💡 Insider Tip: Bring a light jacket – it's naturally cool inside year-round! The cave has been called everything from "Rum Caves" to "Runaway Bay Caves" throughout history, but locals know the best photo spot is at the underground lake where the limestone formations create natural frames. Early morning tours (9-10 AM) are less crowded and guides have more time for detailed stories about the Taino pottery fragments still discovered here.
