Crystal Cave
Located 36.6M / 120FT underground, Crystal Caves is one of the largest cave systems on our island. Its dramatic stalactites and stalagmites will astonish and inspire. Walk the pontoon bridge across underground Cahow Lake which supports a crystal clear depth of 17M / 55FT.
Fantasy Cave
Adjacent to the Crystal Caves, Fantasy Cave opened as a show cave in 1914 only to close its doors around WWII. Open once again, you will experience a much more challenging climb down into the cave - just be prepared for the steep climb back to the top. Tours begin with a walk through the park linking the two caves
