A flight of stairs along a hillside will lead you to the entrance to the expansive cave. The 45-minute tour explores a series of limestone caverns laced with sprinkles of glistening natural quartz stones and 2 mineral springs inside. Eyes gradually adjust to the interior darkness with the help of a string of light bulbs lining the walls to reveal the intricate details. The space can promote a sacred feeling, especially from visual and fragrant evidence of rituals at some points. This includes melted wax candles, incense, marijuana, and even physical offerings such as money. “Powerful” is one word that remains with you after touring the caves of the Roaring River, partly because your tour guide sprinkles this adjective after sharing numerous anecdotes. You’ll even be told stories of how local artistes such as Beenie Man and Peter Tosh have enjoyed the cave sanctuary.
Two cool mineral springs offer refreshing swims while touring. One of them is shallow enough to sit in, while the other apparently still has no confirmed depth.
