Ben's Cave is part of the Lucayan National Park. It was interesting to see fresh water and salt water in the same cavern. The waters had beautiful colors and the fish that were visible were unusual. After generations in the darkness of the cavern, the fish had adapted to the lack of light and fresh water fish survive in salt... More

They were smaller than what I thought they would be. You don't need more than 1/2 hour to look at them. If you go make sure you seen Gold Rock beach, now that is worth the trip.

Awesome experience - lots of fish in the water. Blue clear and deep. Head over to Gold Rock Beach on the other side of the highway once your done at the caves. Most beautiful beach in the world :)

There is a trail that takes you through the park. It's not a long trail. Maybe an hour or two depending on how long you take at the sites. There's a nice little area that has a circular staircase which brings you into a cavern where there are underwater caves. I think you may be able to dive here, although... More

This is a water cave. Me and my freind visited in April. We hired a taxi to take us around. He took us to the park which is well worth the price. Bens Cave is really neat.

Small cave, adjacent to beautiful beach. $5 to park. Small, easy walk. Did this while in Freeport on a Cruise. Rented a car to get to the Lucayan National Park, where the cave is located.

This is not a cave that you can walk through underground. It is a water cave that goes out to the ocean. It was interesting though, it was a nice hike to this cave and the other cave nearby. There were fish to see in the water and during certain times of the year there are bats to see there... More

There was so much to see and the guide was so helpful. It was a wonderful experience. Our guide took numerous photos and posted them online for us which was a fabulous bonus.

Very cool, although just one cave was open when we were there it was well worth the trip. Beautiful small cave with crystal clear water. Don't miss the beach across the street, it is paradise!

We were a little disappointed with Ben's Cave, as we thought we were going "spelunking" and found out otherwise. It is a small, shallow cave that you can't actually go in, just look at from a wooden deck. We didn't even see any bats or cave dwelling animals. But the tour was well worth it because we got to go... More
