Royal Cave - Buchan Caves

What an experience. Thoroughly enjoyed the tour. The tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable and the pace the tour went at was perfect. Was a great way to break up the outdoor activities.

We visited Royal caves today and had a great experience despite part of the caves being closed. The guide was very knowledgeable and answered lots of questions from our kids

Previously seen Fairy Cave, this one shorter & less 'wow'factor but still well-worth a visit. Walk to entrance approx 700m uphill (NOT the 250m advertised), challenging on a hot day which it was on my visit. Lots of steps & narrow bends with low ceilings, tricky for my 1.8m height. Should be pretty fit to negociate, others in group struggled somewhat. Lovely 17c all year round inside, no jacket needed. Essential to buy ticket before visit. Great photo opportunity

My fiancé and I recently visited the Royal Caves after exploring the Fairy Cave, and we really enjoyed our experience. Our tour guide was friendly and accommodating, allowing us plenty of time to take photos along the way. The Royal Caves are definitely the easier option compared to the Fairy Cave, making it a great choice for those looking for a more relaxed visit. Although we could only explore half of the cave due to maintenance at the entrance, it was still fascinating. Both caves offer unique attractions and experiences, so I highly recommend visiting both if you have the chance. Overall, it was a lovely outing at the Royal Caves!

Beautiful cave, knowledgable tour guide. The adults loved it. The kids perhaps not as much, but still amazed. Be prepared to arrive half an hour earlier to collect ticket and walk up the hill to the entrance.

Totally worth the money spent. The guided tours are highly recommended. Our guide, Pete (if I heard the name correctly), made the tour interesting and engaging. It would be great, though, if there were some signs to help find the entrance to the Royal Cave.

Absolute marvel of nature… Fascinating to know that these areas were undersea circa 400 million years ago. The guide was top notch in knowledge. Due to water damage, the usual entrance was closed. So we entered from exit and went all the way to front and returned back. Slightly longer than usual tour with around ~300 steps. Inside temperature is a steady 17C but due to humidity, you’re better off without jumper, etc.

What a wonderful experience for myself and my family. The tour guide was informative and held our attention the whole way through. The Cave are million year old fascinating to see. I highly recommended visiting this cave as it really is a wonder to behold. The photos just can't show the true beauty of the place as the light inside are very low.Everything sparkles too, which every one like and loved.
