Luon Grotto

Luon (passing through) grotto is situated on the northeast of Bo Hon Island, over 1km away from Sung Sot Grotto. This is a closed mountain arc creating a inland lake linked to the sea through a semi sub merged tunnel. Luon Grotto is nearly 60m in length and varies between 2.5m and 4m height, depending on tide levels. The grotto’s arched ceiling has several stalactites. The lake resembles a stadium with high sloping stands around fern, cycads and orchids grow on the cliffs.
As no tourist boats can enter the grotto, visitors must take 10-15 seat bamboo boat equipped with lifebuoys. A round-trip takes about 20 minutes and is included in the ticket price. A plan to build floating rooms for tourists to stay overnight here is being developed.
