Rikoriko Cave

Rikoriko Cave is recorded as the World's Largest Sea Cave, and is specatular in size. Rikoriko means dancing light, or twilight, in Maori, and the light plays inside the cave are indeed magical. From lucid blues, to oranges, and intertidal purples, the changing seasons, and the suns position in the sky, orchestrate the light play inside the cave.
