Great tour - A great, fun and entertaining tour. Our guide spoke loudly, slowly and clearly so we could understand the English hat. Only the entrance fee of €18.50 I find really happy!

Amazing experience - If you are in the Clare area then Doolin Cave is a must. The tour guide was knowledgeable and passionate about cave and its history. There are over 400 steps down which means 400 back up so if steps are not for you then don't attempt them. They are not rushed so you have plenty of time to come back up and rest. The path is low in parts so if you are over 6ft then you will be hunched over for a bit but it adds fun to it and we'll worth it. Overall you won't he disappointed.

Loved Our Cave Tour! - I was excited to explore yet another cave after our experience last year at Marble Arch Caves. I wish that I could remember the name of the guide (forgive me), but he did an amazing job! The history from its discovery to where it is now, and giving the public the opportunity to view such a special place was just fascinating. Our group thoroughly enjoyed this space 70 feet under the earth.

Great Guide 👍 and it feels unlike other tourists destinations - Dolin Cave was awesome! It’s way more natural than most caves I’ve been to — they really left it how it was, which made it feel like a real adventure. The guide was super friendly and knew a lot. And the huge stalactite (the 3rd biggest in the world!) was insane to see in person. Definitely recommend if you like nature and cool stuff underground.

Value for Money - What a wonderful trip and incredible narrative about how the cave was discovered. Worth the money you payed for. There are 125 steps down the cave and up to the entrance. It's definitely worth a visit!

Yesterday, today, and tomorrow - The history, the cavern, and the little fish in the cave stream. Guide was patient to let us get a view of the cave creature. Tour guide was very informative, friendly, and cautioned us of the low ceiling and why it wasn’t heighten.

A great experience - A great experience , a lot of climbing down and upstairs but well worth to stand in the presence of the stalactite in the main cave the guides are friendly and full of knowledge and when they turn off the lights in the main chamber that’s a totally different experience to see how dark it is and the cafe gives you the opportunity to grab a coffee to recover from climbing the stairs to come back out well worth the visit wear solid shoes boots and expect to duck a little going through the passageway would definitely do it again

Very magical! - Scarier than i expected—-but in an exciting way! Down, down, down…not a big empty expanse like other caves I’ve been to. thanks sooo much for the little rest stools at each stairway landing. That made it possible for me (77years old) and my husband (85 years old).

Not worth it - Poor organization, we were the last of a much too large group and could not understand the guide. We had to make sure we followed the group and no consideration was given. Had to pay the full price as a severely disabled person. We then left early and went back to the exit without this being noticed by the guide. Lots of money for nothing.
