Explore Doolin Cave
Take a fully guided tour to one of Irelands best kept secrets in Doolin Cave. Located in the Burren, County Clare Doolin Cave is Ireland's only cave that is directly on the route of Irelands Wild Atlantic Way and it is a must see visitor attraction along this touring route.
Doolin Cave Tour
Take a 45 minute fully guided adventure underground over 80 metres deep (120 steps descent & 120 steps ascent) to see one of the worlds greatest wonders of nature, the great stalactite. From the moment you join your tour guide you will feel like an explorer, donning a hard-hard and following the rough hewn route of JM Dickenson and Brian Varley who discovered the cave in 1952. It is a rare opportunity to see and learn about how our world looked from 350million years ago to the present day. You will also learn about how the Burren region was formed. Have a look at Doolin Cave tripadvisor page to see what our visitors have to say.

There are rare and indigenous Flora and Animals on the Trail and you can see the original cave entrance set in a magical glade.
