Bermuda is one of the most picturesque islands I’ve ever
been to! Beautiful blue ocean with foamy
white capped waves, open stretches of pink sandy seashore, and pretty, pastel
cottages painted butter, honeydew and mint! But to see the most breathtaking views on the
island, you must go underground, and discover the astonishing wonders of the
Crystal and Fantasy Caves of Bermuda!
The caves were discovered in 1907 when two young boys were playing
cricket and one hit the ball into a hole.
As the boys went looking for it, it soon became apparent that this was
not your ordinary hole. What the boys had discovered was, in fact, the entrance
to this spectacular natural wonder.
About 120 feet below the ground, the caves are like visiting
a wonderland. They’re filled with naturally formed, glimmering, jewel-like
stalactites that hang down from the ceiling of the cave and stalagmites that
jut up from the floor of the cave. As its name suggests, it has deep
crystal-clear pools of sapphire blue water and although it is up to 65 ft.
deep, it looks like it is just knee deep. Each cave is uniquely beautiful and
is a new adventure to discover.
I would recommend everyone visit the caves on their cruise
to Bermuda. They are located on Crystal Caves Road, off Wilkinson Avenue,
Bailey's Bay, Hamilton Parish, and can be reached by taxi or public bus. They are
open daily 9am – 5pm with guided tours leaving every 20 minutes.
