Amazing place! You can walk deep down and see brilliant shapes which water has been creating for million years. The cave is huge (really deep) and nicely cold in summer (18). It is still being discovered - You can see from your path the places where specialized people going down. Guide tells about cave also in english and Staff is very helpfull - they let us charge our phones at ticket office (we were backpackers) :D We were there at the and of August and there weren't lot of people so we can hear the guide precisely. The ticket costs 8 and with that ticket You can visit archeologic museum in Dorgali for free... :)

Great cave to discover. The visits are at hour mainly because they close the lights every hour for 20 minutes to protect its ornaments, the stalagmites and stalagmites. The visit is both in Italian and English. It has the tallest column (when the stalagmites join the stalagmites) of Europe, 37 meters (36 of it is formed of stalagmites). The cave and all it’s galleries are still to be explored. To date 17km have been explorer. The ticket of 8 (adult) gives you a free visit of the archeological museum in Dorgali (15 minutes away). The is a hotel-restaurant near buy. I would advise to take a coffee or having lunch. The view is spectacular and the food is incredible.
SPOILER ALERT: unfriendly and unnecessarily complicated Visit We tried to call 5 times the number on the website (3 times from a Swiss number and 2 from an Italian one) and we got no answer. we needed information on the ticket reservation as we wanted to avoid to wait outside with 35 degrees. We wanted to get the visit at 3pm, therefore we arrived 10 minutes ahead the start of the visit to get the tickets. when we arrived, the 2 (yes TWO) people at the ticket office told us that the visit at 3 pm was busy, and we could only get the one at 4pm. When we told them that if only they had answered (as they should) we could have avoided the wait the answers were: - wait in the shadow (in front on the ticket office, together with 15 people in a small place like battery chickens - DURING COVID !) - that we could have booked on the internet (on their 80s old fashioned style website with 0 user friendly layout) - that is not mandatory to visit the “grotte” so that we could leave All this with a rude and unfriendly tone and without no excuses with respect to the fact that two people cannot manage to answer a phone.
Nice grotto with the highest stalagmite in Europe, the staff is very nice and knowledgeable and the tour last about 40min. Worth to pop up if you are around the area.
Definitely worth it to visit this beautiful cave
