"Descending about 120 feet into an Ice Age–era world of centuries-old stalactites, stalagmites, and subterranean lakes felt otherworldly, and while the guided tours reveal stunning cavernous chambers, I would caution that the approach passages are tight—so it’s not for the claustrophobic and it’s wise to contact operators in advance, though walk-in tours may be available during peak season." - Katherine Cusumano, David LaHuta

"Along with pink sands and green golf courses, these subterranean grottoes are among Bermuda 's iconic sites. First discovered in 1907 by the same family who still owns them, the caverns have spectacular crystal formations, crystalline pools, and underground waterways. Guided tours of the Crystal Cave, which measures more than 1,600 feet long and more than 200 feet deep, explain the differences between stalagmites and stalactites as well as the science behind the impressive underwater formations. A visit to the adjacent Fantasy Cave, which is deeper still, is included in the ticket price."
