🛶 Non-swimmers can still experience the beauty of the cave by paddling inside via canoe from Kaputas Beach or drifting in with a small dinghy from a gulet cruise.
🪂 For thrill-seekers, a natural ledge at the mouth of the cave provides the perfect spot to jump into the crystal-clear waters below.

🚤 Today, visitors can only reach the cave by boat or, for the adventurous, by swimming from Kaputas Beach.
⚠️ Note for swimmers: While the distance from Kaputas Beach is short, strong currents near the cave’s entrance can pull swimmers towards the rocks, so caution is advised.
