was this difficult or scary?? I am going in August and really want to go into the cave. It doesn't seem like it took that long. How about getting out? Would you recommend the swim?
I'm so sorry! I'm terrible at checking my youtube channel. I hope you were able to make it safely if you dared to venture out there! But for anyone else who is interested in doing the swim, I ended up doing the swim around the beginning of May (maybe the second week or so). There were a lot of other swimmers who made it to the cave. I unfortunately did the swim around high tide (5 pm or so--maybe that's not actually high tide--I don't know much about ocean currents honestly--the waves were strong). I would not advise doing the swim around then. It was kinda scary getting out of the cave around that time since the waves were pretty strong around the opening of the cave. There is another tricky spot where spot where you turn to enter the cave. Again, the waves are strong there and you feel like you're basically going no where, but once you're past it, you're almost there. I would only recommend the swim if you're a strong swimmer. There were a few people who had surfboards/wake boards, which is also a good option if you're wanting something to hold on to.
