Tomolol Cave

Goa Keramat Tomolol

A domed cave partly submerged in seawater, reached by small boat or by swimming through. Stalactites hang inside, and ancient rock art decorates the cliffs outside.

Tomolol Cave is on the south coast of Misool's main island, around Tomolol Bay. Locals regard it as a sacred site (Goa Keramat). The cave mouth is half underwater. Small boats can enter, or you can swim or snorkel in. Inside, the dome soars high and stalactites cover the walls, and when sunlight streams through the entrance the water glows bright blue. Nearby cliffs bear ochre handprint rock art and ancient burial remains. Before entering, pay the management fee in the village and respect local taboos. Do not touch any artifacts in the cave.
