I think it was 5 dollars a person, and of course for the experience, if it was here in the US it would be 75 and people would pay it.
The water temp was awesome!

we did the swim in the cave as a part of the Jeep Safari excursion, it was nice to see and swim in the cave, i wish the step into the water wasn't broken, it was a little difficult to get in and out of but i did manage and it was worth it

The cave is a real marvel, there are huge stalactites hanging over the cave with crystal clear water you can swim in.
It was a bit chilly for me to swim but my husband loved it and said it was the highlight of our holiday. Definitely worth a visit

We did a jeep safari tour and part of it was coming to these beautiful caves which were a must see. Swimming in crystal blue water that is really refreshing.

Once in a lifetime experience to swim and snorkel in crystal clear (cool but not freezing) water in a natural cave. Water is 22m deep and you can see each grain of sand on the bottom. Amazing!

How often do you get to swim in a cave? Probably never. We'll here you can. The water temp is very refreshingly cool. Not uncomfortable by any means. Plus you get all the typical cave features. It is a must if you are ever in the Varadero area.

We explored the caves with a guide, and it was amazing!!! The history in the caves is amazing, it was about 23-24 degrees but the humidity was about 98%. Hot for walking around, but worth the visit. The tour takes you in 750 Meters, then 750 meters back. Stalactites, stalagmites and crystals all over the walls.

Hey coming from Canada to varadero in feb! Just wondering if I can visit the Saturno caves, with this whole covid thing.
I heard there was a tourism area that were aloud in but would love to see these caves and go for a swim in feb 2021. Thanks in advance
It s ok with small kids?

I would say yes. There is a shallow area that would be great although the rocks do have some cracks and small gaps that go quite deep. There is also a viewing deck that is pretty nice. You may need to keep a close eye on them depending on how small.
Hola que tal? quisiera saber cuanto tiempo dura la excursion?

If you book as a group and do the excursion it is roughly 4-6 hours. I believe it is 1 hour for every stop. You could rent a jeep, if you can drive standard and go yourself. You can stay all day. they have a restaruant and it cosdts 5cuc per person to enter the cave.

Прям в самом без машины мало что можно посмотреть.
Если взять авто а в прокатили скутер, то можно по близлежащим районам покататься. к рифам , пещерам.
По главное улице только разве что в сувенирные, пару клубов вечером( в т.ч. бар Битлз), ну и сигарный магазин.

Hi there,
Just wondering if you have to do this as a tour or if you can do it on your own? Sounds like a cool place and would love to see it but not fond of the private tours.

Sorry for the late response, I just saw your note. Yes, you can definitely go on your own. It's not a big trip and the most you can do is swim, have a few drinks and relax.
