Green Grotto Caves
A voyage into the enchantment of the underworld… a speologist’s fantasy, a mysterious and adventurous green cavern, a piece of Jamaican history… The relatively unknown labyrinth of mystical underground caverns known as Green Grotto Caves, which is encircled by lush flora and supplied with fresh waters pouring from its secret depths, has been dubbed “part of your holiday with a difference.” The Green Grotto Caves provided such quiet and peace that its rich history can be traced back to many groups of people, including its earliest inhabitants, the Arawak Indians (Tainos), who used the caves for a variety of purposes. The numerous fragments of pottery and artifacts that are uncovered from time to time are proof of this.

Green Grotto Caves are located 2 miles east of Discovery Bay and 2.5 miles west of Runaway Bay, off the main coastal road. The easiest method to get there is by vehicle, however because parking is restricted, a bus or taxi ride is an option. A visit to the caves is included in several island trips. Walking on rough surfaces necessitates the use of appropriate footwear. The caves are accessible on a daily basis
The huge labyrinthine limestone cave with its unique rock formations, stalactites, stalagmites, and profusion of overhead ceiling pockets, as well as bats, is the main feature of this natural attraction.
The Green Grotto is 1,525 metres long and 12 metres deep, with various chambers and light openings, as well as an underground lake called the Grotto Lake.
