Tour information |
|
Smoo Cave is fully accessible 365 days a year public access with a walkway into the waterfall chamber, free of charge. Should you wish to venture further inside and learn about the natural and human history of the cave, then you can join us for a tour.
If you find yourself travelling through Durness, the most north westerly village on the Scottish mainland, stop at Smoo Cave car park (right beside the North Coast 500). It will take you 10 minutes to walk to the waterfall / lake chamber, if not then you miss out on some serious Scottish geology. I begin tours on the first of April seven days a week until the end of October although even a relatively small amount of rain can cause the cave to flood quickly so on these days there will be no tours. I am a member of the Scottish cave rescue team so a rescue would be far too embarrassing!
Because of this, I am not able to take any advanced bookings.
The tour costs £10 for adults, £5 for children and takes about twenty minutes.
To get up to date info on whether the tours are running call 01971 511492 , which is updated each morning at 9.30 am
Please note: despite other sites on the web stating otherwise, this is not a 'boat trip'. It is a geological cave tour (part of which is by boat) and because of that it can prove physically difficult for some people. Suitable footwear for walking over rocky and uneven ground is strongly advised.
