Sawa-i-Lau Caves

The limestone caves feature multiple chambers with natural light filtering through openings in the ceiling, creating patterns on the deep blue waters below.

These caves were formed over millions of years through wave erosion and tectonic activity that raised the limestone structures above sea level.

The caves are considered the resting place of Ulutini, a Fijian deity with ten heads, and locals request permission before entering the sacred space.

Visitors can access the caves Monday from 9:00 to 11:00 and Tuesday through Saturday from 9:00 to 17:00 via boat trips from nearby resorts.

A second chamber is accessible through an underwater tunnel, where sunlight penetrates through limestone cracks to illuminate the hidden cavern space.
