The Caves -
On the southern end of
Yasawa Island are the famous Sawa-i-Lau Caves.
We dove into a calm pool from atop incredible limestone formations into
the cool clear azure water below. The
caves are one of the most mysterious tourist attractions on the island. The native islanders believe that the caves
are home to deity Ulutini. Before going
to the caves visitors are asked to participate in a traditional ceremony in the
village, asking the guardians of the caves to allow them permission to enter.
The anchorage provided
for daily entertainment whether it be the visiting cruise ships, private
megayaghts parked beside us,
or the many seaplanes landing either side of
us. It was fun to be moored in the middle
of the runway.
The lagoon offered a
quiet serene location for Kaija to gunk hole and ideal snorkeling of the
many reefs.
This is a great stop
many reasons including the unique natural rock formations, the snorkeling, the
caves, the seaplanes, the locals and the megayaghts. From some of the poorest
to some of the richest…people are just people.
Ain’t Life Grand!
