Crystal Caves is one of the largest cave systems in Bermuda and its dramatic collection of stalactites and stalagmites is quite sensational. Eighty feet below ground level, the caves have been well excavated without being spoilt.
The highlight of any visit is a walk along the low wooden bridge that has been built over the jewel-like underground Cahow Lake. With crystal-clear waters that are perfectly still, when you look into it you see either a perfect reflection of the lake's eerie, floodlit surroundings - looking like a scene out of The Lord of the Rings - or right down through to the water's rocky bottom 20 metres below. It is quite magical. Until, that is, someone drops a coke can down there.
Visitors to the caves can also take a leisurely walk in the beautiful Palm Garden, while children can check out Captain Jack's Treasure Trove. There is also the obligatory gift shop and cafe for those keen to offload their change.
