Loved seeing and swimming with the turtles in the cave. Wasn’t overcrowded at all, only four other people there at the same time. The only thing I’d say is it was not three hours; we had maybe 45 minutes in the cave and did feel as though we were being waited on to get out; however, that was plenty of time as it is a small area.

È una bella esperienza, ma bisogna sottolineare che troverete molta confusione. Gli ingressi non sono contingenti, entra chiunque scegliete ora molto presto. Occhio alle tartarughe, sono in cattività, morsicano!
