Smoo cave tour was so much fun! Definitely worth the money, all goes to an important cause. Calum was a great tour guide and knew everything there is to know about the cave. A great stop on the NC500Full review by nicole t

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.

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.

There is no charge for parking or entering the caves, If, however you wish to take a trip on a rib on the lake then you have to pay.
