Najboljši čas za obisk

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.

Nasveti za proračun

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 znamenitosti

Hitre informacije: Voda združuje sladke izvire iz koralnih kamnin in morsko vodo, ki pronica skozi podzemne razpoke, kar ustvarja dve različni plasti slanosti. Na dnu razpoke, globoke skoraj 12 metrov, sončna svetloba prodira do vidljivosti približno 10 metrov in razkriva strme vulkanske stene od vrha do dna.

Poudarki: Približno 10 metrov široka razpoka preceplja osem metrov visoko lavno steno, voda pa je tako kristalno čista, da sta z vrha do dna vidni dve različni barvi. Močan tok, ki pronica skozi razpoke grebena na severni strani, je podoben dihanju oceana, izkušeni plavalci pa lahko po temnem rovu sledijo več sto metrov proti odprtemu morju.

Notranji nasveti

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.
