Timeline
10:00
Arrive at Ile Kére Kére and O Hi caves to beat the midday heat. Walk into the limestone caverns to see the 2,000 to 6,000 year old paintings. Look closely for the hunting scenes, animist turtle symbols, and Austronesian-style boats etched into the rock.
11:15
Walk south-southeast for 39 minutes to Valu Beach. Enjoy the white sands and the tropical atmosphere of Jaco Island. This is a quiet spot where fishermen often take visitors out, offering a peaceful break from the caves.
12:00
Head west for 58 minutes to the Lost world viewpoint. Take a moment to rest and look back over the landscape. It is a good place to end the walk before heading back.
