“This is the La Merveilleuse grotto”
Sep 2019
As per La Merveilleuse grotto review, this is a worthwhile visit , made even better by the guide, who spoke 6 languages fluently . My only gripe was the Tourist Office in Dinant told us the cave opened at 11am , with hourly tours. We walked the uphill kilometre to the cave, only to find it was not opening till 1pm. Not sure who is responsible for that lack of correct information. When we returned at 3pm, the tour wasn’t starting until 3.15pm, so it appears the times are more flexible than the website had expressed. But do visit, very worthwhile.

It was the most magical expierence ever. The city Dinant is already really beautyfull and good food. The people living send me to this place... And i loved it. The guide was like really into his story. He did not work there for money, NO, he worked there because he just enjoyed, to really let your fantasy's in the cave go. It was amazing, his acting skills... He's making you shake out of fear and happiness. It was really a thrilling 4D expierience. I wish i could just live there in Dinant. And visit the cave everyday. I really felt the silents and the cold threu my vains. The man also had to just do it for 1 hour,... But we WHERE THE LASTS ONE... So he was really putting al his extra time in the whole experience, and he did not even take the tip we gave him,....

Amazing!

Our guide took us down into the cave and told a lot about it :) It's amazing how different and colorful this place can be. If you have good imagination, you'll see waterfalls, animals, witches and even small Buddha there. If no - well, anyway you can be impressed by the spacious hall under the ground. And if you are lucky, you'll meet local bat sleeping on the wall :)

If u have too much time....still sould prefer to sit at the river bank and have a drink...:-)) I visited the cave with kids and family friends. First the guided tours are operated on hourly basis. Better to call and check the timings..Guide is excellent...Wont surprise unless u are visiting with an objective of studying it.

Fascinating and very well guided!
Jul 2018 • Family
The cave is beautiful and interesting. We had an attentive, knowledgeable, nice guide.
Although we were the only non French speakers, he made an effort to guide the tour simultaneously French and English without missing a detail. We enjoyed very much the karstic phenomena and the explanations. Children and adults can have here fun together.
The kind people at the counter helped us planning the day in Dinant. Thank you all.

Simply Amazing

This is a unique experience. As you go deeper into the cave, you are left spell bound with the amazing limestone formations.
Carry a sweater or a jacket as it's cold in the cave. And mind your head.
The guide is part of the tour.

Day out
Aug 2018 • Couples
Easy to find, free parking, not too expensive, ok that’s the positives covered.
I found this set of caves rather underwhelming. It consisted of three layers, two of which you walked through and each chamber was relatively small with linked walkways. The third layer you could only view. Our tour guide pointed out the largest stalagmite in Europe. ... I’m sure I’ve seen many more impressive versions at Malham. If it’s a hot day and you want a day out where it’s cool, head for Les Grotte de Han, much more impressive.

Waste of our time

We walked up the hill to the grotte for opening time at 11.00 am. Apparently there was a technical problem so the grotte was closed. No, they did not know if or when the technician would arrive. Not very professional.

We decided to visit cause the weather was not ideal for outdoor activities. At the end the caves have their own unique charateristics that made the visit very interesting. A tour guide in 3 languages will guide you inside the cave. Beware, some pieces of the itinerary are very narrow, overall, compared to other similar locations I visited in Europe, these are probably the most claustrophobic.

Visit the Dinant Caves!
Oct 2017
Do make an effort to visit the caves in Dinant. An easy walk from the city centre, as parking at the caves are limited. Affordable entry price which includes a guide. About 10degC once inside, so take something warm, even if it is hot outside.
