π‘ Tips for Visitors
Visit during calm weather conditions between late spring and early autumn for the best chance to see the cave, as rough seas can cancel boat tours. Book boat tours in advance as English-speaking guides may be limited; consider bringing a translation app. Bring cash as many local tour operators may not accept credit cards, and wear comfortable shoes suitable for boarding boats.
