Good to know

The practical details.

01

What to bring

Swimwear and sunscreen, towels and snorkelling gear are already on board.

02

Timing the cave

The blue glow is strongest in late-morning light, so we plan swims either side of the cave visit.

03

When to book

A half-day trip, 2 to 4 hours. Two to four weeks ahead in peak summer; an ID card is enough.

What’s included?
Skipper, fuel, water, soft drinks, beer and white wine, towels, SUP, snorkelling equipment, insurance and final cleaning. Free hotel transfer is also included.

Yes. The skipper anchors at the entrance and swims in with you, and lifejackets are on board. Tell us in advance if anyone is a nervous swimmer and we’ll keep close.
How many swim stops are there?
Three to four, depending on conditions and what the group wants. This route is built for time in the water rather than sightseeing ashore.

Masks and snorkels, a stand-up paddleboard, pool floats and towels, all included. Bring your own reef shoes if you like, though they’re not essential.
