Gasparee Caves is an awesome spot to visit if you're into adventure and nature! The caves are located on Gasparee Island, and getting there involves a fun boat ride, which makes the whole experience even more exciting. Once you get to the caves, you're greeted by impressive stalactites and stalagmites, definitely a sight to see. You walk down a Staircase into the caves, if you have a fear of heights, be wary. The tour is informative, and the guides are friendly, sharing interesting details about the history and formation of the caves. The inside of the caves has a cool, mysterious vibe, and the lighting adds to the atmosphere. Very beautiful place and nice experience, I recommend. Visited with tour group discover868
