How deep is the Twin Lagoon?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Lagoons vary in depth from shallow to deep. It is advised to always use a life vest when swimming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The docking area in front of the smaller lagoon is at least a hundred meters away from the wooden steps entering the second lagoon, which is bigger and deeper. The big lagoon is often visited, as it is more thrilling, bigger, wider, and more instagrammable. Once inside,  you can either climb the wooden stair or swim, or use a kayak to pass through a small crevice..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many adventure seekers opt to swim through the small crevice, on the low tide the arch is visible, and you can just swim easily or even use a kayak to go through it. During high tide, the opening is submerged in the water and the only way to find it is to go submerge yourself as well under the water looking for the opening and passing through it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is the Twin Lagoon magical?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Amazingly, these lagoons feel magical. The water here feels warm, cold, warm then cold again. Scientifically it is because, the warm water from the open sea, which is normally warm meets the cold water from the subterranean river which is much colder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The inlet in the lagoon, the tidal movement, and the wind flow affects the current of the water thus giving different, or sometimes sudden change in the temperature of the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The water in Twin lagoon changes colour?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll be awed by Twin Lagoon\u2019s<\/strong> water, from bright blue shade to deep blue shade \u2013 it\u2019s amazing to really see it, not just pictures from the web. The pleasant hue of the water is owing to its interaction with the limestone embracing the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The water is also calm and quiet, because of its surrounding limestone cliffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One might be surprised to know that the colour of the water is changing, but honestly, it\u2019s not. It gets blurry, yeah, and it is because of the different densities and salinity of the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
