The Sawa-i-Lau Caves are limestone caves on a Fiji Island called Sawa-i-Lau, which is a small island off the southern tip of Yasawa Island. They are famous for being one location for the movie The Blue Lagoon from 1980 with Brooke Shields.
The cave has has several cave chambers with deep pools and the highlight of every visit is to swim inside the cave between limestone walls.
Visits to the cave are offered by several tour operators, typically as part of a day trip or an island cruise. And it is possible to hire a guide at the village of Nabukeru. The caves are not closed, but it is recommended to take a guide, as it is not easy to find them. Beneath the main chamber there are numerous small caves which are visited best by boat.
Around the caves are strange and mystic limestone formations, which are a sight of their own.
