Hike to Turtle Cave

09/09/18

First, we wondered if we should visit this place given the few scare-tactic reviews. Then, we realized these reviewers had 1 review and had the intention of scaring people into not visiting this beautiful place. With that being said, this is a very doable adventure. We were able to easily climb down the path and there were only two places where we needed to use the establish ropes, which were there for safety. The only danger I can see is during a high tide, which you shouldn't attempt to visit the cave. We were able to enter the cave safely and to our surprise there was one large turtle resting. This is was a rare moment and we exercised a very high level of respect for the turtle. We didn't approach it nor did we take any photos, we just appreciated its presence. The climb out was easy, though if it rains I can see how it would be a little slick. Again, I am sure the locals and those that live nearby don't want the public traveling here, but it is a public place so they should accept that fact.
