About

The landscape encompassing the Marble Arch Caves was formed over 340 million years ago. Today this natural environment of caves, rivers, mountains, ancient woodlands, waterfalls and gorges offer an opportunity for visitors to enjoy the incredible range of activities and experiences the Marble Arch Caves have to offer. 

Our Guided Cave Tour - Under the vibrant green hills of Fermanagh lies a labyrinth of caves, sinkholes and subterranean rivers. Amongst them is the Marble Arch Caves which is the most active river cave in Ireland and the UK.
On a guided cave tour our carefully constructed paths enable you to comfortably traverse the Marble Arch Caves whilst discrete lighting displays the cave features and delicate cave formations to their optimum. Our enthusiastic guides will lead you through awe-inspiring passages and further enhance your experience by interpreting the stories of this wonderous show cave.

Our Cave Explorer Virtual Reality Experience -  Why not try this first of its kind VR Experience. The VR offers a 360 degree panoramic experience in our designed VR room. Through cutting edge virtual reality technology, 8K footage, surround sound and graphics the user is placed in the real-world cave system which invites a “deep time” understanding of the cave that spans over 340 million years.

Equipped with just a Virtual Reality headset and simple head movements, visitors will be instantly whisked away into this subterranean world to discover its beauty and fragility, explore its landscape and surround yourself in its serene ambience. The  experience offers a 5-minute virtual trip underground through the cave system. Begin your journey on Gortmacconnell viewpoint and delve underground and explore our cave system.
