Royal Cave:
The calcium carbonate which forms these gorgeous limestone formations in the area’s 350 or more caves probably derives from the skeltons of shellfish as well as coral which were deposited when the sea was covered this site. The remarkable pillars and other formations were created and carved out of the rainwater which trickles into the caves.
Colour formations;
