Another great attraction provided by Ireland's Office of Public Works (OPW). We turned up after a tour had left, but as we had called ahead they let us join it. The path down into the cave is quite a number of steps, and would be tiring if you're not fit. The tour guide (John) was very, very knowledgeable and entertaining.... More

If you're trying to do something different with the family and you're in the area, you won't be disappointed. Great tour and we were quite surprised by how good it was. Definitely need walking shoes as there are loads of steps down & you have to do it all again on the way up - lots of people stopping for... More

Very interesting cave and the tour guide was incredibly knowledgable and made it an even better experience. Multimedia in beginning also helped to set the scene. Need to be a bit fit as a lot of stairs but definitely worth it. More

At the beginning of the tour you watch a short audio visual presentaton which is fantastic. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable & engaged our interest straight away. There are a lot of interesting points of interest in the cave (fairy ring, calcite formations, bat bones, happily flapping bats) & it has a very interesting history (how the cave was... More

Ample parking to begin and a nice interpretive centre. The cave itself as well as being impressive has a very interesting history, being the site of a Viking massacre in the 10th century. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and recommended other attractions in the area. More

I must say that the tour we got was absolutely fantastic, full of information and very well presented by our guide. There were many memorable features of the cave, the fairy fort, casper, great hall and the big big... More

Inside you pay only €3 for adult entrance and then have some time to look around before your tour. A small canteen/coffee shop is on-site although we... More

We visited Dunmore caves on 27th August 2011. We met 2 very helpful and considerate young men working at the caves, however, we had an unpleasant experience from an older man working at the desk as we were leaving. Up to then we had a fantastic time during our visit and our 2 children aged 2 and 5 were fascinated... More

I visited the Dunmore Caves at the end of July/ beginning of August. When we walked in we were greeted by a nice friendly man, who also gave us our tour unfortunately I can't recall his name, but its lovely to see someone who is representing Ireland well by being the type of welcoming affable person Ireland is famous for....
