Palaha Cave
Palaha
Another sea cave beside Ariki Cave, with stalactites and colorful reef tidepools. An easy detour if you're already nearby.
Palaha Cave sits right next to Ariki Cave and shares its parking area. It's a few minutes' walk away. The cave opens onto the sea, with stalactites hanging from the roof. Outside the mouth lie colorful reef tidepools full of coral and small fish, and when light streams in through the opening, it makes for beautiful photos. Most visitors combine it with Ariki Cave, which takes about half an hour in total. Go at low tide, and watch your footing, as the rocks are slippery.
