Begeleide Doolin-grottour: ervaar de grootste stalactiet van Europa

Wonderful gem of a spot in the middle of nowhere. Price was reasonable and the tour leader hugely knowledgable and interesting. This is certainly worth checking out if in the area. They limitthe size of the groups so it doesn't get crowded and the general experience was wonderful. If you plan to go and have kids check first as they have a minimum age for child entry and there are 100 + steps involved which are great for decending but not so good on the return if you have any medical challenges but certainly well worth a visit.

Absolutely do not miss out on this !! Very worth the drive and the scenery along the way is spectacular

Great tour that allowes us to explore to areas of the cave. The guide was extremely knowledgeable. Getting down into the cave was 115 steps of traditional metal stairs. During the tour we descended down several other sets of steps of uneven rock and the path was uneven and slippery.. This isn't a difficult tour but if you have any breathing or mobility issues you should probably pass. Highly recommend.

What an amazing experience does see something literally from the age of the dinosaurs. My family and I loved this activity. It does require going down approximately eight flights upstairs and then back up.So perhaps not great for someone with physical limitations.

The cave was a short ride from our BnB. We were six adults and timed tickets were about total of 103 euros. The cave and its massive 30+ foot dangling stalactite were discovered in 1952 by cavers who were not intimidated by the muck, the squeeze and totally utter complete darkness. One of those explorers described that as "knee wrecking miserable crawl" for 1/3 mile. But for you and me----we walk down a series of stairs with hardhats keeping our brains from being battered, Lots of info from the guide. Including the careful exploration to open for tourism by using NO explosives in fear of damaging that imposing stalactite. Getting to that was hand-dug and the cave opened to the public in 2010. One of the owner's daughters, Caireann, makes pottery from collected clay deep in the cave. It is a knee shaking 125 steps down (and another 125 going back up) on wet steel steps, but there are railings and landings. I smacked my hardhat several times on the lower ceiling parts. Outside the cave, there are goats waiting your attention. This is an "alive or living cave" with water still dripping.

We had a fantastic visit to Doolin Cave and would highly recommend it to anyone exploring the area. Our guide was excellent — engaging, knowledgeable, and explained everything clearly so everyone in the group could follow along and enjoy the experience. Access to the cave involves about 125 steps down (and the same back up again), but it’s not difficult and absolutely worth the effort. When you reach the main chamber and see the incredible stalactite, it’s simply awesome — a real wow moment you won’t forget. The whole attraction is very well run and organised, which makes the visit smooth and enjoyable from start to finish. There’s also a lovely café and a nice gift shop on site, perfect for a relaxed stop before or after the tour. A brilliant experience overall — definitely worth a visit!

Didn’t realise there was a Doolin Cave until we visited the lovely little village. Only been to the Alwee Caves. The price was €19 each and whilst this may seem a bit steep initially it was so well worth it. There were only 5 of us which made it even better. We descended the 125 steps down into the cave. Sandra our Guide was amazing and so knowledgeable. My favourite part is when Sandra turned off all the lights so we could appreciate the darkness and what the original men who discovered the cave experienced. The absolute wow factor was when she turned the lights back on and we were all stood facing the most incredible stalactite! It was stunning and a real gasp moment as I wasn’t expecting to see it so suddenly! It is the largest stalactite in Europe and the 3rd in the world so it was very special to have had the opportunity of seeing it. We enjoyed a full 50 min tour and were able to take photos and ask as many questions as we could think of! There is a lovely tea/coffee shop and of course a fab gift shop with items made from the clay from the surrounding area. The miniature pigmy goats were super cute too. We were so delighted we decided to do this activity. Would highly recommend it! Thank you Sandra!

Beautiful experience to discover accompanied! Thanks to the helmets that helped me and the tour guide for his story and his beautiful anecdotes.

You're going to like this more than you ever thought you would. I'm the first to admit that I'm a little nerdy, but this was truly so cool. The story behind it's discovery was fascinating and then to be down there, climbing and ducking as you approach the massive opening was just really cool.

My wife and I visited the cave last week. The only way I can describe this is "Unbelievable" Oisin, our guide was extremely informative and answered all our questions throughout the tour. Without saying too much, how the cave was discovered in 1952 blows the mind. Seeing the Stalactite is awesome. Be prepared to crouch down along narrow and low tunnels to get to the chamber housing the Stalactite. Amazing trip. Not expensive and well worth travelling a bit out of the way to see.
