highly recommended!

Does what it says - It’s a bit of a one-hit wonder but still definitely worth the trip. The ceilings are low in places so the hard hat gets a workout, as do your legs on the way back up the stairs, but you won’t see its like anywhere else.
