Covid-19 Response

Dear Visitors,

We are delighted to welcome you to Doolin Cave once again once restrictions have been lifted, and although things will continue to operate a little differently, we are determined to make your visit to Doolin Cave a memorable experience as always. In response to Covid-19, we have implemented the following terms and additional measures in line with the HSE recommendations:

• Cave tour bookings are fully refundable if the date of your tour falls within a level of restrictions where our tours cannot go ahead due to government guidelines. Usual booking terms apply when the cave is open and tours go ahead.
• Tours are running at a reduced capacity to 13-15 people per tour (previously 24).
•  Visible markings, Covid-19 information, and signage will guide you safely around the visitor centre and our team will observe social distancing.
•  All tour participants are required to wear personal protective equipment – PPE (masks and gloves). We encourage you to bring your own PPE where possible or we can provide PPE at cost price.
• Contactless payment options are encouraged. Where this is not possible, payment terminals will be disinfected before and after each transaction. You can also book your tour on our website.
• We have provided alcohol-based hand sanitiser at the entrance of the visitor centre.
• All common touchpoints including door handles, chairs, and tables are cleaned, sprayed and disinfected multiple times each day.
• All tour safety hats are disinfected after each use. 
• Our team have been trained to implement and manage the new safety measures. 
• As members, Doolin Cave is committed to supporting the local tourism network safety charters which include Doolin Tourism and the Burren Ecotourism Network. 
• We ask that all visitors sanitize their hands at the entrance to Doolin Cave, wear PPE, and to practice proper respiratory hygiene to ensure everyone’s safety.
