About this guide
Lava-tube swimming hole at Letui village — a collapsed cave roof opens onto a long freshwater pool bats nest in. Wade in from the shallow end and swim across; the water is cool and brackish-fresh. Village fee includes a local guide who points out the bat roosts. Bring a torch for the deeper end. Slippery rocks — water shoes recommended.
