Unfortunately not a pleasant experience. I think itās important for people to know this. ā ļø During our visit one of our group members drowned. He and his wife were the only two of our group wearing a life vest. They did not know how to swim. They were told they could not use the life vest in the second dark cave. I never once heard the guide say āif you donāt want to go into the dark cave itās okay to stayā Could be a language barrier?? They really should just allow people to decide and not feel forced. We donāt know the sequence of events of the drowning, it happened in silence and in complete darkness. He was pulled out of the second dark cave lifeless. There are no trained CPR lifeguards here. The man did not receive CPR from any of the staff. A doctor tourist was luckily there and administered it (he was already dead). This death was preventable, if proper safety precautions were taken. Honestly, this shouldnāt be an activity for tourist. I donāt recommend this place at all. It should remain a place for the locals/natives only? What shocked me was that they continued to let the next group go in (most stayed back after witnessing this situation) as if saying āthe show must go onā and making it seem as if it was insignificant and we should just move on. I understand these things happen but the way this situation was handled just didnāt seem right. Leaving it up to you to decide after knowing this information. After having this experience I can safely sayā¦ this is not for kids. Not for elderly people. Not for claustrophobic people. The steps to get into this cave are steep and slippery and the railing really isnāt helpful. Not for anyone who isnāt a strong swimmer or comfortable treading water the entire time. Honestly itās not that beautiful, itās a cave with green murky water. Doing some google searching there appears to be other drownings. Who really knows how many other people have lost their lives here due to the lack of safety measures.
These are great caves, but the guides really make it special. Sam and his brother Napoleon were awesome guides, they showed us the different areas of the cave complex, the traditions and stories of the eels, village gatherings at Christmas and encounters with the rich and famous. Make sure to ask for these guys at Nabukeru village. There's some inter village rivalry about custody of the cave and the current custodians charge an excessive $50 pp entry fee. I suggest you boycott the gift shop in protest.
Visiting the Sawa-i-Lau Caves was an awesome experience and one I highly recommend if you are visiting the islands of Fiji. The cave is only a 5 minute walk from the beach with steps leading up to the entrance and then down to the main cave, which is bathed in natural sunlight. This by itself is a great experience but the real adventure awaits when you dive down to swim through a narrow entrance to the hidden chamber! I can only say, its worth the effort as this inner cave is a magical experience and the acoustics are amazing, likely to bring out the opera singer in all of us :) It's an only a brief 10 second underwater swim to get to but be careful of banging your head on the rocks. A must do if in the area.
