Well worth the trip. Stunning caves, great opportunities to swim around and explore the back/dark caves. There are a few fresh water eels which were great to see.
Opted to take along fins and a mask. Happy we did. The fins allowed you to enjoy the caves for longer and the mask makes ducking under the rocks to the back cave easier.

I have read reviews: many of people writhed that this cave is not interesting, it is difficult, or dangerous. I can't agree. The first grotto is similar to a high medieval Catholic Cathedral, but not made by people. Magnificent spectacle. But we were lucky, our boat was the first, and we visited the cave in silence. Later, it became crowded and noisy. Local guys jumped from the rocks, one guy jumped almost from under the arch, it was definitely dangerous for him. The water in the cave is not particularly cold, because it is ordinary water from the warm ocean, it has a free exchange. There is no sun in the cave. Diving into the second grotto is not particularly difficult for those who can swim and can hold their breath for at least 10 seconds. In the tunnel there is a small turn, but the guides insure and show the direction, you need to swim to the light of a torch. No need to be afraid and no need to panic. The second grotto is also interesting, you can swim in it, some niches receive daylight from the outside world. Good experience and good contrast after swimming among corals.

I never wanted to leave. I was one of the first in the tour group into the caves and last to leave. It was exciting to swim in the under water tunnel to the dark enclosed cave but I enjoyed the open cave much more. I could have stayed there forever. I saw one of the fish and made a wish I hope comes true. It wasn't the red fish but both fish should be magical. I highly recommend this trip!

The Sawa-i-Lau Caves is a popular attraction in the Yasawas, but travellers should be aware of some details:
1. getting to the caves is a fun, crazy ride in long boats powered by outboard motors, but if you are nervous about being in an open "tinny" this may not be for you
2. the caves are accessed by a flight of stairs leading up from the beach and then steeply down inside the cave - you have to take a big leap off a narrow platform into the water - a few of the people accompanying us on the trip were nervous about doing this
3. the water in the caves looks clean and clear but from experience - is not. The tide never completely cleans out the water because it is only charged from a small opening under water level. Don't drink the water (its salty anyway) but try not to get it in your mouth
4. the main cave is open to the sky and although not beautiful, is picturesque, a second cave is accessed via a narrow swim-through tunnel. This second one is enclosed, pitch black and way too creepy for this writer to go into, but most others in the group did.
5. to get out of the water you have to climb up a metal ladder back up to the narrow platform - this ladder is ancient, rusty and has several sharp edges.
6. as a matter of course on your trip to Fiji, make sure your Tetanus shots are up to date and take antiseptic like Dettol or Betadine for cuts and grazes, as well as a course of antibiotics for unexpected illnesses. Doctors and treatment are a very long way away. I cut my foot badly on the ladder getting out of the caves and my partner got a nasty stomach bug - later diagnosed as Amoebic Dysentery - we firmly believe the not-so-pure water was the cause.
All in all the trip to the caves was worthwhile, just for the experience. Remember to take a small amout of cash as there are some nice local necklaces and souveniers available from a few women on the beach - and take an underwater camera!

This was my 4th visit to Fiji. During my previous 3 visits, I stayed in the Tokoriki Island Resort once(1st visit) and in the Paradise Cove Resort in the central Yasawas twice. I deliberately came to the Northern Yasawas this time because I wanted to visit these caves.
The thing about these caves which attracted me wasn't so much about its physical presence but the legend surrounding it. I am going to go into the spiritual aspect of the sacred Sawa-i-Lau caves, I know that this isn't for everyone, but please bear with me. A year ago, while I was on vacation at the Paradise Cove resort, a local Fijian elder told me about the legend of these caves. The locals in these parts believe that the cave is the abode of the 10-headed serpent god called Ulutini, he is the guardian of the Yasawas and protector of the Fijian islands. And within these caves dwell a fresh water eel and a red snapper, these 2 creatures are immortal and physical manifestations of the spirits of water and they will remain in their existing forms, without growing old and dying, forever. I personally have a connection with spirits of the ocean, and I found this legend fascinating. I had to check it out.
This time,I traveled to Fiji together with a good friend who is a professional underwater photographer, and we stayed at the Blue Lagoon Beach Resort on Nacula island. The great thing about staying at this resort is: their excursion boat is always the first to arrive at the caves in the early morning, before this place is swamped by tourists from other nearby resorts. We were the first to arrive on a Friday morning, the weather was gorgeous and warm.
Important note No.1 : please wear swimming shoes or cheap sandals, because you will have to walk across a rocky beach made up of sharp rocks, to get from your boat to the foot of the entrance to the caves. My friend and I came bare-footed and I nearly cut my feet.
Important note No.2 : You shouldn't bring anything valuable with you which you aren't going to wear to enter the caves, because you will have to leave all your belongings which aren't water-proof, on the ground outside the cave. There will be up to a hundred visitors from many other resorts piling all their belongings on top of yours, so please be aware of this! Don't bother bringing your sunglasses, cellular phones and non-waterproof cameras on this excursion. My friend and I didn't even bring any towels because we knew what to expect. We came here in swimwear and with our waterproof cameras and GoPros, that was it.
Important note No.3 : The water in the caves is approximately 5 metres deep, and the water temperature is slightly colder than the ocean outside. Therefore, I highly recommend non-swimmers and weak swimmers to wear life-jackets for this visit. Please be warned that you are required to tread water for the entire time you are in these caves or you can fight for a spot on the rocky outcrop which Brooke Shields sat on in the movie: The Blue Lagoon! There will be many people trying to get a spot on that rock because it is the best spot to rest. Actually, there is a shallow area where you can stand on the sides of the slippery rocks at the other end of the cave. The water is slightly brackish(salty) and quite clear if the place is not crowded with people. Snorkeling masks or swimming goggles are highly recommended as well. My friend and I are very experienced freedivers, I did several freedives to the bottom of the main cave without any mask & goggles and the water was quite comfortable on my eyes. However, to enter into the second cave, I wore my goggles to dive under the entrance in order to see where I was going clearly.
Important note No.4 : Please follow the instructions of your snorkeling guides in order to enter the second cave. You will need to hold your breath for around 5 seconds and swim under the rocky wall. Once inside the second cave, it is pitch-black, and you will need to give yourself a bit of time to adjust to the conditions in there. If you are claustrophobic, are afraid of dark spaces and you are a weak swimmer, you might want to reconsider going into the second cave. In the second cave, your guide will lead you to a chamber around 40 metres from the entrance, where there is a cavity in the ceiling of the cave which allows a bit of light in. Please remember: you will have to tread water the whole time you are in the second cave and there is no telling how deep the water is in the second cave because it is just too dark to see anything other than the torchlights which your guide will use to guide you around inside here. To exit the second cave, please follow your guide's instructions again. Alternatively, the is another way to exit the second cave but you will have to be a highly experienced freediver to do so! It requires you to surface dive down to a depth of around 4 metres and swim underwater for a distance of around 7 metres, under the rock wall between the main & 2nd caves, before you surface back in the main cave. My friend and I did precisely this because we are very experienced freedivers. PLEASE DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBTS ABOUT YOUR OWN SWIMMING ABILITIES!!!!!!
Important Note No.5 : THE LEGEND OF THE RED SNAPPER IS TRUE!!!!!! My friend and I took many underwater photos and videos in the main cave, of ourselves freediving to the bottom and diving through the larger cavities of the rocks on the bottom, we both had a great time frolicking in the main cave. Everybody from our group had left the caves and gone outside onto the beach and we refused to leave. We asked for a time extension from our guide, in order to continue freediving and filming here. We were given an extra 15 minutes by Vatili, our snorkeling guide from our resort and we continued having so much fun in the water!!! We reluctantly left eventually because hordes of other tourists began arriving and the main cave became too crowded. There was hardly any room to swim out of there! And back in the resort, while I was looking through the footage we had recorded that day, I realized that we had captured footage of the red snapper at the bottom of the main cave in one of our video clips!!!!!! And when I asked a senior staff member working in our resort, who lives in a village on Nacula island, about the legend of the eel, he said that he has seen the eel in the cave before! Therefore: the legends of those 2 creatures, the eel & the red snapper, are not folklore!!!!!! If you are swimming in the caves and something brushes against your legs and torso, please do not panic or freak out, because now you know what they are.
I personally felt very comfortable with the energy of the caves during the short time that I had spent there. The water, the vibes and the general flow of the spiritual energy of the place made me feel very peaceful & happy and I will certainly return to these sacred caves if I am ever in this part of the world again! Please come here with an open mind and receive the blessings of the cave & water spirits with an open heart.
I wish everyone reading this review safe travels, always!

The tide was half way to full during our trip and the dive into the middle caves was way too deep and dark for our 9 and 11 year old children. My husband went first and came back saying, no way, so we sat with the youngest crying from disappointment in the very smelly, grubby water of the main cave until the group returned. One of the group, a Mum in her 50s, was visibly upset from claustrophobia and was shaking for ten to fifteen minutes afterward. The guides had only one torch between them, which was surprising, as at the very least two torches would be needed for safety in the total darkness of the middle cave.
I have since found a definite report of a 27 year old Irish tourist drowning here on a guided trip in 2008 (you can find this on a google search for Sawa-i-lau drowning, Fiji times online) and have found an unconfirmed report on a blog of a local school girl drowning here in 2011. I think this is a good day trip for adults who are confident swimmers, but am surprised that children under 12 are allowed, and wouldn't advise it.

This was to be our second visit to the caves however due to the lack of maintenance the stairs and rails were unsafe and the captain of our boat deemed it too unsafe. It's a shame and seeing as though the land owners collect $10 from each and every visitor they can't seem to look after their infrastructure which affords them this income

I regret having taking the trip to visit the caves, which is greatly overrated. The island and waters around the caves are gorgeous, but the caves are a total letdown. It was overcrowded and noisy. Everyone is trying to find a foothold in the waters, squeezed into little corners tightly to take turns to squeeze into the second cave.
The caves are fine if you haven’t visited caves before, but it’s rather small and unspectacular. The water is greenish and not exactly clean. The second cave is dark, tight and nothing to see, something to do only for the sake of it. The beach on the landing area is rocky, not for swimming.

If you are at Northern Yasawas, trip to swim in the Sawa-i-Lau cave is well worth the effort. When you approach the cave the coastal views of Nacula are dramatic! The main cave/ pool is quite large and one end of it open to sky so there is good amount of light. I believe it is some 5-7 metres deep so it is good fun to dive the with torch and visibility is good. In few places there are built resting places to sit or hold while admiring the cave and also some rocks to sit or gran on. The cave has very high ceiling. There is also small freshwater eel(s) and saltwater snapper(s) patrolling the cave where water is mixed water.
There is another smaller darker cave where you can enter with a easy and simple 1 meter dive (or at low tide as in our case basically not even a dive but small dip your head below surface). We went with a guide who had a torch which was handy. This cave is also deep but narrow and winding ending with a small pool with light coming from ”chimney” where at high tide water comes in. I believe you can visit this cave only at low tide. The torch light makes beautiful colors to dance on the walls and echo is strong when you shout BULA! The dive back to main cave is beautiful with daylight and light blue water leading your way.
At the moment when you go in or come out of water there is no jumping or rusty dangerous staircases anymore, instead there is new steel steps so it is just like going in to a swimming pool. When ascending to the cave you just mind your head as the ceiling is low. So in terms of getting in or out of the water or diving into the second cave there is nothing difficult or tricky. I am not sure what the normal crowd level here is but we visited 10am on 18 Dec and for most of the visit it was just me and my wife in the whole cave. Entry fee is FJD35.

We visited the caves whilst staying at the Blue Lagoon Beach Resort. We did our trip in the morning as you need to go at low tide. Apparently the afternoon is the best time to visit as the sun streams down inside the cave.
If you haven't been in caves before you will find it pretty cool, swimming under to the 2nd cave is fairly straightforward and anyone that can swim even to a basic level can do it.
There are some stalls set up with local ladies from the village selling craft items etc when you come out.

You can either get sea plane or daily ferry out there. If going by ferry pay extra for the captain's lounge

Hi-
Some reviews mention a raft available in the second cave (or even in the first as well?) if anyone needs a quick break or is not a strong swimmer, is that always available?
Cheers!

Hi, just curious: If you wanna jump into the water, can you access the high spots from within the caves or do you have to get in from the outside?
Thanks a lot!
Written October 29, 2016
I climbed up, but I think you can access some of the jumping spots from outside as well. Climbing up is a bit slippery, but doable if you have any strength at all.

Hi, Ill be staying at the Barefoot Manta Resort on Drawaqa Island. What's the best way of getting to the Sawa-I-Lau Caves?
Written September 26, 2015
They probably don't run trips from there. You pretty much have to go way up to the Blue Lagoon to visit the caves.

Hi,
I am staying in Nadi and was wondering are there day trips to sawa-i-lau caves.
Thank you
Written February 3, 2015
Pretty much not. The Yasawa Flyer boat takes half a day to get to the Blue Lagoon and from there it takes about anther 2 hours by small boat to the caves and back. Really it takes longer because you stay at the caves for a while. So you're looking at least an overnight trip.
