Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

First a brisk walk up for a nice view over the sea, rocks and cliffs. Then back to prayers via many stairs to the cave, Smoo Cave. Along the way a beautiful view of the surroundings. A beautiful light shines on the limestone cave Smoo Cave.
You can continue, for a fee, to the other side of the cave and for a small waterfall via a dinghy.

An interesting visit, incredibly busy, Tour is £15 pp we didn’t bother with this and still enjoyed our visit. The kids spent more time paddling in the water than looking at the rock formations.

Very nice, we caught a sunny day and deserves so much!!
Do NOT spend money on the tour, it lasts very little and you only see one room and a waterfall, it does not deserve.

It’s lovely and definitely worth visiting but I expected more! The midges were evil, so take Smidge. The steps down not as bad as some reviews suggested. I expected the cave to be bigger! I didn’t do the tour.

A great tour. Callum and Brandon were fab and both were very entertaining.
All the staff were very knowledgable.
Bring cash as there isn’t any other way to pay due to no reception there.

There is a parking lot from which a staircase leads to the cave. Free admission allows you to see only a small part. The boat tour costs £15 per adult and allows you to explore the interior. Nearby breathtaking views of the ocean and cliffs.

I very much enjoyed the smoo cave tour , to begin it was a beautiful boat ride under looking a water fall , we then continued further down the cave and got talked through some interesting points about the cave by a boy called Brandon . After being taken back we were spoken to by a lovely girl called neve who seemed well educated on the caves history . It was very interesting and full of humour . We definitely will be back , staff couldn’t have been more polite . Just a reminder that it is cash only due to having no service in the cave.

This was a really fun activity that no one should skip while on NC 500. After parking above the cave, we went down the 50 or so steps to the mouth of the cave. The staff in the cave were very welcoming. They provided us with our helmets and led us into the cave where we were met by Cal and Brandon, two amazing, young, local tourguides. These guys are very knowledgeable and very entertaining. We descended the ladder and into the boat so that we could see the waterfall near the mouth of the cave. From there we were brought a small bit further into the cave where we got out and walked in a small bit further again. The cave is small but impressive and the guides make it so entertaining for kids and adults. £15 is a very reasonable price for this experience and we’re so happy that we did it!

This was up there with the things we were most excited about on our NC500 adventure. In all honesty it was great, it really was, but a couple of things let it down for me, hence the 4/5 rating.
East of Durness and pretty much on the NC500 route (follow the A838), the cave was located a mere ten minute walk from the lower car park (toilet block provided) and fifteen minutes from the ‘Motorhome friendly’ one, where we parked up. Our car park was pay and display (cheap though; cash / card accepted) and had a lovely café on its doorstep, one we used and thoroughly enjoyed!
The walk down was steep but the steps were in good condition. A small firth cut in which looked nice with the sun glistening on it - unfortunately there were very limited sandy areas about and the stones were slippery. I did however manage to get a bit of stone skimming on the go with my eldest.
The cave itself - pretty spectacular and not something you often come across in the UK. Fed by the Allt Smoo stream, you could venture to the waterfall chamber which was free of charge. My son and I paid for the tour (£5 children; £15 adults). Thankfully, we were aware it was cash only although, this could have been better advertised further afield (the closest cash machine was one mile away and unless you look online, the cash only sign appears far too late in my opinion).
The tour was thoroughly enjoyable - my eldest (four years old) was well looked after and the staff were all super friendly and knowledgeable. Safety adhered to throughout. Unfortunately, the boat ride was a bit underwhelming - short in length and not as I had expected. Saying that, the staff made up for it and the information given was interesting and eye-opening!
In conclusion, my eldest loved it and for me, it was all about his experience! I’d say to do it but don’t expect the boat ride to be extensive and whatever you do, take cash with you!

Just to be aware due to the signal in the caves the attraction is cash only. There is a spar with a cash machine around a mile away. However parking is quite busy here so we walked to the cash machine and back to ensure we kept our parking space and it took us an hour.
The cave itself was really good fun, frazer and his team are humorous and enthusiastic in their story telling. The tour is around 20 minutes and definitely worth doing. You can see the passion of the team in the work they do and how they are passionate about future projects with the cave.
There are some gorgeous walks and scenery around the cave too. Definitely worth a visit.

We recently took a coach tour holiday which was supposed to include a stop at Smoo Cave with time enough to get out and explore. When we reached the turn off for the cave our driver suddenly said there is no longer parking available for coaches and the local authority have stopped coaches going there or from parking up at the top of the hill and allowing passengers time to walk down to the caves. Does anyone know the truth of this??? Have the local authority really changed policy on Smoo Cave and if they have, how long ago were these changes made thanks

I'm unsure, we travelled by campervan. There is limited parking but there were plenty of motor homes parked up as well as campervans and cars. No signs we saw said no coaches etc. Sorry for not being much help.

The caves are wide open and shallow in depth, should present claustrophobia unless you are severely affected. There is an optional tour by boat of the underground river and lake which should be avoided.
Skrevet 14. juli 2021
I can't find any information about pricing for the Smoo Cave - The website gives absolutely 0 information about anything practical like that. Does any one know the entrances fees and if young children can go in? Thank you.
Skrevet 6. januar 2020
Have a look on my website for all the latest info. Just Google smoocavetours.

Planning to visit in May, can you buy tickets on the spot for the boat tour?
I read that you need to contact the tourgide in the morning to see if the tours are on for that day, is this correct?
Skrevet 12. november 2019
Hi, we didn't book, we didn't even know about the boat until we got down there.
Skrevet 20. november 2019
Is there a viewing platform that can be accessed instead of going down the steps to the cave
Skrevet 1. august 2019
Take your time to walk down the steps and enjoy the scenery below if you are able, the steps are not steep, and as described above, it is free to this helps 😀 enjoy

Can well behaved dog get on boat in smoo cave?
Skrevet 17. juli 2019
I would say no. It's an inflatable boat and there is climbing with a rope involved and slippery rocks. Plus, the ladder to get into the boat would be difficult for a dog as it's a straight ladder. I wouldn't attempt it, but that said, it doesn't hurt to ask them.
Skrevet 17. juli 2019
Yes there is. Not large, so may be full sometimes in the summer, but well worth a visit. Do go right in to the waterfall, but if you do, expect to get wet.
Skrevet 13. juni 2019
Yes you can though they may be a little nervous of the cave has you go deeper into it.
