Najbolje vrijeme za posjetu

Come in the morning between 07.00 and 09.00, when the water is calmest and the light penetrates the gap perfectly. The dry season from June to December provides the most stable weather for swimming all day.

Savjeti za budžet

There is no entrance ticket for swimming at the site; the only expense is a water taxi across the harbor, around 1 dollar one way. Bring your own food and drinking water because there are no stalls along the trail.

O atrakciji

Brze činjenice: Voda u njemu spaja slatke izvore iz koralnih stijena i morsku vodu koja prodire kroz podzemne pukotine, stvarajući dva različita sloja saliniteta. Na dnu pukotine duboke gotovo 12 metara, sunčeva svjetlost dopire do vidljivosti od oko 10 metara, otkrivajući strme vulkanske litice od vrha do dna.

Istaknuto: Pukotina široka oko 10 metara dijeli liticu lave visoku osam metara, a voda je toliko bistra da se od površine do dna vide dvije različite boje. Snažna struja koja prodire kroz pukotinu grebena na sjevernoj strani osjeća se kao dah okeana, a iskusni plivači mogu istraživati taj tamni prolaz stotinama metara prema otvorenom moru.

Insajderski savjeti

Wear water shoes or beach sandals, because the rocks around the crevice are sharp and the iron stairs can be slippery.
Rent snorkeling gear in town before leaving, around 5 dollars a day, because there is no rental at the site.
Arrive before 8 in the morning to enjoy the calmest water before the tour groups arrive.
Avoid diving into the canal at the northern end while the current is strong, just explore the main pool which is safer.
