Wild Caving

Step Into The Wild – Adventure Caving at Marble Arch

Go beyond the show cave and discover the hidden depths of the Marble Arch Caves on this guided wild caving experience. Led by a qualified Cave Leader, a small group will explore off-route passages, negotiate boulder chambers and clamber through the famous flyover, emerging briefly into the public cave before navigating back through wild sections of the system.

Perfect for visitors who have already enjoyed a guided tour and want to experience what lies beyond, this adventure offers a real sense of the scale, geology and formation of the cave network.

Instructor
The session is led by Sean Corrigan, Certified Cave Leader and member of the Speleological Union of Ireland, who will guide the group safely through wild sections while sharing insights into how the caves were formed.
