Smoo Cave Tours update 06/07/2020
As things stand at the moment Smoo Cave Tours will not be running the inner cave tour this summer. It's with deep regret that after running the tours every summer for over 30 years now that we will be unable to safely operate this summer. Our number 1 commitment has always been YOUR safety. It is impossible to run our intimate tour safely at the moment so although financially crippling, this has to be the decision.
Thanks to everyone for their generous donations on our Just Giving page. We are almost half way to our target and hopefully we'll make our target by the end of the summer. I will be in the cave daily from 10am till late to answer any questions you have about the cave. The cave is open, you'll be able to walk through and see the waterfall cascading into the second chamber, see the deadly Scottish piranhas feeding and I'll be doing walking tours in the main chamber. I look forward to seeing you all, the cave's going nowhere so hopefully we'll be taking you on the inner cave tour again in the not to distant future. I'll mostly be at the small shed at the bottom of the stairs so come up and say hello, stay safe, remember to social distance and enjoy your summer holiday.

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 northwesterly 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 September 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 £6 for adults, £3 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.
