We visited the caves while being on a private taxi tour. The taxi driver brought us to the caves. We were charged US$ 15 for 2 persons. I have no idea if this is normal but I think it was worth it. The entrance is a bit hard to find, but the taxi driver also guided us. It is not a large cave, but because of the mirroring in the water it was really lovely. I see now that it is possible to swim. I hope this will get forbidden quickly because it will spoil the stunning scenery. We were lucky to be just with the 3 of us in the cave. when we left, a bus lot of tourists arrived and I am sure they did not enjoy the tranquility as we did.

My first time swimming in an underground cave! It was so quiet, clean and cool. It was interesting there were no restrictions on what you could touch as well. A fabulous experience.

We came here by private car close to sunset & didn’t want to go into the caves. The caves were closed but the caretaker said he’d charge 3 of us (Palangis) to go in but not our Tongan friend. We just went to the beach for free! Beautiful white sand, gorgeous shells & hermit crabs. Definitely a nice small beach & protected area to swim in. Stayed until after dark.

We are a mature couple in 60's and my wife planned to change into her swimming costume at the location but they did not have a place to change expecting her to undress inside the cave in front of other younger people already in the cave. Later after we exited we found a Ladies toilet which we should have been told about on arrival as my wife never got to use the swimming pool. The mens toilet had no door and was very dirty. I still went in changing in the cave but feeling uncomfortable. Then on entering the swim area it was busy with lots of local teenagers so only stayed near the pool entry as the teenagers were diving off the stalagmites into the pool. I would have like to swim around but felt intimidated by the teenager activity and unwelcome for invading their local space so left disappointed. This could have been an excellent memorable positive experience for us if the staff had been attentive and settled the local teenagers down (who probably use this for free). I informed our driver and guide of the situation to help them improve for future visitors but doubt anything will change.

It was too deep and dark, so I quit entering, but it looked interesting. I was charged $15 local money and when they noticed I did not enter, they returned the money. VERY HONEST PEOPLE!

what a hidden gem this spot is. the cave is amazing with all the stalactites and stalagmites and at the final bend you can go down and get int he water. So cool and clear and beautiful. you can also jump off the rocks bordering the entry too. lots of fun!

These caves are simply stunning and the water is so refreshing and not too cold at all. I really enjoyed being here and seeing the amazing cave formations. The beach was also simply beautiful, but did need a clean up as someone had left bottles and food wrappers that were blowing everywhere.

These caves are worth the visit especially if you plan to have a swim. The pool at the end of the cave is clear and deep and not cold at all. It is a bit dark and eery but that's part of the fun. Take your googles - amazing to look at the rock formations underwater. If you like jumping into the water from rocks there are some good spots. The path is safe and well maintained although slippery in places. There is a beach a short walk away where you can swim, have lunch. There's a $15 charge per person as it is on private land.

This was a pleasant surprise on day trip on Tongatapu. Highly recommend if you have time on the mainland.

Great spot for a swim, very deep so definitely need to be able to swim. Easy walk although a bit uneven at times

Entry fee is $15TOP per person. It was an easy walk down in to the cave. The cave itself was amazing, with crystal clear water to swim in. Definitely worth the trip. There were even a few bats flying around inside!

First time visiting these amazing caves, didn’t even know they were in Tonga. You will need sturdy shoes and head torch is a good idea. Must see $15TOP per adult.

Fun place Pretty dark Beautiful view Not for young children Rocky and steep Have to go with more than one person

I do not know why people are saying this is expensive. $15 per person, This is an attraction and your paying for an experience so its well worth it! And remember your in Tonga dont go expecting something lavish. It is a cave so yes it is dark, wet, slippery and you do have to navigate around. If you are unable to move unassisted i do not recommend going in. The water is clear and very cold perfect on a hot day. The only downsides are the local kids constantly jumping into the water. BUT I must say it is incredible how high and close to the rocks these boys jump/dive. On a lucky day you will get the cave all to yourselves.

Very nice cave. Easy access, a little slippery in parts (it is a cave). You can swim if you want. No torch needed. It's either 10TOP or 15 TOP. Price may have changed recently.
