This is a MUST do! - Magical experience! We followed the advice of a reviewer's recommendation to book early. We arrived at 08h00 and had the full hour and 30 minutes to ourselves before more people arrived. No photo can justify the serenity of this place. The premises itself is well kept, the staff really cares about nature and keeping it to the natural state. I can highly recommend the Maalum Ritual after the cave slot at the Spa. Such a spoil and highlight to our trip!

Hidden natural experience - Actually we wanted to visit another cave, but our guide "Klausi" recommended this one to us. She wouldn't be so overflowing and very beautiful. He didn't promise too much. We were on site in the morning of a day tour and loved it. It is located in a private hotel complex, looks very inconspicuous from the outside and the approach is very bumpy. But you will be surprised with a beautiful little natural wonder. A bath provided cooling and we enjoyed the tranquility. Those who are nearby should treat themselves to a visit. Since the bottom is sometimes very rocky, bathing shoes are appropriate.

Surprisingly super chill bath hole - Super delicious and cozy place where you can swim in fresh water, eat in a cozy cafe and relax in hangings. You borrow swimwear and swim mask and have 1.5 hours in the water. You have to book a time slot so there are not too many in the water. You can see less fish. Can only be recommended

What a wonderful spot for a refreshing break - This was an unexpected delight. You have to book your time slot beforehand as the slot are limited due to the size of the cave. Basically you go to swim in a cave pool for 90min. The water is super refreshing, there are some fish and crabs, and it's all in all really beautiful. A super relaxing experience - highly recommend.

Is nice to look at - A very beautiful cave with crystal clear water and wonderful rocks. Theoretically you can swim in the water, and they offer that, but in such countries you should avoid any freshwater for swimming, as there are often worms etc. in it (even if you can't see them)

Kuza - I thought better, perhaps because we arrived on a cloudy day, the 10 euro entrance fee is not repaid
