Blue Cave — Attraction in Tafea

North Tanna Blue Cave Tour

Only a 30 minute open boat trip up the limestone coast from Rockwater, you would expect this beautiful natural ocean cave to feature in a James Bond movie.

The boat picks you up from our beach to follow the coastline right up to the entrance of the cave. You will not see the entrance if there is a high tide, hence you will need to hold your breath and dive under the entrance coral wall…a leap of trust in your guide is required here. A few metres of underwater swimming and you surface in this serene, magnificent chamber.

NOTE:

The tour may be cancelled if we believe the weather conditions are not safe.

The Blue Cave landowners do not operate on Saturday.

TIP: Take a waterproof camera; you won’t regret the purchase as there are many images to take above and below the water.

If you are not a good swimmer/snorkeler only go when the weather is perfectly calm and it is low tide. If unsure, ask us at the front desk; we are happy to advise you.

Bring snorkel, fins, and ensure you have sun protective clothing and hat, sunscreen, and beach towel.

Bring a bottle of water or two as you will...
