Swallows' Cave
Anapekepeka
A sea cave on Kapa Island that small boats can enter directly. Its water is crystal clear, and schools of small fish and swallows dart about inside.
Swallows Cave lies on the northwest side of Kapa Island. Its entrance is tall enough for small boats to sail straight inside. Sunlight pours through the opening and turns the water a gemstone blue, and underwater visibility often exceeds 20 metres. Visitors can snorkel among the fish, while swiftlets nest on the cave ceiling. Many historical carvings cover the walls. It is usually a stop on whale-watching or island-hopping day trips, and the boat ride from Neiafu takes about 30 minutes.
