Upon entering, you’re greeted by cool limestone formations, stalactites, and stalagmites that have been shaped over thousands of years. The guide’s insightful narrative about the caves’ history, from their formation to their use as a hiding place for escaped slaves, makes the experience all the more enriching. The lighting within the caves accentuates the beauty of the rock formations, and the tour’s manageable length ensures you won’t feel overwhelmed. It’s a unique introduction to the island’s natural and cultural heritage.
