Lue Jajinyi Cave

Reviewed By bhittle - San Diego, United States

This cave is about a 10min walk from the dock to the right on the paved road. Easy to get to. You pay $10AUD to enter the property which is next to the church. There will be locals at the shaded area and you are safe to leave any large bags. Take some fresh water especially if it's warm. I would recommend water shoes although you can tough it out once at the cave but the rock can be jagged. This under water cave was the source of fresh water for the locals until it became a tourist attraction. The island has many underwater caves like this as one local told us. Not recommended for handicapped or persons unable to handle trail elevations. Its a steep descent into the cave opening. If you are considering bringing children they need to be good swimmers capable of climbing out of the water once they jump in. You cannot touch the bottom. Once inside it's Incredible! Locals have wired a light inside so you can see. The water is crystal clear. Refreshing is the word everyone used to describe how it feels once you jump in. You could spend about 45min to 1 hr here. It was a great way to end our day after snorkeling and hanging out on the beach.

Grotte de Hortense

Reviewed By lifewithtiarna - Brisbane, Australia

We thought that the cave was an extremely cool place to visit! There was a small entrance fee but that is okay as it goes to the locals! There was a really nice short forest walk to get there and the cave was beautiful! Definitely walk deeper into the cave, through the dark and you will find a really nice area
