the snorkling at the Caves as well as Kelly's Cove at Norman Island were some of the best we found during our trip. We started our vacation there and liked it so much we went back to spend our final night there as well! More

Great snorkeling. Be sure to snorkel in the smaller cave- this is where the pirate's treasure was found. Another neat thing about this was you can actually go through the cave and come out on the other side! Really neat! After u snorkel head to Willy T's for a fresh meal with great views. More

Between these caves and out front of Pirates on Norman as well as the Indians this was the best snorkeling. We moored for 2 days and should have stayed longer. More

Loved this for a short, hour-long snorkel. Three major caves, clear water, interesting fish. The only drawback is the number of other snorkelers in the area. More

This is a nice place to see a lot of colorful fishes and corals, and it´s possible to swim or to snorkel near and into the caves. You can leave your ship, boat or sailboat in The Bight (a bay near it) and get the Caves by Dinghy. This is an unforgettable place. More

You can moor up close to the caves, the sealife was very good, the water is clear as gin and we did not find jellyfish here (did elsewhere). going into the cave was great, millions of little fish, the colors are unbelievable. More

Really a cool place to snorkel. You can swim inside the caves and can look out underwater after your eyes adjust to the light. Lots of interesting coral formations and I saw a giant sea turtle. Too bad I didn't have an underwater camera. More
