Details |
Emperor Garden is known for its caves and hot springs. After descending the mooring line, Nicky took us (3 at a time) into one of the caves. After exiting the cave we were sent to stay with the rest of the group. The group ended up becoming separated with no guide but we moved along the reef to the south and returned to the boat unguided. |
