Aillwee Cave Testimonials

A large group of us visited Santa at Aillwee Cave on Sunday the 19th of December.  And I just wanted to email you to say Thank You So Much.  It was just wonderful.  For some of the group it was their first visit, for us it was the fourth.  It has become more and more enjoyable every year, partly due to the fact that the kids are getting older and more into it but also because ye put so much effort into each and every visit.  Everyone in our group thought it was just fantastic and all agreed they would be back again next year.  Could you please pass on our appreciation to all members of staff.

Thanks again and will be booking to see Santa again soon.

Many Thanks
Michele

We did make it to Aillwee Cave--caught the last tour last Tuesday.  It was wonderful!  With so many things to do in Ireland and very little time, we almost passed up on this opportunity.  We're glad we didn't. We have seen several caves in the U.S., including Mammoth Cave in Kentucky, also an impressive site.  Our tour guide was terrific and we were quite impressed with how hard you have worked to maintain the natural character of the cave.  

Best regards,

Thank you sooo much. All I can say is thanks. We had a fab day honestly - one family had to miss it so there was only 5 adults and 3 kids but is was amazing. We got to Aillwee at about lunch time so grabbed a quick lunch of gorgeous soup and sandwiches. The cafe staff were very nice to the kids. I spoke to a lady at the main desk - she seemed unaware of everything but she had no problem- trusted me completely. We had a lovely tour of the caves; I had not been there in years so it was great. Though poor Aoibheann was tired before we got there and was awake for the whole cave whinging on and off so hope the people on the tour were not too put out! Then down to the birds of prey - that is a real treasure isn’t it. Absolutely amazing. The kids got to hold the birds and the show itself was fab. We spend hours, literally - strolling around between all the attractions and shops.. It is a great place to work I imagine. And the food - the cheese is dangerous on the figure lol!
Thanks again!

We were rushed and almost passed on this cave in the Burren. We're so glad we didn't. Although family-owned, the proprietors have taken great pains to maintain the cave's natural integrity just as you'd expect from dedicated conservationists by limiting the number of people on the tours and using only minimal lighting as you travel through the cave. Time did not permit us to enjoy the birds of prey, but it looks like an impressive collection to view. You can also venture a walk into the Burren right from the parking lot, an experience in and of itself. This is not a "tourist trap" but a real chance to explore a key-hole type cave, walk over bridges and by a waterfall underground.
