Anahulu Cave Tonga is part of the Bula! Fiji Hub Trip Report.
Don’t stop the recklessness. That was my theme when I was in Tonga. First, I went swimming with whales (see What Was I Thinking?). Then I thought I would push my luck by checking out an underground cave full of fresh water.
Getting There
I hired a taxi to take me to my hotel, wait for me, and take me back.
Entrance
The place reminded me of The Goonies, I’m not sure who found this place, but entrance is not free.
The Cave
Careful walking through the limestone. The floor is slippery when wet.
The Swimmers
I didn’t expect that music would be blasting and that there would be a small party here.
The Divers
There were crazy locals jumping, diving, and hanging off of the rocks.
The Gimp
The crazy jumpers thought that out of fear was the reason I was hesitant to jump. They did not know that I had ruptured my Achilles in 2022 (see TPOL Is Down). A year and a half later, I still don’t have my Durant lift.
Moving On
It’s worth checking out the cave for a few minutes.
The Beach
Before heading out, I took a stroll on the remote beach.
The Earthquake
On the way back, we heard there was an earthquake on the other side of the island. Like a scene from Baywatch, it would not be fun to be stuck in a cave waiting for Mitch to arrive.
Overall
Enough hazardous behavior for one day.
